Message from Owner

375 West 2nd Ave (across from Lois Allen elementary school) in Sunvalley. He is neutered and his shots and micro-chip are current. He came out with me last night (July 30, 2025) at 8:30 pm. I called for him at 10 pm to go in and he did not come. This is VERY unusual behavior for him. I was sure when we woke up today, (July 31st) at 5 a.m., that he would be and wanting to come in for food. There is no sign of him. I have scoured the neighborhood, made all the pet finder ads, and contacted Animal Control. He does not wear a collar. If you have taken him in for the night, very kind of you, but please let him out. He will find us. Call me directly if you have found him or seen him. No texts, please..

Even friendly cats can become frightened when they're lost. To safely lure them back, place a live trap (available at Tractor Supply) near your home, cover it with a towel, and bait it with tuna or KFC Chicken (Yes, it works). If you decide not to keep the trap after reuniting with your cat, you can donate it to a rescue organization dedicated to trapping feral cats.

from SPCA on how to find a lost cat: look around for the closest hiding places. Bring a flashlight look in storm drains; in the heavy brush; up in trees, inside or under sheds; inside garages; under decks; and inside bat crawl spaces – any place where your cat can hide. Stay close by – newly adopted or indoor-only cats are often found within a 3 house radius of their home. Remember your cat may not meow back when you call even though your cat is most likely close by. Your cat is most likely hunkered down to the ground and ready to dart away from any perceived threat – even from you! A cat’s instinct is to hide, stay put, and NOT meow. Put Food, Water, Litter Box, and Bedding Outside: place near the point of escape or close to a good hiding spot nearby. Use strong-smelling canned cat food that your cat can smell from a distance, so your cat knows where to go for food a can of tuna or sardines works wonders. Go out extremely late at night and early mornings with a flashlight and can of tuna, keep your garage door or patio door open a little so the cat can get in. LEAVE YOUR DOOR OPEN SLIGHTLY DURING THE TIME YOUR HOME SO IT CAN GET BACK IN, MAYBE EVEN PUT SOME FOOD BY THE DOOR. Talk to Neighbors: Immediately start talking to your closest neighbors. and ask them to actively search their own property for your cat. Put signs up in your immediate neighborhood with large print saying, “LOSS CAT.” Include a photo, date lost, and phone number where you can be reached 24/7. It could take days, or longer, to get your cat back inside. Do not give up if your cat fails to show up after a day or so. And do not just wait for your cat to come back. You need to actively search for and lure your cat back home. Keep looking in those same old hiding spots – depending on how much time has passed, your cat may be moving from one hiding spot to another. Also, try new spots and enlarge your search area step by step, house by house. Post on "Next-door" app for your area, Go out looking for your fur baby and when found keep the cat inside. check www.washoecounty.us/animal/lost_and_found/index.php, for found pets. I would also check the Nevada Humane Society and look at pictures of cats up for adoption, in case kitty was found and no0t claimed in 5 days and sent there for adoption. Have you asked neighbors to check inside their sheds, garages and under decks? Maybe give them some food to put in these places for few days to see it it gets eaten, also water. There was a loss cat found locked in a shed for 2 weeks alive but skinny, so it's possible. Are you sure kitty got out could be hiding in house, check under, in and behind all furniture and appliances, check in all drawers and cabinets, under mattress and in all vents .
