Fluffy black cat. Green eyes. She is skittish. Her fur had been starting to matt. Her last weight I think was about 8 pounds. Ivy does have a microchip.

Message from Owner

Ivy is our sweet 12 year old outdoor cat who is very shy but very sweet! Once she trusts you, she will give you lots of love and purrs. She loves some good scratchins ❤️Our young son has been saying her name for the last few days and helping us look for her, but we've had no luck. Please help us find our little fur ball! ❤️ Thank you!

Check thoroughly inside first: behind appliances (washing machine), inside fireplaces/chimneys, closets, drawers, cupboards, under/inside furniture (they can climb inside), attic, crawlspaces. • Don’t put out a litter box. Instead, put a dirty t-shirt or worn shoes outside (familiar scent, won’t attract other animals). • Leave a box with a blanket/shirt outside your door so they have a safe hiding spot if they return. • Leave a door/window open overnight (especially where they escaped) + small food trail. • Crack your garage door overnight—cats often return late at night/early morning. • Put out wet food for short periods only (while monitoring). • Consider a humane trap (local shelters/rescues can help). • Post on Nextdoor + other local FB groups. • Tell your mail carrier and neighbors (ask them to check sheds, garages, porches, hedges). • Knock on doors + leave flyers if no one answers. • Put up printed flyers with photo + contact info (in a plastic page protector if it’s raining) • Go out at night with a flashlight (eyes will glow under cars, bushes, porches). • Bring treats and call softly. • Contact your microchip company and update info ASAP. • Visit shelters in person (don’t rely only on calls). Local shelters to contact: • Rescue One: (417) 862-9288 • Watching Over Whiskers: (417) 831-2662 Springfield Animal Control: (417) 833-3592 • Humane Society of Southwest Missouri: (417) 833-2526 Most cats are found within a few houses—don’t give up ❤️
