Message from Owner

Has anyone seen our beloved Gary?? He’s wearing a greenish/bluish dark collar with a bow tie. Please don’t comment about letting cats outside as I’m not getting into that debate, I’m just trying to find out if anyone has seen him. He got out yesterday afternoon and he’s very used to being out. We lived in the mountains before we moved to the desert and rescued him from there and he was already an outdoor cat roaming the mountains. He is very friendly and curious and I’m wondering if he got stuck in someone’s grge or car etc. 🙏🙏 Fearing the worst 😭😭 but he usually doesn’t roam far and he’s very aware and alert of his surroundings (yes I know that doesn’t always mean everything). Many of you in the upper cove neighborhood know him. Praying Gary comes !! He’s also unfortunately overweight 😞 and loves to eat. Top of Diaz near Tecate. 😞

I highly recommend putting your worn tee shirt outside immediately. Your cat will smell your scent and find his way home. Do not put the litter box outside, it will attract predators.

Set up a scent station for him to help him find his way back home. Pls DO NOT set out the litter box as it will attract predators. Hoping he comes home to you, soon and safe.

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can me n take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum theyqq snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
