Message from Owner

Hi everyone, I’m hoping you can help me find this sweet girl. About a month ago, she showed up at my neighbor’s hse and basically decided she lived there. Animal control suggested encouraging her to leave, but this stubborn little lady stayed. Since my neighbor is already caring for three male strays and his cats didn’t get along with her, I took her in. I've been feeding her, caring for her, and giving her all the love and affection she could need while continuously checking local Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and other pages every day to see if anyone was looking for her, but never found a post. She’s been such a precious, loving little fur baby and has really become part of my family so to say she is missed is an understatement. Last Thursday night, my mom let her out for a bit like usual as she loves the indoors and outdoors, (she normally comes right back in), but this time she didn’t return. Her air tag shows that she was last seen near Pawnee Street in Tustin. I’ve gone out looking for her but haven’t had any luck yet. If you see her or have any information, please message me. I would truly love to bring her back . And if she originally belonged to a family and found her way back to them, I would also really appreciate knowing she’s safe — it would mean a lot for my peace of mind. Thank you so much for reading and for keeping an eye out 🤍

Angelica Gabriela Velazquez I'm so sorry 🙏 Don't give up hope, keep flyering, put outside flyers in plastic paper protectors, with the open side facing down. Continue the late night searches with a flashlight and cat treats, Look where there are a lot of community cats, ask neighbors if they've seen the cat, ask them to look on their surveillance camera's,or doorbell camera's video, give flyers to neighbors, delivery people, postal workers, dog walkers, joggers.

Could she have gone home? Post on Nextdoor in Cat Owner's group, and in Lost and Found Pets groups,post on the Neighbors app,on LostMyKitty, PetcoLoveLost, 24Petconnect,file a Lost report with the local animal control services,or shelter. Ask neighbors to check their sheds, garages, and bats,they get trapped in them, sometimes,ask if you can look in their backyard. Ask if you,or they can look at their surveillance camera's video for your cat
