LAST SEEN: 1502 STATE HIGHWAY 68, VELARDE,NM. Black mesa winery and cidery. Velarde valley. My cat Luna got out of our trailer at night in a vineyard area in New Mexico. The surroundings are desert-like with nearby mountains. She is likely scared and hiding, as she is an easily frightened cat. She has been missing since she slipped out we looked for her during the night and morning of the next day but nothing, and has not returned. I am currently away but will be returning to search for her again soon. Luna is a small to medium-sized cat with white paws and belly, her back and the top of her head are mocha brown color, she has very unique ligth eyes that can look green, gray or yellow depending on the light. She is shy and easily scared .

Create a scent station (items with your/your cat’s smell - unwashed bedding, clothing, cat tower, etc. Especially important if cat is in new/unfamiliar area. Do NOT put out litter pan as feces often used to mark territory and may inadvertently attract predators or territorial cats.). Check it often, especially when things are quiet (late evening/early morning). Leave the garage door open 5” overnight. Check nearby Ring/security cameras in the area. Check in and under everything inside and outside with a flashlight. Cats don’t usually go far and freeze in a tight ball in very small, tight, dark areas when scared. The flashlight catches their eyes’ stare, especially at night. Thoroughly check inside your home, especially if this is a new/shy/scared pet. Post on NextDoor app as it covers your local neighborhoods. Be sure to check your local animal shelter in person at least every other day (can’t stress enough - in person!!! You know your pet best plus animals constantly brought in). If your cat is not spayed/neutered, may be why it is “lost” and traveling further. Hope your pet is home safe and soon. (Note: if anyone asks for money or a code as “they have your pet,” this is a scam). https://www.pawboost.com/blog/7-effective-search-tips-for-finding-your-lost-cat/ https://petfbi.org/i-lost-a-cat/tips-to-lure-a-cat-back-home-2/
