Meet Earl Grey! Found on Georgetown Dr./Wilson Dr. in Hopewell. 'Earl' is an older cat who appears to have been on his own for quite some time. He's super sweet, affectionate, and calm. He at the veterinarian being neutered, vaccinated, and his ears treated.
By any chance is he your long lost cat?
Kind of hard to see but this guy has showed up a few nights on our camera. He would have had to travel a good ways as we live in the middle of Cleveland but looks very similar.
I'm so sorry about your baby.🥺💔 Most cats stay close to home so it is critical to stay as proactive, and persistent, as possible.
●Crack your garage door or leave a porch door open so it can get inside. Cats return at night when you're sleeping so you miss them. This also ensures if your cat was chased away, it can sneak back inside when it can.
●Check everywhere outside even in drain pipes and drains, in logs, under bushes and cars, up in trees and anywhere it's collar could get hung. Use a flashlight after dark as it will make your cat's eyes glow.
●Check under your house and your neighbor's houses, in sheds, garages, bats, etc.
●Indoor-only or new to the area lost cats tend to not recognize their owners outside because it is a different environment and they are scared. Sit outside every single day especially in the morning and at dusk/night so your cat can get used to you being there.
●Put food in a plastic container with a lid and periodically shake it and call your cat's name.
●Print flyers for neighbors and businesses in the area.
●Put posters in public areas, like on street signs and in your front yard, and offer some type of reward, if you can.
●Put the reward amount on the flyers and posters. A reward will incite people to intentionally be on the lookout for your cat or to return it to you.
●Work with a cat rescue to immediately set a cat trap or you can purchase one at Tractor Supply, Home Depot or on Amazon and set it yourself. You will need to monitor the trap(s)
●Post on the Ring app, Nextdoor app and Pawboost and visit pet rescues/shelters in person regularly to see if someone has found your cat and has taken it to one. Give them a flyer and report your cat as missing.
●Consistently visit rescues and shelters. They only hold a cat 3 to 5 days without a microchip before putting it up for adoption, and only for 7 days with a microchip. Even if the cat has a microchip, the chip can float and be missed by the scanner.
●Set notification alerts for the Facebook lost and found pets groups in case someone has found your cat.Read More
