Message from Owner

My best friend got out the front door the other day, my heart is broken. I’m trying everything I can to find him, he means the world to me. He’s gotten me through so much in life that I have to keep trying. I love my best friend I can’t even sleep at night knowing he’s not home safe. I originally got him on the streets about 4 years ago when his mama past he was just a kitten. He’s a very skittish he’ll likely run if approached. He doesn’t have a collar or a chip unfortunately. I appreciate any help I can get to get my best buddy back.

James Tatum no I don’t think that’s him he’d be way to sketched out to approach anyone I think. Thank you for letting me know though, if you see anything else please let me know.

No updates yet unfortunately, I walk through the alley and around the surrounding houses every couple hours softly calling him with some treats and trying to shine a flashlight so I can spot him but no luck just other kitty's. Just put some more sardines in the trap. My buddy must be scared 😞 please come home

Elizabeth thank you, I been calling out to him about every hour or so unfortunately my house is surrounded by abandoned houses so most spots I would suspect aren’t accessible to me. I have a trap setup in my back yard with some food with my shirt and a blanket over it. I got my front and back door open too incase he wants to just walk in. I’m praying something works to get him back.

Rent or borrow a humane trap. The SPCA and other animal shelters rent them out for $100. When you return the trap you get your $100 back. Place the trap near where the cat escaped. Put some of the cat's favorite food and treats inside of the trap along with an article of your clothing with your scent on it. This method worked for me on two different occasions. If you trap the wrong cat or some other animal, put a blanket over the trap leaving the door exposed. Stand behind the trap and release the animal. Reset the trap. Time is of the essence so do this asap. Good luck and God bless.

Here are some tips to help you find your cat: You can contact animal control and police in case someone finds your cat and calls them. Also use pawboost, lostmykitty and petfbi to list your cat as well. With Lostmykitty, their free option includes making a flyer, and I believe they email a photo to all the local shelters. They also offer an amber alert where they will call and leave a message about your missing cat to all your neighbors. If you choose the free optionr first, they than usually offer you a discount on the amber alert. Probably the most helpful thing you can do is see if your town and surrounding towns have community Facebook groups and join them andy share this post there. These are the people who will see your cat! And if you haven't already, post your lost cat on the many missing pet sites on Facebook. There are usually several for specific areas. When indoor only cats get outside, they often start acting wild, making it hard to catch them. You can try setting a humane trap in your yard. This has helped many people catch their cats. Also having a trail camera will let you know if your cat is coming around. And usually indoor cats are very frightened outside, so they find a good hiding spot nearby and often stay there. So search with a flashlight at night and look for glowing eyes in hiding spots and up in trees. Sometimes when an indoor cat gets out, they start acting a bit feral. So if you are able to leave the door your cat got out of a little open or even a window, they might come back in on their own when no ones around. This has worked for me before. Also, call all the local vets and emergency vets and email them a photo so they can keep an eye out if anyone brings your cat to the vet. Lastly, check the local shelters on Facebook regularly as they usually post pictures of the animals they receive. You can also file a missing pet report with them and you can go to them in person and look at the cats they have. I hope you find your cat soon. 💚
