Message from Owner

Please help us bring home Mitea, missing since May 27, 2026, near Westview Ct. and Pleasant Crest Dr. He is a long-haired brown and black tabby with a fluffy white chest and distinctive white paws. Crucial identifier: He has a slight limp on his hind leg from an old injury. Because he survived a coyote attack when he was younger, he is easily stressed, deeply fearful of strangers, and will hide silently if he feels threatened. If you spot him, please do not chase or try to catch him, as his panic will cause him to bolt. Instead, please take a photo if you can, note the exact location, and call/text me. We also kindly ask neighbors to check inside outdoor sheds, garages, under decks, and in crawl spaces where a terrified, limping cat might be hiding. Thank you so much for keeping an eye out!

For Mitea’s people: Please read the advice shared on the Missing Animal Response Network. They have a page specific to lost cat behavior. https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/ If you have not already, visit neighboring homes and ask them to look into their garages and outbuildings, checking multiple times while sitting patiently, and quietly. Cats get scared when in strange places and won't necessarily bolt for the door when it is opened, and might not even run to a familiar person if they happen to be present. Also, post flyers - don't rely upon everyone having access to on-line posts. Check every logical and illogical place your cat may have gotten into on your property, to name just a couple: cabinets/drawers — high and low; in garages/basements/sheds. Don’t forget to check in with local vets and animal shelters. Some have had success with placing a humane trap in their backyard - luring kitty in with a serving of their regular food; also with leaving clothing/blankets with your and/or their scent. If you have not already, post to Pawboost and/or Nextdoor. Each has their own audience and can be highly effective. Finally, for any reading this, please keep a bowl of water (ideally freshened every 2-3 days) in your garages/outbuildings for those instances when a neighborhood critter happens to find themselves trapped. Good luck, I hope to read a positive update on Mitea soon!
