🚨 MISSING CAT – REBA 🚨 Please help us bring our sweet girl home. 💔 Reba is a 3-year-old female orange tabby who has been missing from the Village Brook neighborhood in Riverview, FL since July 19, 2026. She is microchipped but was not wearing a collar when she went missing. Reba is an indoor cat who occasionally spent time in our fenced backyard. She is likely scared and hiding nearby. She may be under a porch, in a garage, shed, bushes, or any quiet place where she feels safe. Please check: • Garages before closing them • Sheds and storage areas • Under porches, decks, and bushes • Pool cages and lanais • Security camera footage from July 19 onward If you see Reba, please do not chase her. If possible, take a photo and contact us immediately with the location and time you saw her. We miss her more than words can say and are doing everything we can to bring her home. Every share, sighting, and camera check could make the difference. 📍 Missing from: Village Brook, Riverview, FL 33579 📞 Call or text Harley at with any information, no matter how small. Thank you so much for helping us look for our girl. ❤️

I’m so sorry your beautiful mackerel orange (ginger) tabby cat got outside, but please try not to despair -- Reba is likely hiding close to her escape route, too frightened to come when called or emerge in the daylight. Most escaped cats will attempt to return on their own, usually within the first few nights if the conditions are just right, so if you know what to expect and how to react, you could have her back inside by morning. I've recovered many escaped cats and have a full set of instructions, but I’ll withhold them for now, hopeful you won’t need them. This is what I suggest you do and when: DURING THE DAYTIME alert nearby neighbors in case Reba is hiding on he opposite side of the fence (under a vehicle, outdoor furniture, shrubs, or in a garage, shed, or carport, etc.), then, if there’s time before dark and you can search SILENTLY without dislodging her from her hiding spot, focus your efforts close to the fence perimeter and tiptoe around in the daylight using a flashlight, but be quiet and discreet so as not to frighten her (shhh! DO NOT CALL or shake treats), check every crack and crevice, look in, under and around sheds, vehicles, furniture, under foundations and porches, into trees etc. but suspend searching when it gets dark to give her the chance to return voluntarily. IMMEDIATELY )if you see this comment overnight) or AT DUSK crack open the fence gate and if she's only vaguely familiar with the backyard, lay a familiar blanket or worn teeshirt flat on the doorstep where she exited the home (DO NOT USE a litter box, bedding, trap or anything obvious -- it's there for scent only to give Reba the confidence to come out of hiding) along with a bowl of food (to calm her and hold her attention). Call her softly to provide a familiar sound and direction, then watch and listen closely from inside (DO NOT GO BACK OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT!) and if you see Reba approach and settle on the food be very careful not to startle her as you slowly and quietly provide a clear path back inside. If you can't wait up, set an alarm and watch again just before sunrise -- it's a popular time to return. Please let me know what happens tonight and if she's not back by morning, I'll provide more detailed instructions. Also, although some suggest putting out kitty's litter box, EXPERTS WARN AGAINST IT. I've never used one in all the times I've been successful recovering a lost cat. Please read this to learn more about why it's neither necessary nor recommended: https://www.facebook.com/notes/lost-cats-georgia/why-we-dont-recommend-putting-your-lost-cats-litter-box-outside/1101245526665296/
