Message from Owner

I had my cat when I was 13 years old he got to watch me grow up and I got to watch him grow up. I would like to have him back before It’s too late. He’s not a young cat. He’s going to be eight in a week and I would like to have him home before then. Please if you find him, bring him home to me

Most Effective Ways to Help a Lost Cat Find Home: Immediately: Search at dusk and dawn — cats are most active then and more likely to respond Call their name in a calm, quiet voice — not loud, which can frighten them further Shake their favorite treat bag or food container — that sound is deeply familiar Leave their litter box outside — this actually IS very effective because the smell is extremely strong and distinctly theirs and bring it inside at night to prevent other critters..put it back outdoors as soon as possible in the morning..first light is best Leave your worn clothing outside — this does help, combined with other methods Actively search: Check hiding spots — under porches, decks, bushes, in garages Ask neighbors to check sheds and garages.. in the beginning your kitty is very very close most likely. Search within a 3-5 house radius first — scared cats often hide very close by Spread the word: Post on Nextdoor, Facebook local groups, and Lost & Found Cats, online and physical, organizations of your county/city, publications and animal control, police and local shelters immediately. All the immediately work will make the difference. Create flyers with a clear photo and your phone number immediately with reward. Place in all convenience stores and anywhere else thst allows the posting. Include a reward on the poster reward. People who may have found your cat may be motivated to return it in light of getting cash. Their litter box (most effective scent item)..again at night bring it in and put in a porch.or place where the scentcan get through a window. Put out their bed or blanket where it not get wet but outside. Of course a bowl of their food. I can't stress enough the effectiveness of flyers with reward and photo in all local places that low community posts. Also Nextdoor Neighborhood app..invaluable.

Look at night with a flashlight while calling his name. Look especially under bushes and in neighbors yards garages and sheds. Look up in trees, Leave something outside with his scent on it like his bedding. Leave something outside with your scent on it like an unwashed piece of clothing. Leave out smelly cat food. Hang signs with his photo. Call and visit local shelters and veterinary offices. Good luck!🍀

Call local vets, shelters, precincts in case someone found him and brought him in.

Ask neighbors to check property, he may have gone in somewhere and got locked in accidentally. Check at dawn and dusk, they tend to hide and come out at those times. Check animal care centers on 110th between 1st and 2nd in Harlem, and make a lost pets report with them. Check daily. There is one of Fordham Road too, Harlem is the main location. Check both and all locations. Hang flyers. Google and search social media for local rescues, not all have a facility and use those outlets. Ask around if anyone feeds strays, he may show up looking for food. Keep check around your area, they really do tend to hide and stay close by. Good luck.

First put out a big bowl of water IMMEDIATELY. Then, did you try the kitty litter trick? Take some litter from their box and sprinkle outside leading to your door then call them constantly especially at dawn and dusk and when it's quiet. Kitty will follow its scent and your voice home. It's no doubt scared and hiding. You can also try a stinky can of sardines! Or if kitty is a cuddler, try putting an article of your clothing by your door. Also check area garages, under car hoods, shelters, Nextdoor and Pawboost for found kitties in and near your zip. Don’t give up. And post flyers around your neighborhood. Good luck! And please keep your kitty inside if you let it out!! Between coyotes, diseases, bad actors and cars, there are so many ways harm can come to them. Finally, if your kitty isn’t fixed, please spay/neuter!
