Message from Owner

Potato chip was recently found at Zebulon Walmart already fixed with an ear tip. She has folded ears due to frostbite and was recently settling into her foster home when she got out. She is not microchipped yet. Please help us bring back this poor girl who has already had a rough go of life.

LOST CAT TIPS So sorry! May be injured and hiding, search with flashlight looking for eyes. Search everywhere! Someone recently found their cat who was lost almost a month stuck in a drain ditch 7 houses from where the cat was lost from. Cats don’t usually go far unless not fixed (un neutered males will travel far looking for female- get them fixed and will stay closer to home) picked up or hitched a ride, search, scent and posters are key to finding them, go slow and call in normal tone. Indoor only are typically within 7 houses while outdoor cats can be 17 houses away or further because something disturbs their territory and they run further and get lost or stuck. -Report as lost to shelter ASAP and check there daily! -If chipped, alert chip company (ensure chip is up to date) -Search with flashlight for eyes under decks, in sheds, crawlspaces, drain ditches, garages, etc….maybe too scared to come out and needs to hear your familiar tone. Especially drains, they can get in and can’t get out! Look high in the trees could be stuck! They can hide up to 10 days! If considering a tracker, need to get within two weeks for optimal scent( I can recommend some if interested) -Some cats recognize their owners voice (familiar sound they use with them). Sit outside at dark, using that sound and listen for them, and have some stinky food with you. If they have a dog or cat Buddy record them and play it -Lure them back with scent (stinky trail mix and set up a food station with food and water with a camera) -If safe leave door cracked where they got out with food trail going in -Leave garage door cracked with food inside -Get lots of posters out as they help reunite many pets! Many don’t have social media! -Post on Nextdoor, Ring, pawboost, petfbi. Org , lostmykitty .com and -If in woods, create a stinky mix of mackerel juice spray high in trees and sprinkle some on ground leading back home along with dirty clothing ending at a feeding station at home with camera. -If inside only cat and not seen going out, do a thorough search inside (could be stuck somewhere) and if you had any recent construction work at home, check the areas the work was done.

Lynne Coppola geez Lynne how many animals have you saved, rescued, TNR, how many animals that aren’t yours do you feed a day? How many elderly people do you help feed their animals when they can’t? I’ll wait on your response. I didn’t see you at Walmart daily to check on her until she finally trusted you enough to get into a trap…I didn’t see you taking her to the vet to get proper care and open your home to her. How many foster or adopted animals do you have? sorry but screw you.

Lynne Coppola didn’t realize you were a perfect human that’s never once made a mistake or had an accident.
