Message from Owner

Rex isn’t “just a cat” to me. He is my boy, my little shadow, my comfort, and one of those once-in-a-lifetime animals that somehow knows you better than most people do. Rex and I have our own little bond, our own routines, and even our own secrets. ❤️ He has been there for conversations no one else has heard, tears no one else has seen, and countless ordinary moments that I never realized could mean so much until he wasn’t here. Our home does not feel like our home without him. I keep looking for him in all of his usual places and hoping every little sound is him coming back. We love and miss him more than I can possibly put into words. Please, if you see an orange tabby that could possibly be Rex, even if you aren’t completely sure, take a picture if you can and contact me. And please check your garages, sheds, porches, cameras, bushes, and anywhere a scared cat could hide. One small effort could be the thing that brings our boy home. Someone out there may have seen him without realizing just how desperately someone is looking for him. Please help us bring Rex home. ❤️

Buy your cat a tracking collar. You will know where he is at all times.

Please read till the end..Walk around calling your cat as you always do. Look under bushes and in hiding places. Look at dawn and dusk with a flashlight to catch the glare of your cat's eyes. Leave garage door and lanai partially open if possible. Your cat will try to get back inside ..most likely at night. Use a trap...The only way to find his way home.or to the trap is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside and around the trap. A friend of mine used her shirt and dragged it through the neighborhood. Her cat found the smell and followed it home. It is all about the smell. You can also cut a shirt of yours into small small pieces and leave a scent trail back to the trap. I read a few days ago that a lady put out a trace with the old litter throughout the neighborhood. It worked. Her cat came home! Use the litter to lead your cat to the trap. Also try to distribute flyers throughout that neighborhood...as many as you can ( 3 miles radius at least). Check shelters in person...don't just call. Put battery operated trail cameras or motion cameras (Amazon for $25) outside. Your cat might show up in the middle of the night. When you know the time you can wait for for your cat and slow blink to make contact. NEVER GIVE UP! I read once that you can put a chair outside and cover it up with a blanket and the cat can jump up and hide under the blanket and feels safe. They said you should put one of your shirts under the blanket and food and water next to the chair. It might be worth a try to put up a chair

Place clothing you have worn outside so kitty picks up your scent.
