West Seattle, Washington
25 Thursday
Wally the house cat is missing from our home on 8th Ave SW and Roxbury. We are cat sitting and he got out sometime in the last 24hrs. He is a black short haired cat with a white patch on his under belly. He is very vocal but probably scared as his home is in Everett. He has no collar or tags and is likely hiding in a small space, under steps, or behind a bush. If found please call Danielle at (206)291-2494.
Saw your post on the Highland Park group, I hope you have had sightings.
I am so sorry for the pain you are going through.
Any sightings?
Is he microchipped? If he is chipped, make sure to contact the chip company to report him lost.
Ensure you call the Seattle Animal Shelter lost/found line DAILY – 206-386-7387 and go in person and fill out the forms, and look in person, check all the cages each time you go. Only you know your cat!
Also, inform wherever you adopted her from as they can get the word out further.
Some advice: Put her dirty litter outside, the smell will travel and help guide him if he needs it. Also, put an article of your clothing out. With the coyotes and other critters, food is not recommended. Does your cat have a way to get inside if she does come back? If not, make sure there is a safe place to hang out.
Bug your neighbors, knock on doors and ask to PERSONALLY check sheds, garages, out buildings, etc. (it is your cat, you care much more than your neighbors and they may say they will look around but…) a scared cat can get into some very tiny spaces. When you search, use the voice or noises you use inside, keep the fear out of your voice. Walk, call, wait (quietly), repeat and then walk back the same way you came calling again. Too many feet make too much noise so if people are helping, send in twos on other routes. Check under bushes, look up in trees and on roofs, and again, go slow and stay calm.
If necessary, I can provide a trap to assist in catching Wally. I also live very close if you need assistance searching, or just a hug.
There are also some great tips here for search advice and literature about the behavior of lost kitties, you can go to Missing Pet Partnership’s website: http://www.missingpetpartnership.org
Sending compassion, and good thoughts. Blessed be, may Wally kitty return home safely and quickly!
