I have had the pleasure of caring for over 7 cats over the past 30 years. Until 2 weeks ago never has a cat of mine been lost, much less outside for over a week! Every pet owner can imagine the panic. Fortunately I found the lostmykitty site and it was my source of truth every step of the way. The tools and resources helped guide me into a plan of action. It also helped me understand how cats react to being lost, where to look, who to contact and patience. My little Leah came home on her own after 8 days, sneaking up to me seemingly out of nowhere, in great shape, obviously relieved to be home. She is grounded...indefinitely. Thank you lostmykitty!!
