In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
FAQs
❓ Who are you and why are you doing this? Is this a scam?
I get it—free help on the internet often sounds too good to be true. But I promise, this is real.
I’m just a devoted cat guy who owes a lot to cats. My wife shares the same love, and we’ve made this our hobby. I spent years doing TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) work, and through that, I realized there’s a serious lack of support when it comes to lost cats.
We never charge for our time, advice, or equipment loans. We do welcome donations to help expand our mission, but nothing is ever required. This is our passion, not a business.
🚪 What are the most important things to prevent a cat from getting lost?
Microchip your cat. It’s one of the most important things you can do for recovery.
Secure doors. Many cats escape due to doors being blown open or not fully shut. Always double-check.
Use a GPS tracker. I highly recommend the Tractive GPS—it’s affordable and worth every penny, especially for outdoor cats or escape artists.
Secure cats during visitors. When new people come over, keep your cat in a closed room. We never open a door unless we can see every cat—our escape artist gets locked in the bathroom just in case.
Avoid screen windows. Never leave a cat unattended near a screen unless it’s been upgraded to pet-proof mesh. My cat Moses once busted through a screen—we were lucky, but many aren't.
🐾 Should I put out used litter or the litter box?
Absolutely not. This is one of the most harmful myths out there.
Cats instinctively hide their waste to protect themselves. Putting used litter outside can attract predators and other cats, which may actually scare your cat away or prevent them from coming home.
Use worn clothing or bedding instead. Your scent is powerful and comforting to your cat—it’s the best thing to leave out.
Unfortunately, a lot of advice online is blindly repeated without experience or critical thinking. This one in particular has caused more harm than good.
💰 Is offering a reward a good idea?
It depends.
Large cash rewards can attract scammers or people who might try to exploit the situation. That’s not who you want involved in your cat’s recovery.
Instead, I suggest offering a modest incentive—$25 or $50—for a confirmed photo of your cat. A picture gives you proof, allows you to track their location, and helps you know where to set a feeding station or trap.
💸 So what costs money?
Nothing. Seriously.
Everything I offer—advice, time, equipment—is 100% free. No signups, no hidden fees, no selling your info. Just help.
There are a few optional advertising options I can assist with (like printed materials), but those are always offered at cost and only if you’re interested.
Some people golf. I find lost cats.
If my help made a difference and you’d like to contribute toward more traps, cameras, or flyers, I’m incredibly grateful—but I’ll never ask or expect it.
