Let’s find your cat

My 1:1 recovery service is available to residents of Hamilton County, Indiana, and the Geist area and neighborhoods south of 96th Street that border it.

If you're outside this area, the Lost Cat Guide is your best starting point. For specific questions, you can also reach me at brad@lostcatrecovery.com.


Please fill out the form below with as much detail as you can, then IMMEDIATELY BEGIN REVIEWING THE GUIDE while I start working on your case. Every minute matters when a cat is missing, and the guide covers the critical first steps you should take right away.

I work with several families each day, so the guide ensures you have the essential information instantly—no waiting. From there, I’m here for questions, clarifications, emotional support, or simply to be a steady voice during this stressful time.

  • Nothing. Everything I offer—my time, advice, equipment loans, and access to the Lost Cat Recovery guide—is 100% free.

  • Yes—absolutely. The more details you share, the better I can guide you. There is no such thing as “too much information” when it comes to finding a lost cat.

    For example:

    • If they slipped out the door, which door was it?

    • Have there been any confirmed sightings?

    • If they’re an outdoor cat, have they ever gone missing before?

    Every detail—no matter how small—can make a difference in creating the right search plan.

  • It all depends on how much effort you’re willing to put in. Some cats return within days, while others aren’t found for months—or even years.

    Families who stick with the process and follow the recommended steps are far more likely to be reunited with their cat than those who give up quickly. Persistence is the key. I know of several cats who were found long after they went missing, simply because their families never stopped searching.

  • I approach lost cat recovery like a coach running a football team—you are the quarterback.

    I build a clear, proven game plan based on real-world experience and provide it to you entirely free of charge. That plan is designed to give you the best possible chance of bringing your cat home.

    Because my time is limited, implementation is up to you. That said, I’m not handing you a plan and walking away. I stay alongside you throughout the process and can provide as much or as little guidance as you need, including the loan of recovery equipment when available.

    Once you submit, I'll create a personalized search area map, a flyer, and a stop sign flyer for your neighborhood — all based on the address you provide.
