her name is Claire and she's been missing since Friday

she's an indoor/outdoor cat and has a tendency to sometimes go off somewhere we don't know, but always comes back

if you can or know anybody in the area, please pass this along, we're starting to think someone mistakenly thought she was a stray and picked her up

she is microchipped but the shelter is closed during the weekend and hasn't been of much help presently

no she does not have a collar but as you can see she has a distinctive mark on her stomach

I don't usually like doing things that cross over so heavily into rl like this but I'm super stressed by now

please replurk if you can and maybe eventually we'll reach someone else in modesto

Good luck. I hope you find her.

My best friend lives in Modesto; I'll forward her the word.

thank angel

Good luck ;;

good luck! i've heard that moving a cat's litterbox or some of your clothes in a box outside your house can help them find their way home

also be sure to check under porches and such nearby! cats don't usually go too far from home

i've heard it helps to set a crate with some water and a favorite blanket or something outside where she'd last have been

YEAH THAT mobile, whatcha gonna do

That's a good deal north from me, but I'll replurk

Have you checked pics online? A lot of times they'll post pics of animals that have been turned into shelters

We did that recently when someone literally kidnapped one of our kittens

I have been, yeah, I'm loading up the site again right now

OH

But, they don't always put up pics of "strays"

!!! my friend's sister lives in modesto!!!

If the cat got turned in as a stray it might not be put up

i'll past the word directly onto her, esp since she gets a lot of cats in her area; hope you can find claire

So even if you don't spot the pic it might be worth it to go in person and ask... Actually, maybe even e-mail them a pic and ask if they've gotten this kitty

Since you do have plenty of good pics it seems

I remember reading something about taking out a blanket or bed or something with her scent and sitting it outside, because it might help the pet find their way home

It's been rainy in modesto lately so I'm really not sure how much the scent thing would actually help, I'm not trying to discredit y'all or anything

and I don't personally have a facebook, no, but my mom has posted on facebook about it, I'll ask her if she'll hit up any community groups about it

we're making lost posters right now

here's that post

I'll try leaving out her blanket on the porch tonight

hope nobody steals it

Scent stays far longer than people can smell it

also her fave stinky wet food

::Plurk Frontpage Promotion::

also TroubledBlues might have some tips?

haha, we leave out food and a dish of wet food in our backyard for what that's worth? we have another cat that lives exclusively outside

I put her blanket out on the front porch

may she come home a little hungry but otherwise safe

that's good!

I don't live locally, but I will say this: when I lost my cat a few years ago, these folks really helped a bunch. And I recovered him almost two months after he got lost.

Seriously, this website has a bunch of great tips, and it helped me recover my cat a couple years ago.

OOOh I should share this on my Facebook since people who live near me follow me.

Do you have something I can link to my Facebook?

I believe there is a Facebook page dedicated to finding lost pets in this area too. Let me see if I can find it.

https://www.facebook.com...

This group is especially for the Modesto and surrounding area.

They help find lost pets. I suggest joining and posting information there as they may have people who can help search local shelters etc.

komikbookgeek: yeah she's definitely grounded from outside for a good while, I'm going to push for putting a collar on her more

Good. Keep her in long enough and she'll get used to it.
