Lined all of the cages with grass or ground cover I know cat's are touchy where they step, she had cans of tuna and some Jack Mac for bait, you would think the picky cat would just be hungry after a few days.

The cat is chipped if it gets picked up sounds like it's spooky around people and noises the question is when did it stop running and hold up? I'm set up as far from the parking area and from I-90 as I can be.

I added skunk and some coon size cages for fear of the smaller ones snapping and scaring the cat away this is a one shot deal I'd rather have some "elbow" room to work with.

Will trap there until Monday if someone turns it in great that's the goal to recover the cat.

agreed,if sal didnt start school friday id come help....just not possible now,,,goal is to get her pet to her...hope somebody does

You would just scare the cat even further away.Whatsa matta U

i got so many cats on my porch i probably smell like cat...it would probably pounce on me

LOL me too.If she needs a cat she can have one of mine!!

Next time checking traps,walk through the area shaking a plastic coffee can that's only part filled with hard cat food and call for it.That might sound dumb,but you might be surpsised if it don't at least start meowing if its within ear shot.I found one of my wifes disappeared cats like that one time.

good idea too,cats probably around but alot of variables,dangers.....11 days is a long time

pm to ya jerry

I do the Kitty kitty thing when I enter the draw I don't think it will run me over but just one reply would be nice.

No, I’m very much in need. The reason I am offering decent money is because I need a professional willing to dedicate the time and effort to get the job done. I don’t expect anyone to work for free, I certainly couldn’t! But I am in a financial position to afford this job. My cat is part of my family, and I love him very much. I just want him back.

trying to help
try mouse after dark and quiet....at least if u see her its a start

Try the coffee can deal while calling next time.

I had been off the forum as I was working my behind off trying to find the cat and laying some traps with the local trapper, then I had to get to Maine where I’m on a 6 mos assignment. It literally took almost 24 hours to get here given the drive to and from airports due to rural locations, and flight delays. I’m dead! But I’m back to looking on the forum now.

That’s a good idea. I heard there was a mouse call too. Unless that’s what you were talking about. I was assuming you meant bait a mouse.

i would use quiet squeaks after dark long before calling her by voice.....because we dont know if jerrys voice will scare her.....first try squeaks very quietly ,,,if u see she is still around then u could try the others

yup thats what im talking about,,mouse squeaks...

No it’s actually recommended by pet finders too. Or popping a can lid of cat food, crinkling a bag of treats. My cat ate dry food so your suggestion is a good one. Prob is I’m not there. I live in Wyoming, and I’m on assignment in Maine. Hence my dire need for help. I appreciate the community, suggestions, and people helping to connect me with folks. You guys have been great. Thank you!!!

That's how I wake up the skunk at bed time I shake her bowl with a little ferret food in it, I will give that a shot tomorrow!

at this point try everything....main idea is to find if she is still in area....ill bet,,,food,territoriality,association with like animals etc.curiousity...is she fixed?

right now cats here are eating tons of frogs and grasshoppers even though fed......if food doesnt work try the mouse squeaks,,work on curiousity
