Oh my, how worrisome. We'll say some "come home" prayers for Misty and that she returns safe and sound....

I have a message I send out to folks around here who post a lost cat or dog on craigslist. Maybe you will get some ideas from this:


If I already sent this to you, I apologize for the duplication.



Lost Cat / Dog

I have a few suggestions.

1. If the pet is micro chipped, call the company and let them know. Many people forget to do this in the mad dash to find the pet.

2. Make a poster on your computer. Use a photo if you have one. Make the photo and your phone number large!

If you have a color printer, print it out. If not, save it to disc.

Take the poster or the disc to Staples. Have them make color copies. Have about 15 laminated; or you can buy the sticky laminate sheets and do that yourself back at home.

Get some tape, and a stapler; the kind of stapler which lets you open it up and staple onto something.

Take a poster to all the vets in your area. ALL VETS have a place for lost pet posters. Sometimes people try to keep the pet and pass it off as their own, taking it in to a vet for shots.

Take a poster to the Animal Control for your city. Also take one to any shelters, SPCA s, in the area.

Put up a poster at all high traffic stores in the area; be sure to ask first. Most shops will say OK; this is where you use the tape. Convenience stores, grocery stores, banks. (Not a flooring store, they don’t get enough regular business for this type of thing.)

If there are apartments in the area, put up a poster at all the entrances.

Starting where the pet went missing, put the laminated posters on the utility poles at all the intersections for a mile in every direction. You want the laminated ones as they will survive a few rains. The phone number should be large enough for people to read from the car. Do all 4 corners at each intersection.

If there is a school nearby, enlist the students’ help. These posters should include a reward -- $25 or $50. They are always looking for spending money! Put up the posters near the school, on the utility poles.

3. Depending on where the pet went missing, and where you live, leave some food out. Remember: you WILL attract wildlife. Skunks and raccoons just to name a few. Think about it before you do this!

4. Something additional if you don't know about it is the www.thepetrescue.com site that allows you to post a lost pet listing for free (with limited services) and for $20 (for premium services). Look into it if you're interested.

Best wishes, and I pray that you find your pet safe and sound, quickly!

Thanks, Freedom! I didn't think about laminating and I also didn't know to make my phone # BIG but that sure does make sense. Glad I read those ideas before I printed them out!
