How to Find a Lost Cat
video search guide & ebooklet
Find your lost cat with these new scientific methods.
As of 2023, these online guides have gotten cats found in 48 states and 24 countries worldwide.
Thousands of lost cats recovered as a result of the "How to Find a Lost Cat" kit!
How? Because these lost cat tips go way beyond the typical advice ...the lost cat posters, calling/shaking treats, litter box outside, checking shelters, vets, and all the posting on social media.
​
The Lost Cat Kit is the result of 11 years of real-world pet detective experience. The methods are based on scientific studies but condensed and refined for quick help to get a lost cat found even after weeks of no sightings.
​
So much about finding a lost cat is misunderstood. Much of the advice is outdated.
​
Because once people skim these guides and learn the right method for their particular situation, they're finally able to find their missing kitty.
​
Every day, owners tell me they finally found their cat Thanks to my guide and wish their shelter had told them about it.
After all, every lost cat found is one less starving stray who lands in a shelter months after the owner gave up.
​
Learn what works for each situation and cat so you can be the next person writing to say "I found my lost cat using your methods after nothing else worked. Thanks for creating the Lost Cat Finder Kit"

Finn is found!! Someone in the Austin lost & found pets group told me about your lost cat tips. I wish I had known this stuff sooner."
​
​I will be recommending you every chance I get. And guess what? EVERYONE told me to put out the kitty litter! Even the girl at the shelter. Plus I had 3 neighbors say "my cat was eaten by coyotes." Thank you for warning me about the bad advice and not to give up. I ignored the comments and followed your steps!

Lost Pet Tracking and K9 Search & Rescue
"Kim is a WIZARD at finding lost cats!"
I personally know many of Kim's amazing recoveries of lost cats.
Although a search dog can be a great tool, it is more critical that you get advice/counsel from someone like Kim who is trained in lost cat probabilities and behavior than to rush to get a pet detective with a search dog.
I've been in this business training search dogs to find lost pets since 1998, but if my cat were missing, I would hire Kim in a heartbeat. Her company is Lost Cat Finder. If you have lost a cat, I strongly suggest getting her help.
