"Within 12 hours of getting my Lost Cat Kit my cat is home! I got rid of all the don'ts you mentioned and Ignored 4 non-confirmed sightings blocks away and waited. 3 hours later.....he's home and snuggling with best friend (Salmon our dog). In total gone... 6 days and 5 nights. 

 

Thank you so much! Seriously your information! It had me going against everything everyone else was saying, but was the best thing I ever did.

Finn is found!! A kind person 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? So many people told me to put out the kitty litter! Even the girl at the shelter.

Famous pet detective

"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 into hiring 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. Check her out at Lost Cat Finder. If you have lost a cat, I strongly suggest her help.
