How to Find a Lost Cat

pet detective book cover

video search guide & ebooklet

Find your lost cat with these new scientific methods.

As of 2024, these online Lost Cat guides have gotten lost cats found in 48 states and 24 countries worldwide.

 

That's thousands of lost cats recovered thanks to this online  "How to Find a Lost Cat" kit.

 

How? Because these lost cat tips go way beyond the typical stuff of posting on social media, visiting the shelters, calling/shaking treats, putting out dirty cat litter.

The Lost Cat Kit is the result of 11 years of real-world pet detective experience. The methods are based on scientific methods condensed and refined for quick help to get a lost cat found - even after weeks of no sightings.

Once owners skim these guides and learn the right method for their situation, they finally get their cat back home.

Every day, owners tell me how they found their cat and wish their shelter had told them about this Lost Cat Kit sooner.

 

Because each lost cat found is one less starving stray who lands in a shelter months later.

Learn what works for each type of lost cat situation 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!! 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. Plus I had 3 neighbors say that "my cat was eaten by coyotes." Thank you for warning me about the mean comments and bad advice. I ignored them all and followed your steps!

"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.
