Indoor cat escapes in California, found with coaching from a Cat Detective in Georgia.

The story of an escaped indoor cat, a dedicated owner, and a solved pet detective mystery.

Hermosa Beach, CA.

This smart lost cat owner read my online "How to Find a Lost Cat" booklet and followed the advice, but after three weeks and no leads, she knew it was time to get a custom consult from the author, Kim Freeman. Turns out, she would never have found her escaped cat, Canolli without that decision.

Here's the story of how the Cat Detective solved the mystery of the cat who vanished into thin one day.

"in the owner's detailed Lost Cat Case Profile, she gave me the key background clues before we talked. Poor indoor-only cat Canolli ran out the door when a plumber was there drilling 3 weeks ago. Loud scary noise!

Since there'd been no sightings in 3 weeks, I told her what I tell everyone: it's time to consider those things you didn't think possible. Even the ones that sound crazy.

I gave her a list of five possibilities based on her profile details, the first being, "Call the plumber. Ask where he went right after your house."

After the ZOOM consult, Alyx told her mother I'd suggested her cat may have been accidentally transported by the plumber. Her mom laughed and said, "There is NO WAY Cannoli would go near a vehicle."

Alyx was so dedicated to finding her missing cat, she checked it out anyway based on my advice.

When she called the plumber, he told her that, Yes when he got home that day, his dog was barking at his van. He opened the hood "and a cat jumped out and took off!"

Alyx texted me back on her way over to the plumber's neighborhood.

Within two hours, she was able to find her starving little cat and carried her home!

Although I am a professional lost pet finder, on a long-distance cases like this, I am a true Cat Detective ;-)

So happy for these two and grateful when people seek out and listen to my advice!
