This Michigan lost cat is FOUND after 36 days, despite coyotes freezing weather, heavy snow, and a pack of coyotes howling the night the cat went missing.

This happy reunion is partly due to the owner never assuming the worst plus getting help from the Lost Cat Finder. Here's the news from Lori, his owner

Kim! HE’S HOME!! Poor baby is skin and bones and very agitated, but he’s inside and safe after 36 days!!!

He cries non-stop and upset if I’m out of his sight too long.

He does NOT like that I’m rationing his food per the instructions in your booklet on feeding a cat that has been malnourished! He was under 5 pounds when I found him.

Your idea that he was afraid to cross the coyote zone makes perfect sense. And that garage is the direction I heard the coyotes the night he went missing.

Distant neighboors said he’d been in their garage at least 3 weeks. He doesn’t have any injuries that I could see (beyond being very thin) His claws are all intact. I didn’t check the pads of his feet, but I will when he next wakes up.

Kim, Thank you for your Lost Cat guides, your advice, and your encouragement throughout this stressful journey!

Lost Cat BACKGROUND:
Christmas time 12/26/2024 Thursday
Approx. time 5-6pm

Nothing unusual during the day, but I did hear coyotes howling close by that night when I went to the barn.

I live on a 10 acre hobby farm in a wooded area of the countryside and winter weather of SE Michigan on top of it. ... it’s been almost 4 weeks and the temps have been in single digits and/or below zero the past several days.

This morning there were fresh cat prints at the location I’d been focusing on. So today I moved the camera over to focus on the original location, after smoothing over the tracks. Photos of all the prints I saw yesterday- critter central.

I felt a lot more hopeful after talking with you last night and seeing all of the fresh cat prints today!

Thank you, LostCatFinder.com
