GORDIE IS HOME SAFE AFTER 6 DAYS!!!

From owner: ”I highly recommend Parker with Pet Searchers! He was very kind and helpful. He was able to catch my cat promptly!”

A little back story on this guy. Gordie has always been an indoor cat at home. Unfortunately when we had the flooding rain, his owners home also flooded, so they had to relocate to a hotel. Gordie had to stay at a friend’s and accidentally escaped.

A different search group had reached out to Gordie’s owner and offered their help, and had a trap set for a couple days with no luck, however he was spotted one of the nights on camera.

She contacted Parker at Petsearchers for some help and he got out there right away. Although Gordie hadn’t been seen in a couple of days, Parker assured her everything will be okay and that we will get her cat back! Parker set one of their bigger cat traps for Gordie, as we didn’t want him to have to squeeze into a normal size one. He went right in overnight without thinking twice, and Parker phoned his owner at 4am to deliver the great news. She was ecstatic to say the least that Gordie was trapped and safe at last. He’s home now, getting lots of cuddles and catching up on sleep.

We are happy to have been able to help get her cat home safe! Stay safe, Gordie!!

When a pet goes missing, the stress and worry can be overwhelming. We’re so thankful to have been able to help this family during a difficult time and are touched by their kind words. Here’s a review from a client who was able to reunite with their cat, thanks to some guidance and support:

"Last Friday, our beloved semi-outdoor family cat didn't come home, and we were incredibly worried. After 48 hours of stress and anxiety, I desperately sent an email to Petsearchers late Sunday evening, hoping for help. To my surprise and relief, Parker from Petsearchers responded within about four hours, expressing sympathy for our situation and mentioning that he would call me soon to discuss it further.

True to his word, Parker called me Monday afternoon. During our conversation, he provided us with invaluable advice on what steps we could take to help bring our cat back home. My husband and I diligently followed Parker's recommendations. Remarkably, our cat returned home safely on Tuesday afternoon, within just 24 hours of our call with Parker.

We are beyond grateful to Parker and the team at Petsearchers for their prompt, compassionate, and effective assistance. Their support and expert guidance made all the difference in reuniting us with our furry family member. We highly recommend Petsearchers to anyone in a similar situation. Their dedication and professionalism are truly exceptional. Thank you, Parker, and thank you, Petsearchers!"

It’s always such a relief to see pets reunited with their families. We’re glad to have been a part of this happy ending and are happy that you’re home!

NYX IS HOME SAFE AFTER 12 DAYS!!!

Nyx, a former rescued kitty, accidentally escaped on October 21 while being watched while her owners were away in Australia. They didn’t find out until they returned a couple days ago and immediately contacted Petsearchers. Parker reached out and went over the best plan to get Nyx back home safe. She had been seen a few days ago in a couple different spots around a neighborhood nearby her home in Port Coquitlam and so some traps and cameras were placed in areas she was likely to be. She was sighted today in the same neighborhood and we got a trap set right away. Within minutes she came around to check out the trap, and within a few hours she took the bait. She was trapped and is now back home safe and sound!! We’re so glad you’re home, Nyx!

KARLEY IS SAFE AFTER MISSING IN CENTRAL PARK!!!

Parker and Al at Petsearchers were called late last night on a missing Shiba rescue dog that got hit by a car and ran into Burnaby Central Park. We responded immediately as this is a very dangerous park for a pet to be lost in. We deployed both our thermal drones as well as used our hand held thermal imaging units throughout the park last night, but unfortunately couldn’t spot any sign of her throughout the big park. We went back first thing this morning to continue the search using our drones again and she came running out of the woods! She will be checked at a vet, but seems to be totally fine! A huge sigh of relief from her owners that she’s home safe and survived the night in Central Park. We’re so happy you’re home, Karley!

CLEO IS HOME SAFE AFTER 8 DAYS MISSING!!!

Cleo, an indoor cat, escaped out a window 8 days ago. She had never been outside before, so was extremely terrified. Cleo’s owner managed to locate her after the first night, but she wouldn’t let her catch her and ran off. This happened quite a few times over the past 8 days, she kept spotting Cleo, but she wouldn’t allow herself to be caught. This is such a defeating feeling, but is common as indoors are running on survival instincts and the way they protect themselves is by running and hiding from any and everyone! No matter how bonded one is with their cat. Parker at Petsearchers was called as Cleo’s owner was beginning to lose hope that she’ll never be able to catch her. Parker went over the best option for her and got traps and cameras set at high probable areas around the complex. We saw her on camera within a couple hours, and later in the night she went into one of the traps! She’s home safe again, and her owner is over the moon! Perfect time before the weather turns this weekend. Stay safe, Cleo!

UPDATE ON FAITH, THE MINI AUSSIE WE CAUGHT AFTER 19 DAYS!!

It’s been just about 3 months since Parker and Al caught Faith, a mini Aussie who ran all throughout North Vancouver for 19 days. We finally managed to trap her along the Capilano River! We love hearing updates on pets we’ve rescued and how they’re doing since being back home.

Faith’s owner provided us with a quick update and some photos of what she’s been up to!
Faith and her owner have created a special bond since being back home, lots of trust has been gained. She’s still skittish around strangers and other dogs, and loves to use her unique bark when someone’s knocking at the door. She said Faith has learned to play ball, and is obsessed with it! It’s something they do very often and brings her out of her shell! She loves to hangout with her other household dog Jake, but she tries to boss him around! Faith is continuing to adapt to her new life, and looks to be thriving. We’re so glad to have brought her home! Stay safe, Faith!

MEEKU IS HOME SAFE AFTER 10 DAYS MISSING!!!

Parker at Petsearchers was called to help search for Meeku, an indoor/ outdoor cat who went out one night and never returned. He was missing for a few days when Parker conducted a search with Hunter. They ruled out if something bad happened, as no evidence was found which they can generally find. There was a small area with scent not far from Meeku’s house, meaning he was likely spooked by something, and just not wanting to come home. Meeku’s owners followed some tips to help lead and get Meeku to come in the direction of home, and he did just that! He’s back home safe and sound!

From owner:
“Thank you to Parker for helping us find our cat Meeku! We reached out to PetSearchers when our indoor/outdoor cat didn’t return home for over 3 days. Parker conducted a search the next day and gave us helpful tips on how to bring him home. Thanks to his expert advice, Meeku returned home on day 10! We are so happy we contacted PetSearchers and would highly recommend them to anyone searching for their lost pets!!”

LEO HAS BEEN TRAPPED BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 11 DAYS!!!

Leo, an indoor cat, accidentally got out 11 days ago. He was spotted for the first couple of days but couldn’t be caught, and he eventually disappeared. After many searches done by his owner to no avail, Parker at Petsearchers was called. He went over the best plan to catch him, and some traps and camera’s were set up for him. He made an appearance a couple nights ago, and last night he was finally caught! Today was the day his owner moves from Coquitlam where he went missing, to Abbotsford, so it was perfect timing. Lots of happy tears were had, and he’s back home, cuddling and safe again!

KIBU IS SAFE AFTER MISSING IN PITT MEADOWS!!!

Earlier this past week we assisted in finding and safely bringing home Kibu, a former rescue dog, who ran out the front door of a house in Pitt Meadows.

From owners:
“Parker was very good with communicating with us and was very quick to respond. When we met up with him, he gave us a proper briefing on the do's and dont's of pursuing our dog who escaped. He was kind, calm, and professional, and had several plans lined up depending on the situation and was ready to pivot should the circumstances need it.

After getting to know us and our dog, he explained really well what each situation would need. He also discussed when it would be necessary to pull out thermal cameras, drones, and the bloodhound.

We highly recommend PetSearchers Canada to anyone who lost their pets. They are responsive and have the proper knowledge and equipment to do the job.”

He was in an open backyard that went into a huge farmland area, but with some proper coaxing methods he was safely secured instead of fleeing into farmland. He’s back home and happy as can be! Stay safe, Kibu!!

5 MONTH OLD KITTEN CAUGHT BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 2 DAYS MISSING!!

Spook, a 5 month old kitten, accidentally got out when his owners let their dog out. They noticed pretty quick and immediately started searching for him outside, but in a townhouse complex in Pitt Meadows, there were so many hiding spots for this small guy to hide. Spook is very skittish, hence his name, so it was likely he found a good hiding spot to curl up in. Parker at Petsearchers was called the next day, and wanting to be cautious with scaring him with the bloodhound he opted to set a trap and camera for when Spook decides to get up out of hiding. We were able to trap him overnight! He’s back home safe and everyone is so relieved! You can see in the back right of the one pic walking by the trap, and the trap closed in the other pic with him in it. Stay safe, Spook!

MAX HAS BEEN CAUGHT BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 2 NIGHTS IN COLONY FARMS!!!

We got a sighting of Max this morning by the Park Rangers close to where he went missing, but he ran into one of the fields that had shoulder height grass. As a small dog, it was almost impossible to spot him in there. Thankfully, our drone spotted a small dot of heat coming from a heavily bushed area. We searched it twice and finally caught sight of him, as you can see by the one photo he blends right in! Almost invisible! We had his exit routes covered thanks to the Park Rangers assistance, in case he tried to run. We were able to successfully get him secure using our catch pole, and get him in our truck and out this dangerous area. He’s a lucky boy, while searching for him in the bush this morning, 100m away from where he was hiding there were 2 coyotes. Luckily he hunkered down and let us save him. Stay safe, Max!

HARLEY HAS BEEN LOCATED BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 5 DAYS!!

Yesterday we came across a video posted on one of the local lost pet pages that instantly touched our hearts. The video was of a missing cat calling out for his owners in a wooded area, and they had been searching high and low for days and couldn’t find where it was coming from.

Parker got in contact with Harley’s owners and offered to volunteer his time to go out and try and locate him for them. It turned out his owners were only visiting for a week and needed to find him quick, and also didn’t know if he was injured or stuck up a tree.

Parker was quickly able to locate him by picking up his body heat with our thermal drone. He was 100ft up a tree! You can see in the one video the body heat that we look for when looking for a pet on our drone, and the second video you can see Harley sitting in the tree. His owners were ecstatic to know where he was! An arborist was called and he was down and safe hours later!! We’re so glad to have been able to assist in locating Harley!

SEOL-TANG HAS BEEN CAUGHT BY PETSEARCHERS!!

It’s been a busy morning! Petsearchers got a call early this morning that Seol-tang had been seen back at her new owners house hiding along some bushes! Parker and Al rushed out there, and quickly made a battle plan on how we are going to safely secure her without her escaping. We had her exit routes covered and were able to get her in our nets! Once she got inside, she was back to herself. She has already bonded with her new owners and is running around the house. We’re so glad she’s back home safe, and is going to have an opportunity at a better life here in Canada! Stay safe, Seol-tang!

TESSA HAS BEEN CAUGHT BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 6 DAYS!!!

Tessa escaped the house after the owners property was broken into, and while they were fixing the damages she managed to get out. She was seen back at the house, but after numerous attempts to coax her by her owners didn’t work, and she wouldn’t enter through an open door, Parker at Petsearchers was called. He went over the best plan to catch her, and came out and set traps and cameras. It took a couple nights for her to get comfortable with the trap, but she did! We trapped her, and she is now home safe again after 6 long days!!

YUMMI HAS BEEN CAUGHT AFTER 6 DAYS!

We’re behind in our found cat posts lately, but Yummi has been found safe on Friday! Parker and Hunter at Petsearchers were out and tracked him to a nearby apartment complex, where then posters were handed out. Some sightings came from the complex and trap and cameras were set! In the end he decided to come to his name being called by his owners, but we are glad to have been able to confirm the areas he was and wasn’t, and help the owners narrow in on where to be searching. Hunter has been doing this for almost 6 years now, and has helped us save hundreds and hundreds of pets. He never ceases to amaze us at how strong and accurate his nose is! We’re so glad Yummi is home and safe!

VANCOUVER: HAVE YOU SEEN YUMMI (aka DUODUO)???
YUMMI: Male Ragdoll cat is missing in Vancouver from 764 West 46th Ave
Since August 30, 2024. Yummi is neutered, and he is very shy. He is bicolor ragdoll with white and light brown. has brown marking at right bottom corner of his mouth, white chain and chest and brown body and tail.

MIHO IS HOME AFTER MISSING FOR 8 DAYS!!

Miho, an indoor cat, escaped out of the house last Thursday in Langley. After many searches done by his owners to no avail, Parker at Petsearchers was called on Wednesday, 6 days after he had gone missing. After doing a search with Hunter, it was determined only a handful of houses had scent of Miho. Traps were set as that’s generally the safest and best way to catch these scared cats. Last night he was safely trapped, and is now back home again! Stay safe, Miho!

LOKI HAS BEEN TRAPPED BY PETSEARCHERS AFTER 47 DAYS!!

Loki, an indoor cat who went missing while out on a walk in Vancouver, has finally been trapped by Parker at Petsearchers! We started this search the first day he went missing, doing a search with Hunter and narrowing down the area he was. We then set some traps and cams for him and got a pic of him the first night. Oddly enough he then disappeared and wasn’t seen in that area again.

Loki ended up moving over a block to a new area that he felt comfortable in. Over the past 3 weeks we figured out his routine, and he would regularly visit an empty abandoned lot. We tried many different methods to try and get him, but he was very trap smart and wanted to be careful to not scare him out of the area. We tried our normal traps, wooden traps, and even a rabbit hatch trap that his owners had found. He was very trap smart and he wasn’t interested in going near any of these.

Earlier this week Parker brought one of their custom made large dog traps, and with the door being kept open, we started to place food in the front of the trap. He would finally poke his head in the trap to eat a bit of the food. Over this week, the food was moved further and further back into the trap, and he finally would go in to the very back to eat the food.

We had the trap set in the abandoned lot, and a string tied to the door that we would have to pull for the door to shut, and had a hiding spot just outside the lot. Last night he was finally trapped!! The plan worked! It’s not often we have to use one of our large dog traps on a cat and manually trigger the trap, but we’re happy to have been able to offer this and be able to catch him in the end. What a smart boy, now go get some rest Loki!

CATSANOVA HAS BEEN CAUGHT AFTER 6+ WEEKS WITH THE HELP OF PETSEARCHERS AND VOKRA!!!

From owner:
“Petsearchers helped me through what I thought was an impossible situation. On June 13, 2024, my cat Catsanova was chased by crows on the edge of Vancouver’s Stanley Park and wriggled free from his harness and bolted. I was completely devastated and figured I’d never be able to find him.

Parker and his dog Hunter came out to search a few days later. Even after several days of rain, Parker came back to me with a map of where Catsanova had likely been. This was a breakthrough for me as it reduced the area where I was searching to something far more manageable. Parker also put up a few large posters and gave me more to put up myself.

The posters worked: a few days passed and we had a confirmed sighting pretty much in the middle of the map Parker had provided! The next day I actually saw my cat very early in the morning in the same spot as the tip provided. He was hiding in a fenced-in daycare.

Catsanova was a prior stray, and had quite the set of survival skills and was a super cautious cat, so I knew It might take a while to trap him. There were many challenges due to private property, raccoons, skunks, and everything else that goes on at the edge of a public park, but Parker continued to support and educate me the entire time. Many times when I felt I couldn’t continue because I hadn't seen Catsanova for a few days, he simply kept positive and had even more ideas to think about.

We ended up trying a wooden trap from VOKRA, and it finally worked 6+ weeks later! Parker remained supportive and incredibly helpful the entire time. He even helped me communicate with all of the various folks and organizations assisting. He was a crucial part of what became a team effort. Most importantly, he really helped me to not give up and bring Catsanova home.

I’m astounded and incredibly grateful. Hunter was amazing, and Parker has been a wonderful leader through this all. Petsearchers has my humble thanks and endless gratitude.”

We’re so happy he is finally home safe!

SPOOKY HAS BEEN TRAPPED BY PETSEARCHERS!

SPOOKY HAS BEEN CAUGHT BY PETSEARCHERS!! Spooky, a 13 year old indoor cat snuck out the door on Saturday night in Coquitlam. After countless searches by his owners to no avail, Parker at Petsearchers was called. We knew with all this rain that he was going to be close, and instead of risking spooking him further from home searching yards with our bloodhounds, we set up some traps in areas he would likely return to. We trapped him! He’s back home safe and sound! From owner: “We are so happy to have our cat Spooky back! Thanks for your professionalism and knowledge.” The video is moments before the trap closed behind him! You can see how cautious cats are before entering. *pic of Spooky back at home in the comments!*

Bobby has been caught by Parker at Petsearchers!!

Bobby has been caught by Parker at Peatsearchers!!! Bobby, a 15 year old cat, fell from the third story of a building 4 nights ago in South Surrey. After many search attempts by his owner and no sightings being reported, Parker was called. He went out and set up a trap in the area he was most likely going to return to. He was safely trapped overnight and is totally fine. He’s happy to be back home and is back to his usual self! *there’s 2 videos combined here, about 15 seconds in you see just as the trap door closes on him! See comments for a pic of him at home!

Our Thermal Drone in use!

Thermal Drone in use! Our Thermal Drone is an important tool we use when locating and following missing pets in wooded or farm areas. Instead of being on foot and potentially spooking the animal, which could drive it further into a dense/vast area, using a drone allows us to follow its tracks without causing panic. Thermal imaging allows us to see through thick tree layers and it picks up body heat from the animal. The first bit of the video here is Kiwi checking out our trap (we ended up catching her a different way in the end). The second half of the video is our thermal mode and shows how we could follow her through the thick wooded area she was hiding in (we wouldn’t have been able to use a normal drone here). This allowed us to ensure she didn’t leave the woods and helped us know what path she frequented, so we could strategically place traps!
