Welcome back Scruffy, 11 days!!

Handsome boy Scruffy is a stray kitty that has been hanging around a business in Lillington NC. The associates there started feeding him, plus the other stray cats, then it turned into a full blown TNVR project! They got them trapped, fixed, vaccinated, made warm houses for them and continued to feed them.
Scruffy is quite friendly though and when Katina noticed something wasn't right with his ear, she scooped him up and off to the vet. Turns out Scruffy has ear mites and a ruptured hematoma so he would need more personal care and meds. Katina took him home and he was living on her back porch while she was caring for him.
One day when Katina was bringing something onto the porch, Scruffy took the chance to waltz out the door. Katina followed him for a short distance, trying to get him to come to her, before deciding to go back to the house to get some food and see if he would come to her for that. Unfortunately by the time she got back outside Scruffy was nowhere to be seen!
Katina had a lost cat before that I had helped with, so she knew all the right things to get started. She contacted me the next day and we set up a time to track if Scruffy wasn't showing back up.
On Friday Kiyaya and I were out to help. Kiyaya very quickly followed Scruffy's original trail but instead of going into the woods like he had she looped around the yard, down the driveway and across the street! Ironically taking us to a barn where Katina's other lost cat had ended up! From there we went a short distance to a pond and Kiyaya was done. Cameras and scent stations were set up at the pond, barn and home. Katina did a phenomenal job scent luring and just two days later there was Scruffy, back at her house! Since Scruffy had been trapped before we were not sure how he would react to it again but we gave it a go. Scruffy avoided the trap and didn't even come by one night. Katina went out there several times to try to get Scruffy to come to her but he would just sit a few feet away and watch her. We decided to try to lure him back onto the porch he escaped from and Katina would just close the door. BOOM, that worked and Scruffy is safe once again!!
Scruffy is a super chill fella and his funky ear just gives him that much more charm. He is FIV+ so after he completes his ear mites treatment, he'll be looking for a WONDERFUL new home. If you know someone who is interested please contact us 💜🐾

In honor of National Black Cat Day today, here are some facts about black cats ...

1. Eyes 👀 of gold! While cat’s eyes come in a wide range of hues, the vast majority of black cats have yellow or golden eyes. This striking contrast adds an air of mystery to these precious creatures!

2. One in 2️⃣2️⃣! Twenty-two cat breeds can come with solid black coats, but the Bombay is the only cat breed that is exclusively black, from whiskers to toe beans.

3. Resistant to disease! Some studies show that black cats may have certain genetic mutations that make them less susceptible to some diseases.

4. Imposters dressed in black! Look at their solid black coats in the sunlight, and you may see faint stripes within the fur. Although black is genetically dominant as a fur color, the famous tabby pattern is the genetically dominant fur pattern, making these stripes “hidden” under the black coloring.

5. The yin to the yang of the cat world ☯️! Black cats are good-natured, known for being easy-going and calm. They are also very savvy, intelligent, and vigilant. They are as observant as they are faithful. In the cat world, they represent the quieter, more introspective side of feline nature.

This morning Kiyaya was paws on the ground to track this sweet old fella. Somehow senior pup Tucker, who is also deaf, escaped his grandparents house last Thursday and has yet to be found.
Frustratingly enough three people in the neighborhood saw him that evening, one even rode around with him in the car, but no one did the right things to figure out where he belonged and just put him back out on the street 😭
Ki took us in a different direction from all that and to another busy area, S. Powell Avenue in Dunn NC.

Please share and be on the lookout for Tucker. His family misses him terribly and I'm sure he's ready to go home to his warm bed.

If you find a roaming pet, "THINK LOST, NOT STRAY OR ABANDONED" and do the right things to find that pet's owner!!

Fayetteville NC, if you are near the rest stop off 95 in Cumberland County please keep an eye out for CatchMouse. We could really use some flyers passed out and posters hung up too (contact me for more details).
He's pretty skittish so don't try to catch him, just immediately report sightings.
We're sure this senior kitty is missing his Mama and we know she's missing him!

Welcome home Midnight, 5 days!

Beautiful kitty Midnight snuck out of his house one night while the owners were letting their dogs out. Midnight had been known to occasionally do this and spend the night outside BUT he was always back the next morning, ready to come in to eat breakfast. When he didn't show up the next morning, his fur parents were immediately worried and spent hours searching/talking to the few neighbors they have. But no signs of Midnight anywhere.
They contacted me on day two of him going missing and we started the usual recovery protocols. The biggest concern was they live in a rural area of NC with known Coyote activity and Midnight is a senior kitty that's also declawed. The owners got to work and we went ahead and discussed tracking due to the concerns of him being defenseless and lost.
The owners got a camera set up and started scent luring home, a few kitties showed up-thankfully no coyotes-but still no Midnight.
But before we could even get a track scheduled, I got my favorite kind of message, he was home!! One morning at about 2am, he strolled right up to the house like nothing had happened 🤦🏻‍♀️. Luckily one of his fur parents was up watching the camera and was able to go out to get him!!
Midnight is doing fine and is now grounded from ever going back outside lol.

North Carolina friends please keep an eye out for Lucky! 💙🐾

⚠️INTERSTATE 95 AREA OF NC⚠️
$5000 REWARD— SUSPECT IN A CARJACKING DUMPED THE VICTIMS BELOVED 10 YEAR OLD DOG, “LUCKY”

SUSPECT CLAIMS he dumped lucky at a Rest Area on Interstate 95 at either the 99 Mile Marker or 48 Mile Marker or possibly the 5 Mile Marker in NORTH CAROLINA

Lucky belongs to an 87 year old veteran who is undergoing radiation treatment and had gotten the dog from his son who died in 2020 from a medical condition. Lucky is his best friend.

Lucky was taken when the 87 year old went to Tractor Supply in Mt Pleasant PA and when he exited the vehicle KENNETH CRIDER from MD approached the vehicle and forcibly took the keys and took off with the vehicle with Lucky inside. CRIDER went to Myrtle Beach SC in the stolen vehicle and then was arrested on his way back North when he led deputies on a chase in NC on Interstate 95 from the 141 mile marker to the 180 mile marker when he crashed.

When he was apprehended the dog was not in the vehicle.

When questioned, he advised deputies that he dropped Lucky off at a Rest Area on Interstate 95 on his way back up into NC. He thinks it was the Rest Area at the 99 mile marker or the 48 mile marker. But could possibly be the 5 mile marker.

Family and Friends are offering a reward of $5000 for the safe return of Lucky.

Lucky had a black collar on with a flea collar that was zip tied to it. (Could have been removed) He is chipped.

Keep your eyes open and pass along.

I recommend a martingale collar, or harness, ALWAYS 🙌🏻

TIP - Use a martingale collar to prevent your dog from slipping out of his/her collar. For added security (shy/timid dogs), use the martingale with a front ring harness. You can also use a carabiner, coupler or two leashes if the harness and coupler cannot be attached together with the leash alone. Make sure both the harness and collar have ID tags.
