I need your help!!!
Friends, followers, ALL ANIMAL LOVERS.

Nicky was my case two months ago. We went out to look for him but we had so many obstacles we couldn’t fly bc of an air port and out of the 20 something doors I knocked on to get permission to search the property I was turned down by 90% of them making my chances for success down to the 5%. It absolutely broke my heart that this area did not care. Fast forward to now Nicky was found likley trapped in a shed or basement we aren’t really sure but he is skin and bones he has blindness from starvation syndrome and showing neuro signs, he’s anemic and first transfusion is not taking well, and severe organ damage. He is fighting for his life. His owner has already paid what she could but he has to stay longer so the bill is going a lot higher now. I want to do everything i can do help including donating myself to his recovery fund. And if you animal lovers can help to I’d greatly appreciate it. Nicky deserves a fighting chance!!

I will make updates to Nicky’s condition in the comments as I receive them.

My name is Sam. I own a tracking company for lost pets. We went out to look for Nic… Sam Jane needs your support for Help Nicky Recover from Severe Starvation

Any of you out there like myself who feed a feral cat colony always worries when one disappears. Now I’m talking about cats that do not care to be domesticated or “owned”.

I’ve been feeding for roughly 8 years and I have a camera on my food bowl so I can see what’s going on, is any of them missing, newbies or maybe injured.

Speidi has been at my feed station for roughly 6 and a half years. She went missing for the first time in April. I did my normal looking around, flying the drone on several occasions day and night and hung up posters and utilized game cameras to try and generate my own sightings, no I did not use a dog to help me find her because I don’t have a scent item as she lives outside. But this all lead me no where until yesterday. She came back to my food dish after 7 months gone. Point of the story here is never give up. Cats are super resilient and more people give up the search because they have no evidence of the cat but cats are truley remarkable animals and have survival skills that amaze me.

Tara went missing one week ago. The family tried all the basic steps on their own to find the cat like setting up cameras and traps and walking around the neighborhood at night with no success. They decided to hire us for more help. I came out there and flew the drone around for a few hours with no luck. The owners told me there is a pipe in the back yard for drainage but they didn’t see the cat. I went over there and obviously did not see it either but I don’t care if I physically see a cat or not I look for evidence and go from there so I did see his fur on the rim of the tube. So I proceeded to see where this drain went to. And it was the street man hole. I said to the owner let’s just open it so we got a crow bar and lifted the grate and there she was! Better yet hanging out down there with a skunk! After about an hour I went in there and got the cat. And of course I could never close the grate and leave a trapped skunk so I did go in and grab the skunk and brought him up to, he sprayed down there and I do smell like a skunk 😂 but I’m glad both cat and skunk will not die in there now. 🦨🐈

We want to welcome home bean from seekonk! Missing for almost a week. His family was super dedicated to getting him home. I mean boots to the ground at all hours of the day and night! Thicket bushes or swamps they went into all of it! We finally caught him on camera and gave him two options. A trap with his favorite food or walk back inside. He decided walking back in was the right fit for him. And we are so glad he did!

Prince Harry is home safe after a month on the loose. An indoor only cat Prince snuck out. His owner hired us to help find him but nore my dogs or drone could locate Prince Harry. We set up cameras in several different locations but none caught a glimpse of him. Until a few days ago. He was seen back in the yard he left from and ran under the deck. His owner tried to coax him out but he wasn’t having it. I asked her to barricade him under there with anything you can find around your yard so at least we know where he is. After a day of being stuck in there Prince Harry said enough was enough I’m ready to come home. 🏠 now he is safe and sound inside again.

We want to welcome Dubi home!

He went missing from the car 6 days ago. The owners hired us to come on site and begin the search as there efforts had not gotten anywhere. K9 Mildred was assigned to the case and verified high odor in a massive rock pile in the woods. Due to the tunnel system and danger of putting a 100lb dog on these rocks I opted to just set up a cell cam at the bottom and wait. Hours later he showed up on camera. From there we put out a good size trap but he did not go in. So we tried a smaller trap that was covered and had five guys burgers in there and decided he was ready to come home. 😻

We also want to welcome home Asti from west Warwick!

He was peeing blood and the owners were trying to get Asti a semi feral in a room so they can safely get him in a carrier to the vet. But he had other plans when he saw the carrier. He decided to climb walls and rip the screen to the window on to the roof and jump to the ground and take off.

Trying to locate a semi feral isn’t always the easiest task nore is catching one. But after a month of back and forth ideas and strategies we finally caught the elusive Asti.

He was caught at 1am. And immediately in the trap taken to the emergency room to be seen by a vetrinarian. He has received a clean bill of health aside from weight loss and ticks.

Cat in a cave in Cumberland is home safe. We did not locate this cat. The owner called us because he had already located his cat in the cave and had been trying for 2 days to get him out and asked us for help, he had been missing for one month. We came out jumped in the water and came up with a plan for the recovery. We also had Roto-Rooter come out to confirm the cat wasn’t stuck as this was a bit of a concern. He is home and safe after a few days of stubbornness.

Koin news interview about Harper and the book daisys near catastrophe. I was suppose to join this interview in Oregon but because it was only a few days after Harper’s passing I decided it wasn’t best to talk about Harper on live television, I wasn’t in a good emotional state at the time .

I loved the interview and keeping Harper’s name alive in this story. If anyone is interested in purchasing the book it is linked on my website through Amazon. Some of the proceeds go to 2 organizations one that helps children with service dogs and a disaster recovery team for dogs. I couldn’t be more proud of this both for Harpers legacy to live on but to also inspire children and help other dogs that have a job to do.
