ALERT
Sawyer is missing, and I cannot bring myself to post, other than to ask everyone to pray for him and us.
We were supposed to remember and honor our dear friend, Timmy Tom Cat, today, but that will be postponed.
Social Media
ONE OF A KIND
I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.

Just so you know I am sharing every day on FB and Twitter and Instagram. I read on a pet recovery page that cats don’t go far and you need to turn voer every single stone and open every door.
DON’T GIVE UP.
Sawyer is most likely hiding somewhere in a neighbor’s yard.
Cats get so scared, they won’t even answer to their human’s voices.
Purring that you and he find a quick way to find each other again, and know that we all are praying for that to happen.
Hugs too.
We are still purring and purraying for Sawyer and you. Sending our best love to the Humans and the kitties. XOXOXO
Any news, my friends? I’m purrin’ up a storm for your safe return, Sawyer. PURRS
Praying for a miracle. My friend lost her kitty for a month and it was outside close by the whole time. So maybe your kitty is too.
OH, MERDE! I hope so much he is just out for a looksee and will be home soon. To go through this is a horror. I’m so sorry and we send you good thought that Sawyer will be home soon.
I am so sorry you’re living this nightmare. We are sending all of our purrs, woofs, prayers, and good thoughts for Sawyer’s safe return.
Oh, no! Best wishes, my dears.
We are all sending heartfelt purrs and prayers for Sawyer’s safe return. Hugs, prayers, hugs and more prayers.
Like all others, our prayers are with you and with Sawyer. Hoping beyond hope that the next thing I see on your site is a joyful reunion.
Praying for a speedy return. Hugs and prayers.
Sending all our energies to our Spirit World kitties to watch over Sawyer and help him find his way home.
We’re sending purrs, prayers, and good thoughts that Sawyer is found soon!
I’m so sorry to hear this! I hope Sawyer will be home safe and sound very soon.
Years ago our dear Tommie wandered off and was shut in a neighbor’s greenhouse for three long excruciating days while they were on vacation. If you haven’t, check garages and tool sheds in the area.
xxoo
We send continuing purrayers and lots of hugs your way.
Luvs ya’
Raena and Zebby
We are sending purrayers and as much Power of the Paw as we can – along with some Moose Magic (an elkhound thing). Sawyer, please come home !
Purrs and prayers that Sawyer comes home soon.
Big purrs for Sawyer to return home safe and sound.
Janet and Tom, we are heartsick over missing Sawyer, and have you all in our prayers for his safe return. Years ago, when Herman was around 2, he escaped into the five acres we sat on in Kentucky. He was gone all night, and I lost plenty of sleep. The next morning I dragged his cat tree, bedding, food, toys outside, both front and back. It took some time, but eventually Herm found us. I pray Sawyer is just having an adventure, and will return ASAP. Hugs, Kim
So sorry to hear this! Many purrs that Sawyer will come home soon!
Sending all our purrs and prayers. He probably has not gone far. Sooooooooo hoping he is found SOON. XOXOXO
We are so sorry to hear that Sawyer is missing. All of the Cat Scouts and their humans are purring and praying for Sawyers safe return.
Purrs and prayers for Sawyer’s safe return to home and love.
Along with hopes and prayers, we are wishing with all of our kitty power that Sawyer is found very, very, soon!
Purrs and prayers…

Purrs and prayers from all of us. Come on Sawyer, show yourself pal so you can get home. We all love you.
What a nightmare for you. I am so sorry this happened! I hope and pray he is near enough to scent his surrounding and find them familiar. I can’t think of a lot worse than what you are going through.
We know how heart wrenching it is to have a cat go missing. Our hearts are breaking for you. We have our paws crossed and are purring extra hard that he comes home soon.
Purraying for Sawyer’s safe and eminent return!!!

Oh, Janet, how my heart goes out to you. I’m praying so hard that little Sawyer will find his way home asap safe and sound.
Miss Janet, can you share this picture with me on Instagram, so I can post it there. I don’t know how to do it otherwise. Thank you in advance. Pawkisses full of strenghts🐾😽💞
There’s a “lost cat” detective, Kim Freeman, who makes a business out of finding lost cats. Here’s her website: https://www.lostcatfinder.com
Another website where you can post info about Sawyer:
https://www.lost-cat.org/en-us/
The gist of what I’ve read is that lost cats don’t usually go far from home but may be hiding in little places like under cars, etc. Post flyer every corner. You’ll see more from these sites.
Good luck for “Sawyer come back!”
May the Angels purrotect you and bring you home safely, sweet Sawyer🙏💗💗💗
You know I’m praying harder than I’ve ever prayed before that sweet Sawyer comes home or is helped by a kind neighbor to get back where he belongs. It has to be terrifying wondering if he’s alright. Sending huge hugs…..and hope….lots of hope.
Love, Pam
Oh no! We are so worried! How did this happen?
We are purring and purraying as hard as We can for his safw return!
Oh Janet, this is terrible news! I am praying for him and that you find him safe and well.
Oh no! Putting he’s found soon.
Oh no! My human and I are beside ourselves with worry too. I am purring as hard as I can for Sawyer to come home.
Purrs and prayers that Sawyer will come home soon
Sending purrs, love and prayers that he returns home soon, safe and sound.
I worked at an all feline veterinary clinic and this is the info we sent out to clients who have lost or found a cat. I hope you find it helpful.
These links are to sites that have good information on what to do if your cat is lost or if you find one, from making flyers to neighborhood message boards to finding lost pet trackers. I helped a friend with a search for her lost cat last year and she made up effective posters and did effective neighborhood searches with the help found on these links.
Making effective flyers and posters is the place to start. Remember, at a stop sign, a person has 5 seconds to read 5 words! Print out a bunch 8″x10″ color flyers (depending on your neighborhood, you might want to make a flyer that is bilingual) and use those to hand out to people you see on the street along with a a snack size ziploc bag of dry cat food and ask people with they would sprinkle some food on their porch in case your cat comes by looking to get in. People can also take a photo of the flyer with their phone so they have it with them at all times in case they see your cat. For homes where you find no one home, put your flyer and food baggie in a larger bag and hang over door knob.
lostdogsofamerica.org/driveway-drops-what-is-that/
For making posters, put that 8×10″ flyer on a large board/sign of weatherproof material like a piece of corrugated plastic poster board and put the flyer inside a clear plastic page protector and duct tape to the poster board. If you can find brightly colored plastic poster board, that’s great, but if all you can find is white, then get some of that neon colored duct tape to make the Lost Cat Sign stand out, by ‘framing’ it with the duct tape. If you read these instructions, you will make a sign that will work! Below is a great example!
