Your cat is missing. Take a deep breath. Finding Your Lost Cat: The Practical Cat-Specific Guide for Your Happy Reunion to the rescue. This book tells you exactly what to do and when to do it in order to find your feline friend.
While there are dozens of books about locating a lost pet, cat behavior expert Dusty Rainbolt cuts through the clutter. She uses scientific research to help determine which cat-specific strategies work for your situation and how to implement them most effectively.
With more than 30 years of experience in cat rescue and pet journalism, Rainbolt teams up with other experts in the fields of pet recovery and advertising, as well as cat parents who persevered to bring you this comprehensive guide. Rainbolt's light touch and trademark humor makes this difficult topic easier to digest. Inside you'll discover:
* There's no one-size-fits-all approach
* Search techniques for cats differ from dogs
* Lost cat behavior
* Best search strategies for housecats vs. outdoor cats
* Effective lost cat signs and where to post them
Cat recovery statistics are depressing. According to the American Humane Association, one in three pets go missing at some point in their lives, and cats have a much poorer chance of returning home than dogs. However, Finding Your Lost Cat offers a step-by-step plan of action to find your cat. Get this book, start your search, and most importantly, never give up!

When “America’s Veterinarian” Dr. Marty Becker writes the forward to a book, you know you can trust what you are about to read. That is definitely true of Dusty Rainbolt’s how-to manual, FINDING YOUR LOST CAT. As a cat writer, shelter volunteer, and all around cat person, I’m often confronted by people who have lost their cat. Whether kitty is an indoor cat who accidentally got out or an outdoor cat who hasn’t made it home, the concern, worry, and fear that goes through our minds is the same. The first question most of us ask is, “What do I do now?”
Rainbolt gently guides us through the steps we must take for the optimum outcome. Though utterly serious about this heartbreaking subject, she still manages to inject a bit of relevant humor so the reading is anything but dry.
Though we hope our cat will be found quickly, this is not always the case. Employing a motto borrowed from one of my favorite movies, Galaxy Quest, “Never give up. Never Surrender,” Rainbolt cites all the reasons to keep on searching, no matter how long it takes.
FINDING YOUR LOST CAT gives us step by step instructions for all aspects of the search, including who to contact, where to look, and how to get the word out. But it’s not just about what to do once your cat is lost; Rainbolt also tells us what we can do to minimize the possibility of loss in the first place. She goes into the feline mind in the chapter, Lost Cat Behavior. And a bonus is the part on what to do if you’re the one to find a stray cat.
FINDING YOUR LOST CAT by Dusty Rainbolt is a book to own, to read, and then to keep, hoping you will never need to use it.
