How to Find a Lost Cat
video search guide & ebooklet
Find your lost cat with new pet detective methods.
As a pet detective dedicated to lost cats only, I'm proud to day my Lost Cat Kit has led to missing cats found in 48 states and 24 countries worldwide.
That's thousands of lost cats back home Thanks to the "How to Find a Lost Cat" kit.
How? Because my experience and discoveries of new lost cat tips go way beyond the typical posting on social media, visiting shelters, shaking treats, Boosting ads, and putting out dirty cat litter.
The Lost Cat Kit is the result of 12 years of real-world pet detective experience. Based on lost cat science using tested strategies for each cat type, it's all condensed down to the essentials of how to find a lost cat– even after weeks of no sightings.
Every day, owners tell me how they found their cat after skimming my materials, wishing their shelter had told them about the Lost Cat Kit from the start.
For $50 you can get all my wisdom & advice I've created as a famous lost cat finder. Avoid the typical lost pet scams (page 34) and get your cat home within 24 hours. You just need to know which method to use for your cat type & situation.
Use the kit so you can be the next person emailing to say "I found my lost cat using your guide and video! Thanks for creating the Lost Cat Finder Kit!"

"Within 12 hours of getting my Lost Cat Kit my cat is home! I got rid of all the don'ts you mentioned and Ignored 4 non-confirmed sightings blocks away and waited. 3 hours later.....he's home and snuggling with best friend (Salmon our dog). In total gone... 6 days and 5 nights.
Thank you so much! Seriously your information! It had me going against everything everyone else was saying, but was the best thing I ever did.

Finn is found!! A kind person in the Austin lost & found pets group told me about your lost cat tips. I wish I had known this stuff sooner."
I will be recommending you every chance I get. And guess what? So many people told me to put out the kitty litter! Even the girl at the shelter. Plus I had three neighbors say "my cat was eaten by coyotes." Thank you for warning me about the mean comments and bad advice. I ignored them all and followed your steps!"

"Kim is a WIZARD at finding lost cats!"
I personally know many of Kim's amazing recoveries of lost cats.
Although a search dog can be a great tool, it is more critical that you get advice/counsel from someone like Kim who is trained in lost cat probabilities and behavior than to rush into hiring a pet detective with a search dog.
I've been in this business training search dogs to find lost pets since 1998, but if my cat were missing, I would hire Kim in a heartbeat. Check her out at Lost Cat Finder. If you have lost a cat, I strongly suggest her help.
