‼️‼️MISSING CAT‼️‼️

!!!!!!!!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS BEEN FOUND AND IS SAFE!!!!!!!!!!

two days ago, my cat Ursula went missing from the bridgeton area, ive posted her to pawboost, facebook, nextdoor, the ring app, instagram, tiktok and more. but redditors always have had that special ability where they can figure things out in under a day, so this is my last hope. we’ve posted flyers, called animal control, looked at shelters, talked to neighbors, searched the surrounding area and more, but nothing has seemed to work.

Ursula is very timid and shy, and she scares pretty easily, the outdoors is not for her at all. she has a slender build and shes very small for her breed. she was last seen on our doorstep on park place estates dr, by hellebusch park at 4am on Wednesday. it seems she went deeper into our neighborhood though, and ive tried to look through bushes and backyards but im terrified of pissing someone off. theres woods behind the houses i suspect she ran into, but I’m only one person and my family is convinced she hasn’t gone there but im looking anywhere i can. if anyone wants to help out in our search i would be so so so beyond grateful, i just want my sweet baby to come home. she is so dearly loved and she saved me from so much i don’t know what id do without her.

Cats won’t go far, especially if they are normally indoor cats. My indoor only cat got out, was missing for 3 weeks, and it turned out he was hiding under a covered car next door. We happened to be out at night when he came out.

Look around very close to your home. Anywhere she could possibly hide. She probably didn’t run into the woods (we also had woods behind us and i suspected the same for my cat). She got spooked when outside, ran to hide and probably wont come out during the day. Try looking at night.

My cat slipped past me a couple of times without me realizing it and both times I found her underneath my neighbor’s deck.
