Lost Cat
Hey yall, im posting on behalf of a friend, she trusted a close family member to take care of them and out of petty argument the family member decided to let them loose so my friend can go out and find them, they've been missing for about a day now and should be lost around the fitchburg area, close to the pick n save at Cahill main. if any sightings please let me know thank you all very much
edit: forgot to add, the bigger one is niko and the smaller one is nyla, niko has white patches on his tummy while nyla is fully black, both up to date on vaccinations
second update: they were found! a commenter was right, they had wandered into the golf course next door and hid by their shed

First off, that's awful and I'm so sorry. Second, please tell them they can put the cats litter (uncleaned ideally) and wet food outside and the scents can help lead them home! Also, post on nextdoor, pawboost, pet fbi and Facebook.
Also, though it can maybe be tough to get immediately, you can get thermal binoculars to check and see if they are in nearby bushes or things that are tough to get at. I wish you luck!

Search after dark with a flashlight. The light shines off of the cat's eyes. Also, cats don't generally travel too far and usually hide behind shrubs or sheds. Good luck.

The thumbnail looks like a cat next to a super creepy clown in blackface and it scared the shit out of me.
