Pawareness Podcast # 8 │ Kim The Cat Detective - Lost Cat Finder

On this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, we welcome Kim the Cat Detective, whose focus has been on finding lost cats for the last 8 years. She also coaches people from a distance on finding their cats and has even found cats in 17 countries! Kim offers insight into the difference between finding lost dogs and finding lost cats and the biggest mistakes people make when trying to find their cat, touching on the problems with leaving your litter box out to try and attract them. She speaks on the ideal window of time to reach out to her and the chances of finding a cat months after it disappeared.

“For cats, 80% of what people are told to do is based on myths and superstition.” - Kim

Then, Kim talks about her cat Henry, who is trained to help her find other cats, and tells a miraculous story where Henry helped find a cat named Ruby. She has even created a special collar that prevents lost cats and prevents cats from killing birds. Kim also details a great way to get your cat back inside easily and what to do if you come across a cat that appears to be lost or if you saw one that you later find out is missing.

Being relentless is key! Tune in to learn more from Kim and to hear the story of Beans going missing!
