@petsearcherscanada: AFTER 4 WEEKS, JERRY HAS BEEN TRAPPED BY PETSEARCHERS!! This was definitely a unique case! Jerry and Kit, two indoor-only cats, moved to a new home back in July. The move was extremely stressful for them, and both cats became very anxious and ran into the basement to hide. Kit found a small hiding spot, while Jerry discovered a hole in the basement flooring and disappeared inside. Their owners tried everything to get them out, but after weeks of hiding, they knew they needed help. The cats were still coming out overnight to eat, drink and use the litter box, but would quickly retreat back into hiding whenever anyone was around. Parker came out to assess the situation and set up a humane trap for Jerry. When he arrived, Kit was actually in an area where he could reach her. Because she was extremely anxious and defensive, Parker put on his thick bite-proof gloves and was able to safely get Kit into a carrier. She was then brought upstairs to a quiet room where she could decompress. Now it was time to focus on Jerry. The trap was set, but Jerry didn’t make things easy! For several days, there was no sign of her. Eventually, she appeared and ate just the tiny amount of food placed at the very front of the trap before disappearing back into the floor. So we changed the strategy. The food was slowly moved farther and farther into the trap. Each time Jerry appeared, she would venture a little farther inside. Day by day, she became more comfortable. Finally, after FOUR WEEKS of hiding inside the flooring, Jerry went far enough into the trap to trigger it. CAUGHT! Jerry was finally safe and could be reunited with Kit, where both girls could begin decompressing in a quiet environment. Jerry is still very skittish and anxious, and she will be seeing her veterinarian to discuss medication to help her through this transition. Kit, thankfully, is already doing much better. It will take some time, patience and plenty of reassurance, but we’re confident Jerry will be back to her happy self. We’re so glad we could help bring these sweet girls home. Welcome home, Jerry and Kit! #petsearcherscanada #reunited #fyp #lostcat #homesafe
