Please check your garage, shed and basement

Bear never stayed away from home for more than about two hours. Being gone this long means something is keeping him from coming back, and cats that get shut in somewhere usually stay quiet.

  • Garages and sheds, behind boxes and under shelves
  • Basements, crawl spaces and window wells
  • Under decks, porches and parked cars
  • Any doorbell or yard camera footage from Nov 4 on

If you live north of N Congress Ave & NW 70th St, near NW Country Circle or North Congress Playground, please look today.

From his GPS tracker

Where Bear goes

Bear wore a GPS collar through October. Swipe through to see his usual routes, the times he's out, and his last few days of data before he went missing.

If you see him

  1. Call or text right away. Say where and when, and send a photo if you can, even if you're not sure it's him.
  2. Don't chase him. Crouch down and talk softly. He's friendly and usually comes over.
  3. If he comes to you, bring him inside or into a closed garage, offer a little water and food, and let us know.
  4. If he's in your garage or shed, keep the door shut so he stays put, and call us. Any vet or shelter can scan his microchip for free.

Photos of Bear
