I lost my cat Bingo on a Sunday. After exploring all my options, involving HomeAgain's service, I walked my neighborhood, attaching Lost Pet posters to posts within a 5 mile area and posting and handing out the posters door to door in my direct vicinity.

I was beginning to lose hope of ever finding my precious cat...but I kept putting flyers in areas I missed and continued to persevere. I was ecstatic when I received a call six days later that someone who had received my Lost Pet poster had found my cat. Within that same hour, I had received two more calls from neighbors who had seen my posted flyer and had information about my cat.

It’s important to not give up, and to exhaust all options. I had been on the phone with HomeAgain twice, ordered their premium service, visited shelters and posted signs. And thank goodness my work paid off. But most importantly it left me with such a good feeling that my nearby neighbors (who I had never met) went out of their way and did such a good deed by trying to help someone find a lost pet. It really makes you feel good inside. All along, I felt a sense of security that at least my pet was microchipped and even if she was far away or turned in to a shelter, vet, etc. there was a way to track her back to me.
