Getting Lost Cats Back home | Kimberley Freeman | 2022 Return to Home Day

Getting Lost Cats Back home + preventing them from ending up at Shelters
Every day, hundreds of cats go missing. Unfortunately, only a small number of them are found. This is partly because people follow outdated advice, then give up too soon when it doesn't work. The result? Millions of unfound cats end up at overcrowded shelters.

This session tackles how to stop the cycle and get more cats back home through best practices in lost cat recovery and supporting cat owners. Whether you work at a shelter, a rescue group or you’re a local TNR advocate, you’ll learn about key resources and best practices for lost cat recovery.

About Kimberley Freeman
As a professional lost cat tracker, Kim has 10 years of practice finding missing cats and the dirt under her nails to prove it. Combining animal tracking with bird language and the science of lost cat behavior, she’s been deemed the world expert in lost cat recovery, solving cases in 48 states and 23 countries.

Her mission is getting cats found before they end up in shelters––and she's created online guides on how to do it. Using special techniques tailored to feline psychology, these new methods improve owner success and reduce shelter intake. Alerting owners to these guides relieves demands on shelter staff and gives owners best-practices guidance based on science instead of myths.
