Report a Lost Cat
The first step you should take in reporting a lost cat: use Petco Love Lost! Petco Love Lost uses facial recognition technology to match photos of the cat with its widespread database. You can share the Found Pet profile to your local social media pages, and you can even use Petco Love Lost to make flyers to post in your neighborhood! To get started, select the button below. Please note: this button will redirect you to Petco Love Lost’s page.
You can also fill out our online form to report a lost cat here. After you have filled out the form, please feel free to also contact us at (805) 683-3368 to inquire about any stray cats that have been brought in. Click here to view all stray cats currently in our custody.
We are currently only serving the Santa Barbara County area. If you are outside this area, please check with your local resources.
The more of the following you do, the greater the chance you have of being reunited with your pet and being reunited quickly:
- Let your neighbors know your pet is missing by walking your neighborhood. Statistically, if your pet has been found it was by one of them and they’re most likely trying to find you!
- Put up lost pet signs throughout your neighborhood
- Post a lost ad on Craigslist under the Community section.
- Post on Nextdoor so that those closest in proximity to you know your pet is missing.
- Post on any appropriate local lost and found pet Facebook pages:
