Need some Friday the 13th JUJU! ** HELP!!!**We lost our familiar!

The kitty pushed out the screen Tuesday night around midnight, and we didn't discover her missing till morning...

Purrrsephone, Princess of purrGatory is a year old, so maybe she had to do a vision quest. I seem to recall our large ten-year old boy did a walkabout for about a week when he was little too...

We have dont EVERYTHING possible on this plane, and we've also lit candles, prayed to Bast, etc. We set out a trap and have a camera on it, her collar tracker stopped working so we're not sure if we should concentrate on where it stopped or if she's closer to home now. Got flyers up, talked to neighbors.
We live in Lake Tahoe, so coyotes and bears are COMMON. I'm hoping she's hunkered down, but it's been dropping to the 20s at night and she's just 8 lbs...

PLEASE, if you have Vision, try to see where she could be, I can even send you a map of the neighborhood ...

If you are good with spellwork and prayers, or work with Bast, please help!

Here's her pics so you can see her face and feel her energy.

...and if anyone gets that she's been eaten or crossed the Rainbow Bridge, please let me know as well so I can stop crying....

I've seen a lot of pets get found using these sources. Try putting out things that smell like her home - her litter box, food, maybe some of your clothes. She is probably nearby. Anyhow, I hope she is found soon or comes home on her own (they usually do)!

we're using all the tricks, and working with the local Paws Network so we've posted to socials locally, Nextdoor, even giving flyers to local businesses ...

I have had cats who do and dont come home...but I feel like I'm so close to this one that my emotions are clouding any finding spells I do. So I was maybe going to try to do some pendulum work as well....

Put her litter box outside. That way, she will smell it and find her way home. Also, put some dirty clothing that smells like you outside. Again, she will smell it and come home. You may need to wait up late for her, because she might be afraid to come out during the daytime. That's what happened when our Pepper went on walkabout a few years ago, around the start of the pandemic.

Hugs to you and may Bast deliver Purrsephone safely home.

using stinky sardines and tuna as bait. Had to chase off a couple coyotes and the Bear, but so far we're on it!

I've also been calling from the deck so she can hear what direction I am and tapping the wet food can with a fork!

I have rescued cats all my life. I live with nine right now. I've worked with Bast and have a special altar for her that I've used when one of mine have gone walkabout. I'll make offerings to Bast tonight and also see if my cards can see anything.

Practically speaking, everyone has already said everything I was going to suggest. And it sounds like you've got it all covered. May Bast protect your loved one and hold her close until She can guide her home. Meanwhile, sending you some vibes of love and calming energies.

My partner is going to be worki g with the rescue after all our conversations with the director. We actually trapped a stray from the neighborhood the first night...and of course shes now joi ed the menagerie..we checked for chip and everything, so were slso helping her transition through her trauma ..

My partner says she wanted both of them, not a trade.

Thank you for the added gentleness, were both pretty emotional

Has Purrsephone come home yet? I didn't get much after my Bast ritual, except a feeling of calm (which to me is usually a good sign). I ran the Lemornand cards. It shows her on walkabout, and she may have wandered a distance from the house. One card disturbs me, tho, because in her situation it could be taken in two ways. She could either have been caught in a trap or by a critter. I'm still not feeling a sense of anxiety, tho... so I would say hit the rescuers again and the pounds. The cards showed me all the messages you have out there, and they're getting to the people who can help. They also are showing trees for some reason, so you may want to look up, if she hasn't found her way home. I dreamed of her last night, sashaying in the front door like "what's your problem?" Bast be with you both...

and I hope the little one you rescued yesterday is coming thru her trauma okay... keeping you guys all in my thoughts. Please, let me know what happens, Sister. My brood sends their purrs to you, as well.

Got a local lady with a tracking dog who finds kitties, they're gonna come get her bed cushion and see if she's up or under ... I always thought she'd be more of a under the deck crawler. But if spooked she could be treed. She's also not very LOUD so i wonder if I missed her voice...

Did a spell last night making a pathway with candles and used her fave toy and some runes. I plan to re-do tonight with just the candles and make her a clear path.


The new girl has now been vetted, had shots and been chipped, and is about 2 years old. We named her biscuits & gravy cuz she makes biscuits and purrs constantly! Poor little trauma baby, she doesnt even really know how to play! I hope Purrrsephone will come home and teach her how to cat.

Thank you so much for your input and prayers

She looks so much like my first familiar, Shadow. I'm thinking of calling Shadow to help guide her home. He still pops his head in at night around here every once in a while. Don't know why I didn't think of that before.

I sure know what you're going through. My Micki went walkabout for a MONTH and scared the hell out of me. I was out every single night walking the area for her. She never left the block, but had made it across the street, and was afraid of crossing back over. I spied her (dark colored tabby) in the backyard of the house across the street from us one night and luckily herded her to the house. But I was a wreck til she made it through the front door. What we do for our babies!

Purrs and Scritches... my big blonde Norwegian is giving head butts right now in your direction. Wish I were there to lend help in ritual and in the search.

A couple months ago my neighbor’s dog wandered off. We got a personal visit from her asking for help. I did two focused explorations.

The dog came home. I’m not saying I had anything to do with it, but who knows? I’ve heard the flyers are the best thing.

I will do the same for you.

trailcams will be here tomorrow, and we're gonna stake out the places that the tracker dog hit on and a few others.

Nothing but the Bear and field mice at our trap/camera

At least it's not below freezing tonight, but I know she's hungry and thirsty

I looked all around that hose down the street and I dont see ANY holes or places she could get into... unless she's treed.

I did another pathway home spell last night, will change candle colors and try again tonight. ALso asked the trees in the front yard to be beacons for her to find us, and got her fave toy hanging on the door...

The rescue lady says we've literally done everything on this plane we can do. SO I'm hoping that the angels and fairies can help

We've had the camera on the trap every night. Run off the bear once and coyote maybe twice but that's it...

Got trailcams and have been posting them throughout the neighborhood at cross streets and have caught not a lot.
Posted on ALL kinds of sites for lost pets and have covered the vets, and activated her chip as missing.

Waiting for that black kitty to cross my path when driving anywhere in the neighborhood. We're actively working spells and doing heart-meditations and calling her even through the wildlife that lives all around us, like the squirrels and ravens.

Temps are gonna drop Sunday, so PLEASE help us out!
If you want to do a pendulum on a map of our neighborhood, I can give you the address...?
Thanks
