PetLynx helps animal companions get home ... safe!


PetLynx turned out to be very successful for me as I found Oreo the very next night.  A lady had found him and posted it on PetLynx. Thank you very much for this site,  I didn't even know that it existed until my dog went missing.

I have PetLynx to thank for reuniting me and my pet! After three months of seemingly endless searching, within 5 minutes of posting her on PetLynx she was found! I was overjoyed with tears and was so happy to see my pet was safe. Thank you PetLynx and Calgary Animal Services. Without you I wouldn't have been able to find my cat :) .

I am letting you know that my cat Oscar came home a few weeks ago and is safe and sound. This is a fantastic service and thank you for having kept me posted with possible cats that were a match to my cat.  Keep up the great work.

   Sincerely, Maria

 

My cat showed up on Saturday night after being missing for 16 days. He was none the worse for wear but it took a few years off my life though! Thank Heavens he's  back ... and thank you for your help!

Look-a-Like Lost Cats Equals Double Trouble!

This unusual PetLynx HomeSafe story is an excellent example of why all companion animals  should have some form of permanent identification, such as a tattoo or microchip.

"We were elated when we thought we had found our domestic long-haired cat, Lulu, in a backyard just three houses down from ours," wrote Nina S. of Calgary "She appeared nervous, hungry and thirsty, but otherwise healthy. We considered that 'Lulu' may have became disorientated after being chased into a hiding spot and then had no idea how to get home again.

"But there was something in the shape of this cat's face,... the density of her coat and the way she reacted to our dog made us doubt ourselves. Was this really our Lulu, we wondered? It sure looked like her but...."

PetLynx Results in Immediate Action!

I found the PetLynx website after my cat, Tilley, became lost. I have been down this road before with a lost kitty and I know about the sleepless nights spent wondering and the heart sick feeling spending days hoping... comforting children and pretending to be hopeful while imagining good endings.  

Almost immediately after posting Tilley's information on PetLynx, I viewed the 'found' listings and there he was! Thankfully, Tilley is now happily at home ... and my heart is not apart. Thank you so much for this service! PetLynx is outstanding and has taken away what could have been days of searching and sadness.

Thank you!

Mysterious "Disappearance" Has Happy Ending

Have you ever "lost" your cat, only to discover it hours later sleeping on your bed or hiding in a gym bag?

This relieved pet sitter never did find out where kitty was hiding but was relieved to know she had been HomeSafe all along!

I was cat sitting for a co-worker who was away for three weeks. The inside of her house was getting painted and there were painters in and out for the first three days.  For the first two days, I couldn't find Smokey, but just figured she was hiding.  On day three she was still missing so I had two other people help me search the house but we still couldn't find her.

Kitty HomeSafe After Three Weeks

I had noticed a very pretty, long-haired cat wandering in our neighbourhood for a few weeks and no-one seemed to know whom she belonged to. One day, I reached down to pet the cat and discovered that -- underneath all of that hair -- she was very thin. She acted like she was starving so I gave her some fish and she gobbled it up. I knew then the cat was genuinely lost.

I bought some cat food and continued feeding kitty for a few days. Eventually, I posted a "Found Cat" report on PetLynx and made a poster. Soon after, I received a call from a woman saying it was her teenaged daughter's 12-year-old cat. She had been checking PetLynx regularly and was trilled to find my posting. Their cat had been missing for three weeks!

It was a very emotional experience when they came to get their cat. The girl was so relieved that she had finally found her life-long friend she cried tears of joy! She was so thankful that she sent me flowers.
 

Thank you PetLynx for providing this service. I felt so sorry for the cat and it was helpful to have somewhere to turn to for assistance in locating her owners.

Happy Tails Are Home Again!

Lost your pet? Here are a couple of heart-warming HomeSafe stories to give you hope!

On Saturday February 27, 2010 we received a call from a family that they had found our dog, Coco. They had picked him up just minutes after he went missing but were heading out of town for the weekend, so Coco was taken -- safe and sound -- for a ride, too!

Petlynx made it possible for us to get Coco back and we want to thank you very much for helping us find our dog. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
        Sincerely,
        Susan H., Steve G. and Samantha H. (and Coco).

Our cat, Chopsticks, slipped out the door and disappeared. We spent hours looking for him -- rattling his favorite tin of treats as we went -- but had no luck in finding him.  We left the porch lights on and put some food at the front and back doors. An exhausting 13 hours after Chopsticks had been gone I finally decided to close the door for the night. There he was trotting up the steps as if nothing had happened!! We were so happy... and he was SO hungry! We don't think he'll be going outside again for a while. :)

Thank you for your service and support when we needed some comfort in knowing we were doing at least something proactive to find our cat.  Keep up the great work!
