Every year in King County, hundreds of cats become lost. The vast majority of these pets are never reunited with their owners.
A few strays end up at animal shelters, like the King County Pet Adoption Center, and go home with new families. However, most are never seen again.
To help improve the odds of finding a lost cat and returning it to its owner, Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) is teaming up with “pet detective” Kat Albrecht of Missing Pet Partnership to offer a Lost Cat Behavior seminar. The seminar will examine the science of finding lost cats by studying where they tend to go, how they behave when lost, and how they can be found. Appropriate for any cat lover, the seminar will include case studies of cats that were lost and recovered, some under remarkable circumstances.
The Lost Cat Behavior seminar takes place on Wednesday, Aug. 15 from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Pet Adoption Center, 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent.
There is no charge to attend, but pre-registration is required.
To register for the seminar, call 206-296-3946 or email volunteer manager Sarah Luthens at sarah.luthens@kingcounty.gov.
