Lost pet — how to find them fast

A fast, practical plan for finding a lost pet, plus the shelters and microchip registries to contact.

When a pet goes missing in Great Falls, speed and visibility are everything. Most lost pets are found close to home within the first day.

  1. Search the immediate area. Check nearby gardens, sheds, and quiet spots. Bring treats and a familiar item, and call calmly.
  2. Alert the microchip registry. Flag your pet as missing with the microchip database so your details are current if they're scanned.
  3. Call local shelters and vets. Phone shelters, pounds, and veterinary practices around Great Falls and ask them to note your pet's description.
  4. Post online and on lost-pet databases. Share clear photos in local community groups and lost-pet services.
  5. Put up visible notices. A simple poster with a photo, the area, and a contact number still works.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-pet listing for Great Falls so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Orange tabby cat with green collar

I lost my orange tabby cat Mango yesterday around 3pm near Holiday Park along River Drive in Great Falls. He's about 9 pounds, with a bright green collar and a tiny silver bell, plus a small white spot on his chest. He's usually friendly but can be a bit skittish with strangers, so he might run if approached. Mango is a rescue and means the world to me; this cat was a gift from my grandmother and holds a lot of sentimental value. If you've seen him or he's wandered into your shed or yard, please text me. I just really need to bring him home.

Gray tabby cat with white paws and red collar

I lost my gray tabby cat Luna yesterday around 3pm in Great Falls, near the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art on 1st Ave North. She bolted from me by the riverfront and disappeared into the alley behind the old train depot. She wears a red collar with a tiny silver bell, and she has white paws and a faint crescent white patch on her chest. Her left ear has a small notch, and she has a tiny scar on her right hind leg from a past scrape. She's indoor-only and incredibly friendly, so she might come when called if you see her. Please let me know if you spot her—she's dearly loved and missed.

Leopard gecko with blue tail, lost

I lost my leopard gecko, a small 4-inch reptile with a bright blue tail and subtle banding. It slipped out of its terrarium yesterday afternoon around 3pm near the Giant Springs parking area in Great Falls. It’s usually calm but very skittish, and it might be hiding under porch pots or inside a rock garden by the park overlook. It has a tiny chipped scale on its left hind leg, a feature I’ll recognize instantly, and this gecko means a lot to my kid—sentimental value. Please keep an eye out; I’d really appreciate any help in getting it back.

Lost: Tiny tan hamster with white belly

I lost my tiny tan hamster with a white belly yesterday around 6pm. His name is Tito, and he's about the size of a golf ball when curled up, with a distinct blue dot on his right ear. We last saw him in the living room near the window, but he might’ve squeezed out when I opened his cage to refill his water. I’ve been searching around Riverside Park by the Great Falls Public Library on 3rd Ave North, and I’m really worried; this little guy has sentimental value, he’s been part of the family for years. If anyone spots him, please email me at [email protected]; I’ll gladly offer a small reward for his safe return.
