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 Salt Lake City, 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Grey tabby with white paws, missing near Liberty Park

I lost my cat, a medium-sized grey tabby with white paws, yesterday around 3pm. He slipped out of our door near Liberty Park in Salt Lake City, around 500 S and 900 E. He wears a blue collar with a tiny silver bell and has a small white patch on his chest. There’s a tiny notch in his right ear from a past scrape. He’s a bit shy with strangers but very affectionate once he warms up. He’s been part of our family for years and means a lot to my kids. If you see him, message me here or email [email protected].

Gray dwarf hamster with blue harness

I lost my gray dwarf hamster named Pip yesterday around 5:15pm after he squeezed out of his cage near Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. Pip is about 2 inches long, with fluffy gray fur and a white belly, and there’s a tiny white patch on his left ear; he also wears a small blue harness with a subtle star pattern. He darted into the bushes along the path by 700 E and 500 S, and I haven’t seen him since. This little guy is really loved—it's my son's pet and it has sentimental value; we’re already worried sick. If you spot him or have him, reach out so we can arrange pickup in the Liberty Park area.

Calico cat with white chest near City Creek Center

I'm really worried — I lost my calico cat yesterday around 6pm near City Creek Center in Salt Lake City. She's a medium-sized cat, calico with orange, black, and white patches, bright green eyes, and a pink nose. She wears a pink collar with a small silver bell, and there's a tiny white heart-shaped patch on her chest that makes her easy to spot. I last saw her by the outdoor mall area near Main Street, and she may have slipped into a side alley behind Nordstrom. She's my daughter's cat and has sentimental value; I'd be so grateful to get her back if anyone has seen her.
