UPDATE, he’s back home!
***COTTON IS HOME SAFE ❤️ ***
HUGE thank you to Journey Home Animal Control for your assistance and guidance over the last several days. Thank you to Thermal Drone SAR Services, LLC for spending Sunday searching for this guy. Thank you to Cotton's adoptive family for doing everything they could to bring Cotton home. And thank you to the community!! Cotton was on the move a lot! Thank you for reporting sightings, allowing cameras and food on your property, and ultimately securing Cotton until his mom could get him. And thank you to Cotton's foster parents and our volunteers for searching for this sweet boy. ❤️
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cotton went missing on 5/2 from Shady Ln in Menomonee Falls and his last sighting was near Richfield. Please watch for Cotton when you're out and about and report any sightings.
🛑 DO NOT CHASE HIM!!! 🛑
🛑 DO NOT WHISTLE OR CALL TO HIM 🛑
✅ DO REPORT SIGHTINGS IMMEDIATELY, NOTING WHICH DIRECTION HE WAS TRAVELING AND THE CLOSEST INTERSECTION/ROADS.
Scent items have been placed and refreshed, however due to being chased he is being pushed farther away from home.
We also have a trap and camera ready to go however he has been pushed away from those as well. We appreciate everyone's concerns and willingness to assist, but Cotton is in survival mode now and we need him to relax and settle in one area.
