What does this cost?

100% Free — And Always Will Be

I’ve spent countless hours building this guide and website—not for profit, but because I believe every cat owner deserves the best possible chance to bring their cat home, regardless of their financial situation.

You will never be asked to pay for access to anything on this site or in this course. Ever. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases but that also costs you nothing.

Right now, you’re probably overwhelmed and scared. The last thing I want is for you to feel pressured to choose between finding your cat and making a car payment. If something here helps you recover your cat, the greatest “payment” you could ever give me is a photo of your kitty safely back home.

😻 About Donations

Many people ask how they can support this work—and I’m incredibly grateful for that. To keep this resource free and growing, I now accept donations to help cover expenses and provide equipment to families in need.

These donations help me:

• Lend out trail cameras and humane traps

• Cover ongoing costs like camera subscriptions or website fees

• Continue helping lost cats—at no cost to the families searching for them

💵 Where Donations Go

Here are just a few of the actual costs I cover out of pocket:

• Web hosting: $192/year

• Trail cameras: $100 each (4 in use)

• Camera mounts: $32 each (5 in use)

• Camera subscriptions: $126/year each (4 active)

• Rechargeable batteries: $48 each (8 in use)

• Humane traps: $150 each (3 in use — 1 was donated)

• Trap covers: $50 each

• Trap liners: $23 each

• Gas: Hard to calculate, but I cover a lot of ground

Every dollar donated goes straight back into lost cat recovery efforts and community cat care in my area.

🙏 Thank You for Being Here

I hope this guide gives you the tools and hope you need to bring your cat home. And if it does—please send me a photo. It means the world to me.

I can’t stress this enough: I don’t expect anything in return. Just maybe that one picture… of your cat, safe and sound.

Now, let’s continue on to the completely free course.
