Dear Animal Services Team,

I am writing to follow up on the lost pet report I filed on January 20, 2025, regarding my cat, Luna (report #45678). She is a grey tabby, last seen near Elm Street on January 18. Despite my efforts to search the neighborhood and post flyers, I have received no leads, and I am increasingly concerned for her safety.

Could you confirm whether any cats matching Luna’s description have been reported or found in your shelter? Additionally, please advise if I should expand my search to nearby municipalities or if your team coordinates with other shelters. I would also appreciate guidance on whether offering a reward for Luna’s return is recommended.

For your reference, I have attached recent photos of Luna and can provide further details if needed. Please respond by January 25, as I am eager to pursue all possible avenues. You may reach me at (306) 555-3210 or via email.

Thank you for your support during this distressing time.

Sincerely,

Olivia Grant
