In this paneled picture book, join a small girl on her hilarious and surprising search for her lost cat--and watch as she helps her neighbors, who have also lost their pets, along the way!
Where, oh where is Kitty? She's not upstairs... not in her litter box... not at her food bowl. Hmm...There's only one thing to do: find this lost cat.
As the cat's owner roams town in hopes of finding her pet, she discovers she's not the only one missing their beloved animal. There's also a lost dog...a lost bird...even a lost giraffe!
Join the search party in this almost wordless story that celebrates helping our neighbors and gently reminds us that what is lost can always be found.

"Staake brings empathy, camaraderie, and humor to a familiar experience in this wordless picture book." —The Horn Book
