Start with the latest Orange County sighting
A street address or map pin gives us a starting point. The time of the sighting and your pet’s direction of travel help us understand which nearby areas are worth reviewing.
- Share what happened. Send the escape point, latest sightings, a photo, and whether your pet is likely to approach people or hide.
- Review the local terrain. Tell us about nearby trails, washes, foothills, neighborhood edges, and any gates or access limits.
- Discuss a practical search plan. We assess visibility and flight conditions, then talk through timing and cost if a flight could help.

Where a drone may help locally
Open land beside a neighborhood, trails, washes, and foothill edges can give a drone a useful view of ground that is difficult to cover on foot. Recent sightings help narrow down which of those areas to check.
Buildings, heavy landscaping, and tight hiding places can limit the view. For a cat that has just escaped a home, quiet searching close to the escape point may be the first priority. We also review site access, weather, and airspace before confirming a flight.

Orange County pet search FAQ
Are you based in Orange County?
Yes. We are based in Orange County and serve Southern California. Send the exact search location so we can review the area and discuss logistics.
Can you search open space near my neighborhood?
That can be a useful area to assess, especially after a recent sighting. We need to review terrain, visibility, site access, weather, and airspace before confirming a flight.
Should I call if my indoor cat just got out?
You can call or text the escape point, time, and a photo. Many indoor cats hide close to home, so careful searching around nearby sheltered spaces may be the most useful first step. We can discuss whether there is also an outdoor area worth checking by drone.
How is search timing decided?
Timing depends on the latest sightings, the search area, access, weather, flight conditions, and scheduling. Cooler conditions can make heat easier to distinguish from the background.
Do you search outside Orange County?
Yes. We serve Southern California, including all of Los Angeles County. Travel and search details are discussed for each location.
