Koshka pushed out a window screen and escaped from her family's Independence, Missouri home. Ordinary daytime searching didn't turn up anything, so the team built a plan around ground thermal equipment, a handheld thermal scope, and a thermal drone once darkness made temperature contrast more useful — with Koshka's family involved throughout.
She was located and safely brought inside within two hours of the team's arrival. Watch the full recovery to see how KC Pet Search & Rescue approaches a missing-cat case with more than random searching.
