Our cat brought in what we now think was a sugarglider -- at the time, we thought it must be a flying squirrel. My husband let it go, but now we are wondering if we should try to recapture it -- we would be happy to give it a home or to see if someone in our area lost one. Any suggestions on how we might catch it? We live in Seattle, and it probably won't survive the winter.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think gliders would last for very long in the wild of seatle, esp if they were used to being a pet that never had to hunt for its food. You can try setting out somethign like fruit to try and bring them back with food. Look high in the trees around your hoyse. Also conatct you neighbors and ask them if they had a apet sugar glider, I can't imagine them travelung a long distance. Also was it injured after your cat brought it in? I think you will have a hard time finding it if it is still alive.
The best time to look for a glider would be late at night since they are nocturnal you may see it jumping from tree to tree. I don't really know how else to help, I know some gliders will run to the sound of a bell, but that doesn't eman this one will. I really do wish you luck.
