If this is an indoor only cat that never goes out, look close. Indoor only cats when lost get scared and hide because it is unknown territory and usually do not come out when you call. Usually are within 3 or 4 houses . Put out something with your scent such as a piece of clothing or blanket. Call at dusk, dawn and night and shake the treats. Get in your neighbour's yards and look under decks, sheds, in trees, bushes, under vehicles and hood. In garages or anywhere they can hide. Put up lots of posters. If you are searching at night, use a flashlight as their eyes glow in the dark. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=388310901737884

Lost Cat Tips Male or female Not all of this tips is will applicable to every situation. CHECK THE HOUSE WELL . Unfinished basement inside couches behind dressers inside of dresser drawers, because sometimes they crawl behind the dresser . If Outside : Shes / he’s may try and come home on their own in the middle of the night. Usually through the same way they got out but they can run to the backyard if they got out from the front door. It might take them a few days to get brave enough, but they might try and come home. Therefore if you actually saw her run out You need to leave someway for them to come in on their own overnight. If you don’t have any other pets, please consider leaving the back and front doors slightly open over night or a window and sleep in the living room if you wish. They usually try to come in on their own at night at least once esp in the beginning few days. When checking outside , use a strong high lumen flashlight even in the day time ((not a cell phone flashlight)) to search underneath deck , patio , sheds day or night use a flashlight to look for glowing eyes. She’s / hes probably hiding within 6 house radius. Even diagonally.. Don’t be shy, Check peoples back yards, ask them to go Look yourself with a light under their bbqs decks etc. scared and lost cats won’t go far, they’re usually hiding very close by . When checking bring some treats that they like and lead with your voice so they hear familiar sound before you enter the yard. If the cat is extremely skittish, it might run away before you enter the yard without you even knowing who it is . cameras are really important , it’s good to have the whole Community monitoring cameras, or for you to set up cameras around peoples homes and especially your home ! You can purchase cheap Wi-Fi cameras that use SD cards from Amazon for like $45 and connect them to people’s Wi-Fi and monitor them from an app on your phone. I did that when my cat went missing I bought about four and have them all around the neighborhood, with food in front of them so I can see if my cat was coming to eat. You can also buy spypoint Flex or Tacticam reveal cellular cameras that don’t require access to anybody’s Wi-Fi and you can place some around the neighbourhood as well. Also available on Amazon but much more expensive. And require a subscription about $15 per month. But they work amazingly as well and you can leave them where they don’t need to be plugged in and don’t need to connect anybody’s Wi-Fi. If your cat likes treats , Call him/her regularly shake Temptations treats , or even pour her kibble into a an aluminum bowl repeatedly from higher up to make a loud noise of kibble pouring. If you do this from your backyard at night, she will hear it even a few houses down. Try sitting outside on the curb in the middle of the night or shaking Temptations treat bag or pouring dry kibble back-and-forth in a bowl talking to her as if she’s there. One time a friends Cat just ran up to her when she was doing that . Especially when it’s very very quiet at night in the middle of the night, doing the same thing from your porch or from your backyard, depending on which direction is most likely to return from to encourage him to start walking back towards the house. But most importantly, you need have a way to monitor if she’s trying to come in on her own. Most of the time they will try for a first little while to come in by themself in the middle of the night when it’s extremely quiet like around 1 - 4AM . when it’s very quiet and no cars on the road leave the door slightly open and braced . No other animals will come in don’t worry. Try to get a Wi-Fi camera for your back yard if you have no cameras to see if they are coming around the house and leave any doors open overnight. Wifi Cameras only $70 Best Buy and connect to your Wi-Fi and your phone. Wyze cameras from Amazon are 45$ micro SD are 15 leave food and water in front of a door ring camera to be monitored , even water with catnip in it in front of the door cam or neighbours door cams if you dont have one. MONITOR by cam to see who is eating and don’t feed too most to not attract other cats . You can see if she’s coming for food or water. Talk to all the neighbors, any houses that have security cameras and to speak with them and leave them an image of the cat and ask them so if they are OK leaving some treats and water in front of their cameras, throughout the day and at night, and maybe give them a bag of Temptations each. And have them just put some food out for a few days and a few nights , not a lot just a couple of treats here and there and see if he will emerge. If they are not willing to put food, ask them to leave water with catnip in it. A lot of people have ring cams, door cans, or backyard cameras, and if they had a picture or a flyer of him and an opportunity to help they might take it. Post on NextDoor app and any other local fb groups. Not just lost and found groups . This helps a lot to raise awareness and get you a sighting. You need to do a lot of printed handouts and go door to door knocking and leaving the handouts with people on your street and over one street both sides. Ask people to leave the handouts on the fridge for a couple of weeks. Add Posters to light poles around your block and on community mail boxes. Think 300 door to door handouts and 40 posters. Use page protectors from Dollarama to keep them waterproof. Go door to door knocking asking people check their garages ,sheds , backyards , security cams and ask if you can go into their yards to check under the decks/shed etc

BONNIE is beautiful. Now let’s find her. She will be very nervous and likely hiding not far from your home. When you’re out searching this evening take a flashlight with you. The light will shine off her eyes and makes it easier to locate her. Look under every veranda and bush and any tiny place she may be hiding. Ask your neighbours to search their garage and under their porch or perhaps they will allow you to. She may have also climbed up a tree, so look there as well. Take a bag of treats and shake them while calmly calling her name. Put up posters and contact shelters in your area every 3 days to see if she has been turned in. If you haven’t yet gotten her micro chipped, please do, so should this happen again she can be returned to you. GOOD LUCK ❤

Give all details of your cat to the local postal sorting office and also to your own postman/postwoman. Posties are great as they go everywhere and see all. Good luck 🐈‍⬛

Not sure if this will help, but you could try.. Please place its bedding 🛏 outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing👚👖 front and back door 🚪with a contents of tuna can 🐟 on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well...supervise food outdoors. Also vaccumed home 🧹dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home🏡 enterence . You can also add some catnip 🌱in a stocking hanging by your entrances. Show your neighbors 🖼picture of the🐈 cat. 10 houses to the ⬅️ left 10 house🏡 to the right➡️ front ⬆️ and back⬇️ if they spot him to give you a call ☎️ immediately. Also, you can put up a Sign post 🪧with your 🐱📷 picture. In front of your 🏡lawn and to call you or contact you ASAP. Go early ⏰️ in the ☀️morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Tell neighbors to check their sheds and garage.Just in case it's trapped.. Also, you can install a camera / Baby monitor 📹 to monitor and see & hear if the cat is around your house 🏡. You can even ask your Local Pet 🐱 Animal Shelter to Rent out a Safe Trap and monitor it.. Praying for a soon safe return 🍀 of your kitty 🙏 ❤️🏡🐾
