My heart goes out to you. I have been through it myself. Here are some tips I've put together over years of working with rescue. * Don't wait for him/her to come home. Yes, he/she may do that, but most cats are scared and go hiding in small places, mostly close to home, a few houses or a block away. (They can go a few miles if chased or desperate, mostly in desperation looking for water and food.) They hide under cars, decks, patios, porches, in sheds, drain pipes, stairs, window wells, garages, bushes, woods, up trees, roofs, etc. Walk around calling their name, shaking a treat bag or favorite toy with bell. Carry smelly food to encourage them if scared and hiding. Listen very, very carefully for low meows. Use a flashlight to catch and reflect their eyes. A good time to go looking is twilight and very early morning/pre-dawn, when it’s quiet and calm so they may feel safer to come out and it’s also feeding time. * Talk to and alert everyone you know and that lives in your vicinity, as well as local businesses. Notify and check with animal control/shelters/humane societies and local veterinary offices. Post on and check lost sites, such as Lost Cats of Wisconsin (file your report there to create your free flyer and a post on Pet FBI ), Nextdoor, various community FB pages, Craig's List. Post flyers on corners/posts, in front of your home, and with neighbors, businesses, and anyone in the vicinity. * Put out a carrier or something right outside your door for shelter and safety. Place clothing/blankets with a familiar scent, yours and/or theirs, inside or nearby. * Searching, go out a few blocks, then back close, then out farther and back close. You may miss the cat or the cat may move or may not be meowing. Repeat over and over, looking carefully on the ground for paw prints and for places they might hide. * If you have a garage, leave open with smelly food favorites, water, clothing/blankets with familiar scent, their old litter box in garage. If you have a family dog who is close to the cat, give the dog something with the cat’s scent and then a treat; and then go walking around, watching your dog very carefully. You can even do this with another cat close to home, if you have a cat harness and leash. * Get or borrow a humane live animal trap and set it up with tuna or some other smelly cat food. Be sure to check it frequently. But in extreme weather, do not set it unless you can monitor it constantly and bring in immediately if caught. * And never stop looking! Never give up! Too many give up too soon. It may take weeks or more before you find and/or someone turns in your cat to an animal shelter. Make sure to contact and also GO IN PERSON to your local shelter/humane society to look at all of the cats they have there. Don’t rely on just pictures or the person answering the phone to have all updated info on who they have there. They do their best, but you need to check in person on a regular basis.

Here is my cat advice. Post should have nearest cross streets, contact number or email, cat's name, markings, , and if the cat has collar, tags or chip, or special needs (, elderly). Mention if it is an indoor escapee or indoor outdoor cat and if it is friendly or skittish. Use a flashlight and look for glowing eyes. Chances are it is not far away. Dusk is a good time to do this. Look under cars, grill covers, decks and porches, bushes, storm drains. Leave dry food and canned smelly food like tuna or sardines and water. Ask your neighbors to check their yards and check their ring cam footage, sheds, garages, window wells. Post on nextdoor and any neighborhood facebook page. Do flyers to each neighbor and make 50-100 flyers. If you are in an apt complex, post flyers in public areas like mailboxes hallways laundry garbage bins pool etc. notify apt management and maintenance so they can watch for the cat as they do work around the complex and the office can send an email to the residents You may need to do it for neighboring apt complexes too. Step by step lost cat guide and flyer template https://wicatinfo.weebly.com/lost-pet-resources.html best of luck. Also notify the humane soc that the cat is lost.Trail cams are useful to see who is eating the food. They run about 50 dollars online or at Walmart or Fleet Farm. Note that any light siamese, orange or buff cats may look white on the nightime cams. Calico cats will have the orange spots come out as white. Please let your neighbors know this and put the info on the flyers, as people may see your cat and not realize it is yours.
