The key to a cat if it is not too far from home, only hiding. is open a side or and back door a few inches, and lay a plate of cooked chicken with cat nip.. for smells. Cats find their way by smells. Also, get a heated cat house, shelter outside on your porch with the same smells. keep the light on.

I copy & paste my tips, so some may not apply. Most of the time, they will not stray too far from home. I went out at dusk, during the night, and at dawn (when they are most active) and called my cat's name softly and spoke to them. That helped - Munch was hiding under my next door neighbor's back deck. Munch is a talker in the house; I was finally able to get him to talk to me again. Look at your surrounding neighbors' yards - are there any spots/openings that would provide protection from the weather? We put out kibble, water, his litter box, and an article clothing from each of us with our scent on it next to the kibble, sprinkled with some catnip. There are different traps. We were about to use a drop trap when I caught Munch by hand. If you have cameras outside, use them for surveillance. That's how we found out where and approximately what times Munch was most active. My husband and best friend went door to door with the flyers and spoke with our neighbors (I was working the social media). I also called all the local vets to inquire if a kitty like Munch was brought in and emailed them Munch's flyer so they were on the alert of him missing. Same with local rescues. One recommended putting out more than one trap. When it goes below freezing, their paw pads can freeze to the metal cage. If you can afford it, I highly recommend using the PawBoost Alerts. We paid for the Facebook post, Instagram ad, and the comparing our kitty to the found animals they come across. I received a few calls - and a lot of shares online. Got one scammer - so be careful. I know some of these tips are repetitive, but I wanted to share because I feel these tips were instrumental in helping to bring Munch home. Sending pawsitive vibes and hugs. We know the nightmare you are going through. We are praying you find your kitty ASAP. ❤️🐾❤️

I am Buttercup's mom. I couldn't figure out how to edit the information, but the road name is Fang, not Fang, and it is also known as CR 166..
