Shared. Post Archer on Nextdoor as well and check for updates on both websites. Also check frequently on their lists of found pets, in case Archer has been posted found. Check the shelters frequently both in person and online. File a missing report while you're there. Contact local rescue groups just in case. Not everyone checks social media, post flyers in the area. Include veterinary offices and pet stores when you post the flyers. Ask for neighbors to check their garages, back yards, storage sheds, under porches and crawl space under the house, bushes and trees, under parked vehicles, etc. Be there with his carrier and a bag of his favorite treats. An open can of food and a spoon also works. Shake the bag or tap the can while calling out to him. Keep your voice calm. Any stress in your voice will alert him to stay hidden. Search around the neighborhood when it's quieter, the time when it's getting dark works well. Take a flashlight, the carrier, and the bag of treats (or the open can and spoon). Check out of the way spots, bushes and trees, and under parked vehicles. Also check areas where he might be looking for food, water, and shelter (like the dumpster area of a restaurant, or the dumpster area of an apartment complex, for example). Good luck. 💖

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be killed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
