Flaw of Pawboost!! The issue with this service is that pawboost posts Marlboro area lost pets to Edison which is 30 minutes away from this area!!! Since cats do NOT travel far, you should also post to Marlboro Facebook pages (including Manalapaws), Ring Neighborhood AND Nextdoor app. ♦️Leave a baby monitor outside (preferably with a camera, not just sound). They often come home in the middle of the night when all is quiet. If you hear meowing, open your door! ♦️If you have a garage or low-level window, keep it ajar and place sardines and dirty clothes there should your cat come home on his own, even at night! Your cat is likely hiding in a bush or behind a shed or structure close to the escaped area. ♦️New Ring search party for lost pets. ➡️ Tap “Search Party on Ring Neighborhood and hit right arrow” under your dog’s picture to start “pet search party” BUT do NOT send codes or $ to anyone! ♦️Hire a drone company (WITH thermal imaging ability when there’s snow on the ground! Most DO charge. ♦️Do NOT send $ or codes to anyone! Scams on every lost pet page. ♦️I’ve heard conflicting thoughts on whether to leave kitty litter boxes & food out to lure cats back home. This is what I’ve read, but do some research if you do: “Some coyote trappers use cat litter as bait. Ever wonder why cats bury their waste? They don't want to advertise their presence to predators! A litter box placed or sprinkled around the home may put your cat at risk of being snatched by a predator before you can get him back in the house.” ♦️I was told cats do not travel far, so also share to your *local* township Facebook pages, Ring Neighborhood, Nextdoor app AND flood your development that you live in with fliers. Fliers generate sightings. Lawn signs are very effective, eye-catching and waterproof. Put them at nearby intersections. ♦️From Er No: “Our friend was told to put out clothing, ohh with her smell and stand in ONE spot for a half hour, calling him...he was missing 2 weeks. If you walk around calling them, they keep changing direction to follow your voice and cannot hone in on where you are. She put out clothing she wore 12 hours, then stood at her back fence for over 45 minutes, calling him. She went inside and within 1 hour, he showed up. It is worth a try.” ♦️From West Milford Lost Pets: “TINKER has been FOUND❤️ Maryann stayed on the porch for hours last night, playing soft music that was familiar to Tinker, and with her blanket and food, and did not see her. When she got up this morning, she went into the woods with her treats and breakfast, and TINKER came out very warily and wouldn’t approach, but by talking softly and preparing Tinker’s breakfast Tinker slowly approached and came up to her as she sat quietly. Maryann scooped her up and ran into the house, with her girl safe in her arms” ♦️At latest sighting set a humane trap & surveillance cameras. ♦️This worked for another person recently: She “sat out in the dark in a lawn chair and called softly to him. He came running.” ♦️When posting to any missing pet pages, be VERY careful of scams. Do not send $ or codes to anyone. Often scammers will say “Go to Instagram” <— but don’t! Most lost pets are networked in Facebook & Nextdoor app. Many reputable trappers & trackers are volunteers in NJ and do not charge. ♦️Go in person to local shelters to see if your cat is there.

They usually don’t venture far. It’s probably scared & hiding near by in bushes or an open garage. Most kitties will stay put in their safe hiding spot. ( if they’re not fixed they can wonder further, depends on circumstances) Ask neighbors to check their sheds, decks, garages. They usually venture out at night after 24-48hrs when they start getting hungry. The “witching” hour when they come out is 3am. If you see your pet, don’t try to grab it, it’s still on survival mode and will run. Just sit down maybe with some treats and let your pet come to you. (Remember, never put the litterbox outside. Other cats will mark it & scare your cat away. Just in case, also set some humane traps near by, hide them in the bushes where your pet might hide. Good luck & don’t lose hope. Pray to St Anthony, he hasn’t let me down. 🙏🏻🐾

Drag scent trails… She may be hiding under a porch, a shed, or a car, behind bushes, or in a wooded area. Go out late at night with a flashlight that might reflect against her eyes, and call her gently. Or shake a bag of treats, sometimes better than your voice to attract a cat that’s scared. Create scent trails on the grass and ground leading up to your home (or to a trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when the cat is in the trap). Get a towel and rub it with your dirty laundry, blankets, socks, or anything else with the scent of home. (Do not use kitty litter.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag it from the areas where you think the cat might be, creating scent trails leading to your house (or the trap). You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will. (If you use a trap, load it with a little cat food, chicken or tuna, enough to attract the cat from the trail that leads up to it. Rely on the scent trails to get your cat to the trap.) Rain and snow will wash away the scent trails, so you’ll have to drag again afterwards. Also, renew the trails every couple days. Try to remain patient and hopeful. Some cats only show up after many days or even weeks. Important: . Never leave a trap unattended, always keep an eye on it, checking it every 1/2 hour in person or with a trail cam. Position the trap close to where the cat escaped or was last seen. . Trail cam photos and videos are marked with time stamps, helpful to know if and when the cat shows up but doesn’t go into the trap. . Post flyers in the area with a picture of your cat and your contact information. . Even if you don’t have a trap or a trail cam, scent trails leading to your home can work.
