****If your pet is lost/missing, please do these things first: Notify the chip company that they are missing. Make sure all your contact information is UTD. If it's not, you can do so now, as long as you have the chip information. Turn in LOST PET REPORTS (with picture and chip info) to all: police, animal control, vets, emergency animal hospitals, shelters/humanes, rescues, sitters/boarders, and groomers. Please post as missing and search the Found posts on At Least These Sites: 24petconnect.com (fka Petharbor.com), Pawboost.com, Petcolove.org, pawmaw.com, petfbi.org, lostmydoggie.com, and lostmykitty.com, plus all local lost/found sites, and all social media. Please search LOST PET BEHAVIOR. It is so important to think like them now. Animals in survival mode often act differently than their usual. Some folks may not have social media or even internet. Best to use old school methods as well. Newspaper ads. Going door to door. Posters/flyers: Make up tons of both. Posters should be laminated so the weather doesn't harm them. Put posters up all over neighborhood/area & check on them daily as people will take them down. Flyers: hand out face to face w/ conversation, to all: neighbors, postal/paper carriers, joggers, dog walkers, kids/teens, delivery drivers of all kinds, bus, taxi, Uber/Lyft drivers. Landscapers. All persons who work, and/or have a route/ine in the area. They notice animals. In the case of a missing dog, please contact Babs Fry (619) 249-2221 awayhomefordogs.com. Babs is an expert in dog recovery. She's also on Youtube. She is in California, but helps people from all over. She works for FREE, and can help you customize your search, what to do, and what not to do for the specific circumstances. In the case of a missing cat, please contact Damia Koti (650) 339-6619 happycatlady.com. Damia is an expert in cat recovery. She is also in California, but helps people from all over. Advises them specifically for their circumstances what to do and what not to do. Damia also helps for FREE. *Please do not just wait for the pet to come back on its own. They may be unable to. They may need search & rescue. They could be caught on something (often collars get caught), trapped in a space previously closed off, have crawled into a tight space, but cannot get back out. They could be injured or have been hit by a vehicle, attacked, poisoned, or kidnapped. Please actively investigate/search immediately!! Time is of the utmost essence in these cases. Make sure to check (and recheck) all over your property. Both inside & outside. Ask neighbors to also do so on theirs. Inside residences, and outside on the property. Inside: furniture, beds/box springs, behind appliances, inside of appliances -working or not, Heating/AC vents, crawls spaces, under cabinets, in drawers/closets, attics, under stairs, basements, all cubbies and storage areas/containers. Outside: under houses, porches/decks, ditches, drainpipes, barns, garages, carports, utility & storage sheds, woodsheds, all outside structures, trees/bushes, fences, rooftops, cellars. It is common for animals to be curious, to get into/inside somewhere that was previously closed off or locked up. Remember to check all vehicles, boats, trailers, campers, all places they may find protection. Where would they find water, food, shelter, and possibly companionship? Any friendly neighbors they may visit? Any waterways nearby? Cat feeding stations? Restaurant dumpsters/garbage cans? Surveillance. Check yours and ask neighbors and nearby businesses to do the same. You may wish to use trail cameras and live humane traps. Almost everything is caught on video now. Again, search LOST PET BEHAVIOR. It's so important to think like them, understand how they will act. I hope this helps those who are missing their pets. Best~

General Information: Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. NO CAT BOX OR FOOD. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.
