Here’s a list of things to do, don't do, and other info to help get you reunited again with your little one.
Do:
Check particularly at night, late night, early morning (flashlight to see glowing eyes).
Look under cars, in bushes, garages, sheds, and on roofs.
Check a radius around your house and neighborhood behind you.
Put cameras outside facing all directions.
Talk outside, they could hear you and come out.
Update microchip info.
Put dirty clothing or sheets outside.
Put flyers up.
Contact nearby vets.
Be proactive and out there, this has the highest chance of being reunited.
Post/search through lost/found and sites (list below).
Do Not:
Put dirty litter outside. It attracts coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, etc. and territorial cats. Put dirty clothes, sheets, etc instead. Lots of rescues shun putting the litter box outside for safety reasons.
Set a trap and just leave it, always monitor a trap multiple times a day.
Post/search/list:
Note about shelters: Updated daily, don't limit by zip cause they don't always put one, and info can be wrong or missing (age, color, gender). Go asap.
