LOST CAT OPEN DOOR Scatter the contents of your hoover bag around the outside boundary of your home - they can scent their way home from miles away, using the familiar smell of your home. If putting out clothing make sure that it hasn’t been washed so that it smells of “you”. Going out late at night/ early morning when it is quieter and less noise distraction around will make it easier for you to hear each other’s calls. If you are calling for him make sure you do this as you walk towards your home not away from it so that if he follows the direction of your voice you’re leading him home, not further away. Also ask any neighbours to check their sheds/ outbuildings in case he’s been inquisitive and got trapped inside somewhere. If he is an indoor cat he is likely scared and hiding somewhere very close by - look under/behind any items/objects that he may be seeking shelter from - under bushes, behind bins etc. when searching at night take a torch - the light from its beam will reflect in his eyes and you will be able to spot him even if he doesn’t respond to your calls. Put up posters in all surrounding streets and inform the microchip company that he is missing.Put out water, and some of YOUR dirty clothes (dirty socks are nice and stinky)/blankets (dry in dryer first to enhance smell). Depending on the weather, you might want to put out a plastic tub with straw for shelter. Go out every morning and evening walking (folks seem successful around 10:30 p.m., but don't go alone) with food/treats in bowl rattling it, calling your cats name. Cats are often hiding within a 5-house radius. Do NOT give up. There was a cat a week or so ago, they went out every night for 5 nights, finally on the 5th night, they heard it's meow, it was trapped in a neighbor's shed. Another was hiding in a tree from the neighbor's dogs. Check buildings, bushes, trees, and storm drains around your house. Also in the house/garage, keep all doors/closets OPEN in case it's hiding in the house. If you can, leave door cracked open from which cat would most likely sneak back in during the night. If desperate, sprinkle your urine near the cracked door as stronger scent guidance. Worked for us!

I!’m so sorry your fur baby is missing. I’m posting a few tips to help you find her, and I realize that perhaps you’ve already tried some of them. (But hopefully there’s still a point or two you’ll find helpful.) Please put her bed/blanket or an unwashed article of your clothing outside, the scent will help her find her way home. (Experienced rescues advise not to use soiled cat litter as it can attract predators and aggressive cats.) If she’s an indoor only kitty, she’s probably close but hiding. Check under the house, porches, and in sheds and garages, anywhere she may be trapped. Ask your neighbors to do the same. Ask them, too, to check their Ring cameras. If she’s not home by tonight, search under bushes and shrubs with a flashlight, her eyes will reflect the light and you'll be able to see her. Best time to search is late night and early morning when it’s most quiet outside. Call her name softly and gently shake a treat bag. Also, leave open an entrance to your home in case she comes home late at night. Post on Pawboost and Nextdoor, excellent additional resources that can assist you. If you can, put up fliers throughout your neighborhood and report her as missing to local vets. Finally, be sure to file a lost kitty report with your county shelter, Bonnie Hays Shelter 503-846-7041. Send a photo to them, if possible. Last but not least, beware of lost pet scams. They appear to be on the increase these days. All my best wishes for a speedy reunion.

Knock on neighbours doors and put out flyers everywhere. Do offer rewards. Also go out in the night. You can hear him better then. Check the pounds too. Airtags on collars help greatly.

Check in bushes and under cars near your home, and check on the next street over, especially in the evening with a flashlight, calling out to him/her and making a familiar sound. Ask neighbors if they might have seen him/her, and when they last did if they have. Ask them if he/she might be trapped in their garage or shed. I hope he/she is found soon🙏🏻
