LOST CAT TIPS Cats typically don't go very far, and are hiding, so you'll have to search for them. Get smelly food, like tuna or sardines out ASAP. Put dirty clothing (a pillowcase you've been sleeping on is best) with your scent out along with food. Check in and around your home: inside the entire house, bushes, up in trees, deck, porch etc. If their head fits their body will too! Do not put your litterbox out! A litter box may attract community cats and other predators, which could actually deter your cat from coming home out of fear. Go door-to-door. Ask neighbors to check their outbuildings, sheds, garages and their Ring and other security camera footage for sightings of him/her. Post on all social media groups, especially: for the love of louie, those specific to your subdivision; Nextdoor, and ring doorbell. Use a flashlight to look under cars, bushes and up in trees for the glow of the kitties eyes. Go out periodically through out the night (especially after midnight until dawn) shaking his/her treats or opening a can of wet food and call to him/her. Listen for any responses and watch for movement and/or eyes peering out. Renting/borrowing/buying a live trap and setting within the first 24 hours your cat has been missing is a good idea. Live traps need to be monitored frequently (a camera with a live feed is best). Be prepared to release wildlife. Posting flyers in your neighborhood is critical in getting your lost pet back home. If you have a garage, leave the door open enough for him/her to get in.
