I wrote this and typed it up. I personally have used many of the options over the years! Good Luck!! (feel free to share with others, too.) VB -------> It is said that most lost cats don't go very far from home.
Here are some tips that might help you to locate your kitty.
Make a flyer with a good picture of your cat. Post all over your neighborhood,
and the surrounding neighborhoods. And post in nearby Veterinary Practices.
Talk to every delivery carrier which serves your neighborhood, UPS, FedEx, Prime,
US Postal Service, etc, and any other regular service (such as delivery pizza,
etc). Flyers will hopefully develop sightings, and that will help, too.
Talk to every neighbor and give them a flyer. Ask them to look in window wells, crawl
spaces, in every garage, in lawn buildings and sheds, under all covered equipment like
furniture, and grills, and under any covered vehicles.
Put food out near your home. Perhaps have some socks with your scent nearby.
**A recent personal experience with this in our family helped also reinforce the usefulness
of very late at night, and very EARLY in the morning, walking all over your neighborhood with
a good flashlight and *SOFTLY* calling your kitty's name. Look in storm drains, under bushes, etc.
Not really easy to do, but with almost no traffic, you might hear/ and be heard.
There are animal trackers, and social media, and your local animal shelter.
Go in person to look at their found animals! Many posts of both LOST and FOUND have no photo!
GOOD LUCK!
