Indoor cats usually stay in a 3 to 5 house radius of home
* Will often hide all day and only come out late at night
* Most will come home between 2 and 4 am
* Leave the door or window they escaped from open if possible. If not, leave another door open if you can.
* If you can't leave a door open, get up throughout the night and check outside.
* Around 10 pm set out smelly food like rotisserie chicken
* At night, walk the area and call softly. Listen carefully. Use a flashlight to catch eyeshine.
* You can put the cat's blanket out or your worn clothing, or just make some lines or little piles of your cat’s dirty litter to help guide them back home.
Ask your neighbors with garages/sheds or outdoor bat access to check as cats can be accidentally locked in and neighbors may go away on vacation without realizing a cat is in their bat or garage/shed.
Also very important to look at the trees close by cats often get stuck high up in trees after being startled or chased.
Not everyone is on facebook so for the best results put between 50-100 flyers in your area all around a 3-4 block radius. Also post on the other social media platforms-Instagram ring neighbors, Ring/neighbors app is totally free to post on and an alert is sent to all the neighbors who have cameras and just neighbors who are subscribed about your cat. Nextdoor Com is similar as it targets your area so all the neighbors who are on Nextdoor can be alerted to your missing kitty 🙏Read More
