Please help me locate my precious Colby, a black and white tuxedo cat who is approximately 6 years old. He has unique "mitten" paws and is an indoor cat so he is afraid being outside.

Tr lostmykitty.com  they have a service that sends out a lost pet alert to the phones in your area with a description and your phone number asking people to check their basements, garages and sheds. There is a fee, but that’s how I found my cat. If you can print out flyers, give some to the mail carriers and your neighbors and put them on their porches as well as telephone poles. Also give them to the animal shelters and the veterinarians offices. If there are businesses nearby, ask if you can put a flyer in the window. 🙏💔

Rent or borrow a humane trap. The SPCA and other animal shelters rent them out for $100. When you return the trap you get your $100 back. Place the trap near where the cat escaped. Put some of the cat's favorite food and treats inside of the trap along with an article of your clothing with your scent on it. This method worked for me on two different occasions. If you trap the wrong cat or some other animal, put a blanket over the trap leaving the door exposed. Stand behind the trap and release the animal. Reset the trap. Time is of the essence so do this asap. Good luck and God bless.

 ***Very important ….for sightings Flyers are effective in getting the message out about your missing animal . Many people aren’t on Facebook; don't know about local lost and found Facebook pages, etc. so cover all your bases. Post flyers everywhere …. Put on mailboxes / under door mats .. and polls in your surrounding area in at least a three block radius in case someone sees or starts feeding your animal or sees them on their ring/camera. Also give one to the mail person … they’re in your area each day and might have a sighting. Ask neighbors to check their yards … Knock on doors ….ask for help. Also post on Neighbor app / Ring and any social media sites available in your surrounding area for lost and found animals. Sent from my iPad

 A few general suggestions … for indoor cats …. Leave a reentry door (realize it may be impossible) but if you know how s/he got out, maybe you can open it slightly) ….. often they return to where they escaped. Leave a scent trail with your unwashed clothes/socks/slipper or a blanket used on your deck. S/He’s likely close by and more likely to return when it’s dark and quiet outside or when s/he feels safe. They’re frightened and in survival mode. Check cameras, if you have them, to see if s/he’s returning at night when quiet. Ask neighbors to do the same. Indoor kitties usually stay close to home. Check under your deck or anywhere s/he might hide …. look in sheds, garages and basements. Gently talk to s/he while searching. Don’t scream or yell, it might frighten them even though it’s your voice. The cat could have gotten stuck in a shed or garage taking refuge and unable to get out. Go door to door and ask if anyone has seen her. Flyers are essential .. give them to neighbors in at least a 3 block radius. Sent from my iPhone
