Re your lost cat: Stressful! Please be open to many possibilities. Research indicates most 'lost' cats are hiding, scared (especially if chased or injured), possibly disoriented, locked in or trapped somewhere, usually within 500 metres from where lost (less for indoor cats). Some cats fear making a noise in case it attracts predators, so might not respond to your calls.They can squeeze into the tightest crevices (sometimes get stuck), why very thorough searches are required. Please search all through sheds, garages, under buildings, desks, in drains, bins, skips, in between tall walls and fences, roof and wall cavities, on rooves, up trees, vacant buildings, storage areas etc. (Might be hiding or locked in / trapped somewhere, surviving on insects, etc). Don't trust neighbours to search!!! (Or at least not as thoroughly as you. Some don't search at all. Cats have been found dead too late because neighbours "forgot" / did not bother). You are more likely to do the thorough search required. (Best ask permission to search yourself, or go with your neighbour). Call down drains with strong smelling food. If you can lift the grate and enter the drain, even better. (One cat recently found 500 metres away, down a drain). And /or create a temporary, stable ramp (eg with a branch of wood or towels to cling onto) from inside to outside of the drain, call down & leave strong food outside overnight. 10pm - 5am walks with strong smelling food and torch, when no cars: call calmly, stop, listen, wait. Leave a door open if safe with food inside. Leave strong smelling food (eg tinned Whiskas cat food meat and fish flavour or hot BBQ chicken) and water out overnight, near exit point and possible hiding places / where might be trapped. If food eaten, last resort, a cat trap on level ground in a safe, discreet location. Google how to use safely, monitor closely. Do not leave a trap unattended! Remain nearby. Posters, leaflets and door knock. CCTV cameras. Vets, pounds and animal welfare organisations, regularly with photo. Ensure microchip details are correct, register as lost. Do all at previous address, if puss recently moved home. (One cat recently travelled 26km to previous address, arrived 6 weeks after lost. Another found 500 metres away from where lost, 7 months later). Most cats need to be locked in for 3+ weeks to bond to a new home, otherwise sooner or later might try o head back to previous home or territory. Most cats are escape artists until bonded to new home! (eg breaking through mosquito netting and forcing sliding doors / windows open). Be extra vigilant !! New / timid cats & kittens are prone to hiding / getting stuck under / behind / in, furniture. So also check in / behind / under drawers, wardrobes, low lounges / beds, recliner chairs (don't move leg rest until double-checked), behind fridges where warm, washing machines (always check inside before washing). Be extra careful moving furniture! Behind / under kitchen cupboards & behind rangehoods, are other potential areas to be trapped. Do all of the above many times (in case your cat moves). Track down where any vehicles puss might have entered travelled to, do same there. 😞 🙏 (See Find Booboo page: determined owner perservered for 7+ months before found her skinny cat). Please consider keeping indoors and / or invest in a very secure cat enclosure or catio. (Research has found it adds 10+ years to average age of cats. Safer for cats and wildlife). Be aware of dodgy scams claiming to find or rescue your cat. Seek independent reviews before engaging & providing your personal detail and money. Don't give up searching ... 🙏 Re your lost cat: Stressful! Please be open to many possibilities.

Time is of the essence to going out and looking for your missing fur baby. Night walks, every night for about 30 minutes are super essential to tracking your missing cat. It's a dangerous world out there for roaming fur babies, sadly and you don't want them getting into the wrong human hands!!! When you do your night walks after 10.30pm when the world is quieter, take a flash light and the dry food container and shake it or tap it as you go. (And you could also try taking some hot roast chicken with you as an alternative). And look in all hiding places close by to where your cat escaped from. Under buildings, shrubs, parked vehicles, on roofs, (or in attics) up trees, absolutely everywhere and most especially in the storm water drains in your's and nearby streets. Call down these drains (A favourite place for scared cats to hunker down) and the Flashlight will show up the eyes. Do not go once, go every night calling (try not to sound distressed) and repeat, repeat, repeat, & just the repetition of doing that can help a cat find their way back to you. Print fliers and door knock neighbours far & wide. Ask if you can search their gardens and any outdoor buildings, always calling as you search, (you might just get a reply) and ask them to check any attics in their houses, leave a flier with them. Always check in with the Pounds and any RSPCA and Vets etc. Leave them a flier too. And if there's a sighting you can always hire or borrow a humane cat trap and set it with hot roast chicken. Good luck in finding your beautiful fur baby. 🙏

Please check the street drainage pits also. Could have crawled through to escape something and now can't get out.
