read the advice in "files" and the "featured" row near the top of the pages or groups. sometimes you have to press a little arrow like shape to open it, scroll by pulling to the left or right. 🔻THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF SCAMS PEOPLE USE TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MISSING FRIENDS. OFTEN THEY TEXT SAYING THEY HAVE FOUND YOUR FRIEND AND TELL YOU TO SEND THEM A CODE. DO NOT. The newer scams are links in comments like: "these people found my pet fast! go to imfakeandmentallyill in Instaggram for their team to help you too!!" ..they usualy ask for cash before they look, and or for you to send them a code DO NOT 🤦🏻‍♂ sigh..... ok... take some slow, natural, deep breathes.... try these tips: ✅any interactions with posts gets them seen by more people, even likes, but the others help more, and commenting is best.. besides sharing obviously. ✅use a flashlight at night and when its dim, to look for their eyes glowing.. keep the flashlight up by your head so their eyes retroreflected light goes into your eyes. if you dont understand that study it. or trust us.. ✅put out scented objects like pillows and couch cushions. and if safe, crack some windows to let the scent out.. hopefully u can afford to leave one cracked open enough for them to crawl back in the middle of the night.. ✅when searching, move in a slowly growing spiral pattern, yell louder on the spiral path back so as to pull them home.. searching up wind is more likely to help, if they are down wind they would possibly be able to smell their way home already... ✅for scent, vaccume bag dust can be used to make a long trail home.. best to stretch the line of dust up wind.. by up wind i mean make an line of small piles of dust that is layed out going 'up'/into/against the prevailing wind (that is the usual typical orientation of wind).. that line should probably be no more than 1/4th of a mile long for every day they are missing.. maybe less distance for cats, and more distance for dogs.. Check for them all along the trial as often as u can. and collect more dust for more trials and or a longer one.. ✅dont forget to refresh the outside box/house or traps with fresh stinky pillows food toys etc.. buy a big bag of their favorite food, spread it in many feeders on all sides of the building.. scent form all things can get ed way up to high by the wind and houses heat, so place some on all sides of the building.. ✅putting out food after the first day risks attracting others, their presence might push your friend away.. probably best to only use familiarly scented objects. ✅if you want us to more easily help find them, we need to know how u talk to them, like "come here good girl good kitty" or "come on baby, here come.." etc etc.... really the best option is a voice recording we can mimic and even use directly.. also, unless they are accustomed to you yelling their name, they may find the distortions the yelling produces to not only be unrecognisable, but scarey.. so please keep that in mind and remind others. try to sound normal, and sometimes normal, just louder.. get a cone to direct the sound so less yelling is needed. ✅ if only for future reference/inspiration, it also may be helpful to consider; does this beed or individual often need hair cuts to look like they do in the picture? if so, another picture with longer hair, or a picture of a very similar hair cut or lack there of, might help them be identified in their current or future state.. ✅give paper copies of pictures and helpful suggestions to neighbors. suggestions by Rena Hays: ✅ set a Humane live trao. traps MUST BE MONITORED CLOSELY.. alert all neighbors and ask to check sheds,garages, under decks, bushes, even old dog houses. If possible place the pets bed in garage with food and something that smells like home. Leave garage door up just enough to allow entry for kitty. Best of Luck 🐾 ✅ PLEASE USE CAUTION DURING DIFFICULT WEATHER, TRAPS SHOULD BE MONITORED EVERY 30 to 45 MINUTES for the safety and the well being of the animal. ✅ Make one post in a local lost and found group, or your wall. Then share that one post to every group. Dont make multiple posts. Share one post to multiple places.. It makes a huge difference in how Facebooks algorithms stack points for more and more views. And it also makes communication easier because it's all linked together very tightly to one post.. ✅for future posts copy this: **MISSING** Please share and help contribute to a reunion! County: City: Location Details: Date: Name: Gender: Breed: Coloring: Physical Features: Age: Weight: Collar/Microchip/Other: Contact: Additional Information: Heres a short video with more info about finding cats, much of it applies to other species as well..

Suggestions that Work to Help Lost Pets: 1. If you have found a pet, please have the dog/cat scanned for a microchip. Any vet will scan (free of charge). Including the emergency vet (open 24 hours). Lafayette Vet Care Center. If your lost pet is microchipped, contact the microchip company right away. 2. Put a BIG sign in the area where you found the dog/cat, or in your front yard, if you've taken in or have lost a pet. Someone may be driving around looking for their lost pet or for the owner of a pet they found. If your lost pet is a cat, put their litter box, food, and water outside. 3. Put fliers all around the area and at vet's offices, for a pet you've lost or for a pet you've found. 4. Post on the Facebook page "Lafayette, Louisiana-Lost Dogs, Cats, and Pets" (Paw Boost) and similar FB pages in your area. Include your CONTACT INFORMATION in your posts. Be sure to include your PHONE NUMBER when filling out the information on Paw Boost. Check the comments on your post. 5. Be sure to check other posts on the page, to see if someone is looking for a pet you've found, or if someone has posted about a pet they found, that you lost. On some pages, this is under "Visitor's posts". 6. Get the Nextdoor app, and post on it. 7. Make your Facebook posts PUBLIC so people can share. Check the comments. Someone may have information. 8. Include EXACTLY where the pet was found or lost. City, street name and specific area of the city or parish. 9. GO TO the animal shelter and look for your pet or hang a flier about a lost/found pet. Don't call - the front office staff cannot help you. Go there and bring a flier with the pet's photo and your phone number. 10. The Lafayette Animal Shelter and Care Center's website is here: www(dot)lafayettela(dot)gov/lascc. Click Lost and Found and then Search the Shelter to see the animals who are there now. Is your pet there? (It's always better to go there in person, if you can, and speak with someone and see the animals there. Sometimes the photos are not great, especially of a scared cat or dog.) Thank you!
