The amazing walk around method : 3 AM to 5 AM Cat witching hours · Schedule your search for a missing cat between 3am to 5am, try a good neighbourhood block to look for your wayward cats, when the streets are quietest, increasing your chances of hearing a lost or trapped cat. · Arm yourself with a strong bright torch and bring along enticing treats like hot roast chicken or the cat's favorite food to lure them from hiding. · Carry a secure cat carrier for safe transportation once the cat is found. · Drag worn clothing with your scent along your route to help guide the cat home using its strong sense of smell. · Be persistent: repeat the search as needed, as cats can be skittish and may not come out of hiding right away. · If searching for someone else's cat, playing a recording of the owner's voice can help attract the cat . Also, if you can download a recording of a mother cat calling her kitten and then playing it, can be helpful when doing your night walks . . Make sure to check any CCTV or dash cam footage in your area in case your cat was picked up

Ask your neighbours to look through their sheds and garages in case your cat is locked up, or get permission to look yourself as they are more likely to come out of hiding with a familiar voice. Also, check under the houses especially if they are the old type on stumps. Don't forget the fence line between neighbours property, cats can get stuck between buildings and the fences especially on the new properties where houses are very close together.Just remember cats can also get stuck in neighbours backyards (if they have been spooked) making it difficult to climb back especially if it is a colour bonded fence (slippery surface). Make sure you look through any cupboards, wardrobes washing machines dryers where they can hide in dark cosy corners. Be mindful when it is cold cats (especially kittens that love to hide) will look for a heat source like fridge and freezer motors if there is an opening at the back, also stand-alone stove cookers. Look up, and see if there are any large trees the cat can climb and get stuck , check neighbours' and your own roof on top and inside cavity, do not forget any storm drains in the area. Contact the Lost Dogs Home North Melbourne or other pounds and check online to see if your cat has been picked up don't rely on a phone call sometimes things get missed and microchips can be faulty and not scan or migrate under the skin to other body parts and are not picked up always ask if the animal has had a full body scan when speaking to the Pounds/ Shelters. You may have to ring or email for an appointment. Check the Pounds/Shelters websites as they are always changing. Notify your local council and Vets in your area and report them missing. If microchipped, make sure your details are up to date and flag your cat as missing. Check if there are any vacant houses, as there was one lady whose cat had got itself locked in, as it had a pet flap that worked one way. Be on the lookout for any new construction eg. new homes ,factories, shops as they might have wandered in an got locked in. Always check your cars eg. engine, back of utes any visiting tradies just in case your cat has hitched a ride. Just remember your neighbours may not be on Facebook or on this site especially some elderly and non-English speaking folks . So don't rely on social media solely to find your pet. You will have to physically door knock take flyers with a pic of your cat. Don't forget to try the early 3am morning/late evening walk around when it's quiet, then they can hear your voice and will more likely come to you. Take a good torch and dry food and or roast chicken pieces to lure them out of hiding, you may have to take a cat carrier with you, so your cat if found is secure. Kittens are tricky customers, they look for a heat source but will hide in the most amazing places, you need to look in all the nooks and crannies around inside(couches ,beds,drawers) and outside your house. If new to your family ,usually they can be found hiding in dark secluded places like under houses ,sheds between fence lines check any cars inside and out any visiting tradie utes and trailers ,storm drains. Be mindful people have been on holidays ,cats get locked in garages sheds or houses ,it is a good time to do early or late walk around when it is quiet as you can hear if they are stuck , follow instructions above many people have great success with this . Also look if there are renovations or new builds in the area where they can get locked in , increase your search to blocks and extra streets ,if you cat has been spooked it may have travelled through many backyards . If you are near any schools get permission to check the grounds, sheds under buildings. If you live in an apartment(high rise) with underground parking and storage areas check every nook and cranny of the area, if you have a balcony check your neighbours as well especially if there are any vacant ones around. Leave some old clothing of yours ( it will have your scent on it)out for bedding . Put posters all around the communal spaces possible on your building and nearby apartments in your area . Your cat might be trying to go back to its previous address let your old neighbours know to keep an eye open and to contact you. Also, try early and late-night walkarounds at your old address.

I’m sorry your cat is missing. 💔 The following suggestions may help you find your cat, they have worked for me in the past: Try approaching your neighbors. Put up posters. Leaflet neighborhood if possible at least 1-2 streets on either-side of yours, that’s how my missing cat was identified on a neighbor’s property. Go door knocking, at least 3-4 properties on either side of yours and across the road and street behind. Speak to those neighbours and personally deliver a leaflet of your missing cat to them. Your neighbours may pay more attention if you speak with them. Ask your neighbours if any CCTV footage may have been captured of your cat, this can be really helpful in tracking your cat’s movements. Contact local vets, pounds and shelters. Post on other Facebook Lost pet/cat sites for more exposure. Your cat will be close by, from personal experience, one of my missing cat’s was located at my next door neighbor’s house and another time several years ago, my cat was just one street away. If you haven't already done so, make sure to report your cat missing with the microchip company where their microchip is registered to, that's how my cat was found and prevented a stranger from changing ownership of her. The best advice I can offer is to go out every night and search for your missing cat after dark, as this is often when you’ll have the most success. Call their name late at night or in the early hours of the morning, when everything is quiet and your cat can hear you more easily. Try going out between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., and take a strong torch with you. If possible, go out twice during the night at different times. In many cases, lost cats are hiding very close-by, sometimes just next door or a few houses away. This method has worked for me before. I hope you’re reunited with your kitty soon ❤️🙏🏼
