LOST PET TIPS Things to do ASAP if you have lost your pet: • BEWARE OF SCAMS! Do not send money or google codes. Report or block scam phone numbers. • Place scent items & a food station near escape point. • Instruct everyone to not call out to or chase. • File Reports with Police, shelters that cover your area • If microchipped - report to chip company that your pet is lost & verify your information is up-to-date • If you have an electric fence - turn it off • If lost from a fenced yard - secure other pets & open gate • Spread the word: use social media, lostmydoggie, nextdoor, pawboost • Create a simple flyer • Notify neighbors, ask them to check cameras, sheds, garages • Check Shelters in person • Record all sightings in a notebook - date, time, location, direction of travel.

Go outside especially at dusk and call him and jiggle a cat food bag or treats bag. Call him like you would call him inside your home. Look under bushes and shrubs and under vehicles too or anywhere a cat might hide. Post his pic at local veterinary clinics and grocery stores. Keep calling him frequently throughout the day, evening, and early morning hours. He may have climbed up a tree too and doesn't know how to get down. Please share this on your Facebook and to the Nextdoor Neighbor and/or Ring apps for your area for more visibility. Not everyone is on fb or on Neighbor and/or Ring apps. Also please share this in lost and found pets organizations in your area and look them up on Facebook. You can call and get the list; they may be able to help you.

Lost Cat Recovery Checklist Immediate Actions ■ Start searching close to where she got out (cats usually hide nearby). ■ Check high & low hiding spots: under cars, porches/decks, shrubs, garages, sheds. ■ Ask neighbors to check open garages/sheds and closed spaces before shutting doors. Best Times to Search ■ Search during quiet/dark hours (best: 12am–7am, especially 1–6am). ■ Use a strong flashlight at night to spot eye reflection. Calling & Approaching ■ Call for her during still hours (overnight/early morning). ■ If you see her: stay calm and quiet (don’t chase). Scent Lures (Safe Options) ■ Put outside: her bed/blanket or your unwashed clothing/bedding. ■ Place scent items near the trap and/or leading toward the door. ■ Do NOT place a litter box outside (can attract predators such as coyotes). Food / Feeding Station ■ Set up a feeding station and feed during the day only. ■ Do NOT leave food out overnight (attracts wildlife & scares cats off). Humane Trap (Highly Recommended) ■ Get a live/humane trap ASAP. ■ Use food only inside the trap (don’t leave food elsewhere). ■ Cover trap with a tarp/blanket for safety and comfort. ■ Check trap frequently—never leave it unattended overnight. ■ In harsh weather: check every 30 minutes. Outreach (Very Important) ■ Post flyers around the neighborhood with phone number (day/night contact). ■ Bring flyers to local vets, shelters (go in person every few days if possible), and pet stores. ■ Tell your mail carrier (they notice roaming pets). ■ Ask known stray feeders/rescuers if they’ve seen her. Mindset ■ Keep checking at different times daily. ■ Don’t give up—cats can be found weeks or months later
