Also put out dirty clothes. Cats have a keen sense of smell.

As many neighbors as you could talk to. The more people looking out for your cat the better. Good luck. I know how it feels.

Put up flyers. Talk to neighbors they may have seen him. Have them check any sheds they have. Go out at night with the flashlight and some treats. Call for him. This may take a while. It took my kitty cat about a week to come home.

How to Find a Lost Cat • Do a thorough search of your home, garage, and surrounding “out buildings” (shed, pool house, etc.). Don’t forget to look carefully in closets, cabinets, your attic and bat, and even your clothes dryer. Ask your neighbors if you could look under crawl spaces, decks and porches, sheds, garages. Carry a bag of yummy cat treats with you, shaking it and calling their name while you look. One of the best times to search is late at night or the middle of the night when it’s most quiet. Also, the flashlight will reflect off of their eyes before you can see them. • Take your bag of cat treats or some warmed up tuna outside with you and call their name. Your cat might be lurking nearby, even if you can’t see them. Be diligent, the cat may be spooked and will not come out of hiding until they feel ready and safe to do so even if they hear you calling them. • Contact your microchip and/or tag company to let them know your cat is missing. • Contact all veterinary clinics, hospitals, and animal ERs in your area. • Report lost to CMPD Animal Care & Control and monitor their website (they update their website with found pets so check throughout the day, every day), someone may have brought your pet there or they may have been picked up. You can create a lost report by uploading a photo of your pet along with specific details, or call 311. Special Note: Please know that the shelter no longer takes in adult cats that reside outside; this could be an owned indoor/outdoor cat or a community cat and there is no leash law so they are allowed to roam. Learn more about community cats and what to do if you see a cat outside. They will only pick up a cat if it’s sick or injured. If someone brings in a “stray” that appears healthy, they will ask the Good Samaritan to return the cat to where they found it. Pet Harbor updates every hour so owners can look at a current inventory for their lost pet. Owners should come to the shelter every day to look for their lost pet in person (in combination with watching Pet Harbor and checked social media lost/found pages). To see if your pet has been found in the community, or if it was brought to Animal Care & Control, go to: https://charlottenc.gov/AnimalsCMPD/lostandfound/Pages/default. You can make up a flyer and email it to accfacebook6@gmail.com. You can create a flyer at www.ReturnMyPet.com or at pet bond.com/flyerentry.php. They will post the flyer on their website so that it can be circulated. • Ask your friends and neighbors to keep an eye out for your missing cat around the neighborhood. • Plaster your neighborhood and town with “Lost Pet” posters.
