🐾 📣 Open Escape for Reentry‼️ If still nearby, keep looking and listening for meowing. Keep point of escape open for reentry with a can of smelly food inside of house. Kitty will try to get back in from either fear, hunger, thirst, weather or comfort. 👉 I’m noticing a pattern of return around 3am or 4am. ➡️ If you can’t leave an opening in your home for reentry and you have a garage, open the door about 6” up with food and water placed in back of room or find some place where cat may shelter and leave food (lamb chop seems to entice) & water there. 🐾📌 If cat is an indoor cat it should be very near still and hiding in fear. • Search Immediately - Look under bushes, under porch, under deck including any small place they can crawl into & corners they can back into, look in-between fences, check car engines, on top of car tires & under cars, look up in the trees, in window wells, nearby sewers, garages, behind garages, sheds, behind sheds. Look in all corners of the above and under items in those places. Most of the time they back themselves into a corner and remain quiet, even to you because they’re scared. Listen for the slightest noise of movement and move items around and use that flashlight. • Go out at dark with a flashlight and search. Look for glowing eyes. •Some cats have been found at the house directly behind the house cat was missing from. • Get a night vision motion detector video camera with sound that sends notifications to your cell phone and you’ll know if you’re pet is around. Aim outside at each door, where food is placed and at the humane trap. Any camera such as Ring, Arlo, anything that records. • Some people have found downloading a Cat Meowing App and playing it, draws out the cat. •Shelter- Place near where cat escaped adding straw (not hay), some catnip inside and on a toy. Throw toy in back of shelter and watch to see if taken out and played with. ➡️ 📌 More Exposure! •Post on Neighbors by Ring App or on NeighborsRing.com. It alerts the community in radius of up to 5 miles around your home anonymously. •Post on Nextdoor App or on Nextdoor.com. •Post on LostMyKitty.com (they have lost & found sections you can list on & they send out emails about kitty & you remain anonymous). •If microchipped, notify chip company & they’ll send out alerts. 👉During the winter months cats will look for a place to keep warm & they’ll want to seek shelter from the rain, cold and snow. ✋This is from a study that was done on lost cats: • Cats are very different from dogs when panicked. They are territorial and your cat’s territory was inside of your home. Once a cat is transplanted into unfamiliar territory, fear sets in and it seeks shelter because it is afraid. They panic immediately and look to hide usually near the escape point or within a 5-house radius of their home where they've never been before. Cats that are afraid (and cats that are injured) will seek areas of concealment such as under a deck, under a house, under a porch, or in heavy brush and they will not meow! Panicked cats hide in silence. Silence is their only protective measure from predators. They can stay concealed for days, sometimes weeks! Just because you don’t see or hear your cat DOES NOT mean he or she is not right there, hiding in fear from the loud noises, etc. they will not meow! Meowing would give up their location to a predator. Their behavior has nothing to do with whether the cat loves you, whether it recognizes your voice, or whether it can smell you–it has everything to do with the fact that a frightened cat will hide in silence! • The Threshold Factor: Many of these cats initially hide in silence, but eventually break cover and meow, return to their home or the escape point (window or door), or finally enter a humane trap. While some cats take only hours or a few days to reach their threshold, many others take several days (typically ten to twelve days) before they break cover. We suspect the threshold is reached due to their thirst. • In an attempt to capture your cat, use humane traps in your yard or in your neighbor’s yard where your cat is likely hiding in fear. •If you choose not to use a trap, place small amounts of cat food & water out and hopefully you’ll eventually be able to determine where the cat is hiding. Written by Donna Harman 📌 Please Take Our Tips: TAKE OUR SUGGESTIONS NO MATTER HOW CRAZY THEY SOUND TO YOU Put a pile of unlaundered clothing, bedsheets, pillowcases and socks on your lawn and hang some from your fence/bushes. Empty the contents of used litter box and household vacuum cleaner bag/canister across the lawn. Leave bowls of smelly food out - tuna/sardines, rotisserie or Kentucky fried chicken Turn on BBQ - cook hot dogs and bacon. SCENT IS EVERYTHING !! Do these things right now! FLIERS MUST GO UP ASAP TO GET SIGHTINGS. Every pole/tree/neighbors stoops/porches. Offer reward. Give fliers to mailman, UPS drivers, fed ex drivers, etc. Local supermarket, dry cleaners, drug store should have a flier. Call local precinct and report the cat as lost. Ditto for shelters. You must visit shelters - the person on the phone doesn't know every pet brought in. Delegate to friends so that you get the posters up ASAP!!!! Go out searching, especially when it's dark and quiet - early AM and later in evening. Carry tuna and heated Kentucky Fried Chicken for scent. Bring a bag of treats to shake when you call out cat’s name and then stop and listen for faint meowing. (We've recently reunited cats that were stuck in neighbor's sheds/garages!) Look under bushes, in/behind sheds, or neighbor's porches with flashlight. It'll make the cat's eyes glow so you can spot it. Don't drive around! If your cat is an indoor only cat, it hasn't travelled more than 2-4 blocks away. Look on your neighbor's properties. Written by Josephine Chianetta & Anita Maria

Remember, scent items are very important. And go out and calmly talk and call him/her like you normally would. They sense distress in your voice and will not come or respond so be calm. Also look up in trees under porches/decks, look at night with a flashlight as their eyes glow in the light. If possible set up cameras. She/he wants to come back, but is just scared and needs guidance. Cats hunker down when they are afraid so try to help him/her find their way back. They will try to come back in the way they got out so keep a point of entry open if at all possible. Good luck 🤞🙏

Make a shelter for him with some clothes with your scent on them as well as some smelly food like sardines in it. If possible, keep the door that he got out if open slightly and if that doesn't work I used Kelly Brach from Professional Pet Trackers to help find my cat that was missing for 2 weeks. She has 3 highly trained dogs that track the cat's scent. Her dog pinpointed the location and we set traps and 3 days later caught the cat. This cat was a Foster and not familiar or bonded with us. He was caught in the bushes 3 houses away from us and that was exactly where the dog led us. I would not have believed it unless I saw it myself. So important to know about this service.
