General Information: Cats have a keen sense of smell. Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. NO CAT BOX OR FOOD (as that attracts predators) . Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

Oh no. URGENT Please try to do everything I’m telling you to do. My ministry is to help people find their cats. If your cat was an indoor cat only it will be very close to home hiding somewhere. Indoor cats are afraid to be outside. Check all bushes and other things. Your cat will be very close by. In addition, it’s critical that you check all your neighbors backyards and their garages. Knock on everybody’s doors and ask if you can check. Also, very very important to post flyers everywhere. Post them on all lampposts and stop signs for miles and miles. This can really save your Cats life. The best tape to use this duct tape. Make sure these flyers are up every day. Also call your shelter. Often people bring cats to shelters. Call them several times. Fax a flyer of your Cat over there. Who knows maybe someone may bring your cat there next week or the following week. It’s also critical for you to post on all lost pet sites and nextdoor.com your neighborhood watch. Please make sure you do this not everyone is on Facebook. Also walk around for several blocks look for your cat. Get all your friends and family to help you look. When it gets dark out, you must use a flashlight look for your cat when it’s quiet bring some cat food and call its name. Ask your neighbors if you can check their ring cameras. Leave your garage door cracked open. Also, please keep checking Pawboost to see if someone has found your cat and has shown a picture. Make sure you check every single day. I pray you get your baby back as soon as possible.

🚨 LOST INDOOR CAT – URGENT TIPS TO HELP BRING THEM HOME SAFELY 🚨 If your cat has gone missing and is usually indoors, here are critical steps to take: 🏠 Create a Safe Way for Your Cat to Return • Leave a door or window open (ideally the one they escaped from), even overnight - cats often return in the quiet late-night or early-morning hours. • Crack your garage door slightly to allow safe entry. • Place your worn, unwashed clothes up off the ground outside - your scent can help guide them home. • Do NOT place food, water, or litter boxes outside - these can attract other animals and deter your cat from returning. 🐾 Help Them Feel Safe • If you have other pets, keep them secured in a separate room to avoid scaring the missing cat away if they return. 🧭 Search Nearby and Alert Others • Cats typically don’t go far - they may be hiding under decks, in bushes, sheds, garages, or yards close to home. • Talk to your neighbors and ask them to check around their property. • Request that neighbors check doorbell or security cameras (like Ring) for sightings. 📣 Spread the Word – Not Everyone Uses Social Media • Put up physical signs ASAP - include a clear photo and contact info. • Post online in multiple places: • Facebook (your page and local lost pet groups) • Nextdoor • PawBoost Lost & Found • Ring Neighbors app ⚠️ Beware of Scams • If someone contacts you saying they have your cat and asks for money or asks you to verify a code, do NOT respond - this is a scam.
