I hope you find Tiger soon.😻 The ideas I’m sharing are from a study of 1,232 lost cats by Dr. Jacquline Rand, an animal expert. The number one method that was the most successful in recovering a missing cat was conducting a physical search of the area. Most escaped indoor-only cats were roughly a 2 ½ house radius from their owner’s home. They are so frightened by their outdoor surroundings that they will hide. They may not even come if you call for them. If your cat knows the area and is comfortable outside, it would be considered an Indoor/Outdoor cat. They may go further away (17-house radius). They know where their home is, something else has stopped them from coming home. They may have been scared away by an another cat or predator, they could be accidentally stuck somewhere. Start with the homes that are close by. However, you may need to expand the search area. Asking neighbors to look for your cat can be tricky. They will say yes, but often they are unable or unwilling to do a deep search. Most people will let you know if they see the cat. However, many people are unable to get down on the ground and look under a deck or automobile. They will go into a shed, but may not be able or willing to move items and do a deep search. Take a flyer with information and ask the neighbors in the surrounding homes if YOU can search under their deck or in their garage, or do it together. That is where they are most likely to be . Obtaining permission from your neighbor to search their property is critical. One lost cat owner got permission from the neighbors to do a search on their property in the early morning hours (3 to 5 AM is a key time) and late at night. They also contacted the police to let them know they were doing a search. Good idea! They found their cat in their neighbor’s driveway. There have been a couple of recent postings from pet owners who found their cat in a drainage ditch or pipe, behind an air conditioner and in a window well. If you have other animals, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. Owners often see their cat on the property late at night or in the early hours. Many have reported their cat actually came up onto their porch, but were unable to get back in. If it is safe, leave a garage door or entry door partially open. Ask neighbors to check their Ring camera. Many people are successful trapping their cats. Some rescue organizations will rent or let you borrow humane traps . There are some good YouTube videos on how to trap your cat. Note: DO NOT put a litter box or food out. Cats instinctively cover up their waste to protect themselves . The litter box and food will attract predators and Tom cats that could chase your cat further away from home. Place some dirty socks, clothing, and pillow cases etc. with your scent on them outside, near where they exited. YOUR scent will attract your kitty. Refresh the items every day to keep the smell strong. Again, don’t put food, or items with your cat’s smell on them out. You don’t want other cats coming around. Your cat knows the surrounding area if it is an outdoor cat. Using a humane trap to lure your cat in could help. Make mini flyers with a photo and contact information . Hand them out to your neighbors and anyone in the area that will listen. There are some people who don’t go on social media. Post a large sign in your yard ,or in a common area. Make it the size of a Political or Realty sign. LOST CAT LIVES HERE ! PLEASE HELP! Include a photo or description and contact information. Bicycle riders, runners, walkers, delivery people etc. will see the poster. Contact local shelters, the Humane Society, pet care businesses, and groomers. Get on every pet loss group that you can. Ask your mail carrier, neighborhood workers and delivery people to be on the lookout. I hope your cat is home soon. Stay strong ❤️
