Try lostmykitty.com they have a service that sends out a lost pet alert to the phones in your area with a description and your phone number asking people to check their basements, garages and sheds. There is a fee, but that’s how I found my cat. If you can print out flyers, give some to the mail carriers and your neighbors and put them on their porches as well as on telephone poles. Also give them to the animal shelters and the veterinarians offices. If there are businesses nearby, ask if you can put a flyer in their window. 🙏💔

Patti Williams I rescue missing cats and have for many years! People will never learn!! It’s common sense put the cat in a carrier when traveling!!

Cats missing in unfamiliar territory one person he trusts should go back after dark to where you last saw him, sit down with a carrier & start talking to him in your normal voice to see if you hear him respond. Others can wait quietly in the vehicle. Your cat is likely hunkered down there hiding, very frightened. They may respond to you, but they may not. If you can do this for a couple nights in a row, that would be good because hunger may make him respond to you a few nights later. If they don’t respond to you, have a flashlight with you & start looking under places where a cat could hide, under sheds, porches, decks, bushes, etc. If you still don’t have any luck, then you really need to get humane traps set up around there at night when they’re most likely to venture from their hiding place but you want to monitor the traps, so that may mean sitting in your vehicle with the window down enough that you’ll hear the trap go off. They likely won’t respond to you or come out during the day. Your best chance is in the middle of the night. Take a cat carrier with you & if you see them, do not chase them or stand up. Sit down & try to coax them to come to you by having some tuna with you. The smaller you appear, the less intimidating you are. Taking some of your dirty laundry with you for scent isn’t a bad idea either. Once you set traps, you can place fresh dirty laundry next to them. Motion activated game/trail cameras can be very helpful for sightings. If there are buildings around there with outdoor security cameras, you definitely want to work with them for sightings. Make flyers & put one on the front door of every house & business using blue painter’s tape (so it doesn’t leave a mark), with your contact information & at least one photo of your cat. Ask people to check their outside security cameras, especially after dark for sightings & to not attempt to catch your cat if they see it. They should simply note the time & exact location of where they see it so you can then set a humane trap there with their permission.

Never put a cat’s litter box outside it will draw predators that will keep your cat from returning home and possibly harm your cat.

Lost Cat Advise - [ ] - [ ] Cats usually do - [ ] not go too far unless chased but look for food/shelter while lost . If - [ ] you can, leave a familiar blanket or "bed" might help, even a slept in bed sheet of yours, and some of her favorite person's worn unwashed clothing (for scent)..under cover if raining .... -Ask neighbors and people in the area to check their garages/sheds...check underneath also/.....outside crawl spaces, basements (those with outside access)...help them search if possible. Also search under decks/porches, woodpiles, STORM DRAINS!!, outside crawl spaces....trees, roofs, ledges...bushes, wooded areas, empty buildings... ANYWHERE she might try to HIDE or become TRAPPED (under, inside of, on top of). ....use a flashlight even in the daylight to search dark areas (like back in dark corners) to catch eye gleam -Flood area with flyers...crucial for sightings.. (if possible, at least a 5-6 block radius). . Go door to door in your area/neighborhood passing out flyers and talking to people. -Notify local animal control and local vets. Post a lost Craigslist ad and check found cat ads. . ... -VISIT THE LOCAL SHELTERS IN PERSON, calling is NOT enough...You need to walk through to see that your cat is not there on stray hold. Go often and leave flyers with the shelters and area vets. Put a flyer in a car window...Also give a flyer to the local mailman, garbage man, joggers, dog walkers, utility workers, neighborhood kids, and UPS driver (they all cover a lot of ground). At night go out and shake a bag of treats, or a cat food bag/box, or carry an opened favorite cat food can (the smellier the better) or tuna fish can as you walk looking for her (most cats are active during the quiet hours of the night between 10pm and 5am but that can vary)...call her name QUIETLY and LISTEN OFTEN for a response....she could be hiding or trapped somewhere close. Use a flashlight (even in the daylight), see if you can catch the reflection from her eyes. Also a flashlight or laser pointer at night might get her attention and you may get her to follow straight into the house. You may have to literally search through bushes etc especially if she is really very frightened. Remember, you might be right near her calling her name but she is so terrified she might not respond for a while so RECHECK places. Check all possible places she may have crawled into to hide or seek shelter or become trapped. Crack a window open at night or set up a baby monitor to be able to hear any meowing outside.....Do you have a garage or enclosed porch door you can leave slightly ajar with food/water/worn clothing items inside? You can also...weather permitting.. try setting out a large box for her along with the other things (or her carrier if she doesn't mind it) for her to go in to (put her blanket or a sweatshirt of yours in it for her too).....be mindful of the weather ..monitor carefully in very hot or cold temperatures . If she is an indoor cat or if the situation is urgent, eventually you may have to set up a humane trap baited with tuna fish or mackerel or sardines or even fried chicken if she likes it ...cover with a blanket on the top and long sides that has her favorite person's scent or hers on it (monitor carefullyg because of the temps).. Hoping you find her soon safe and sound... - [ ]
