⚠️ Time is of the essence so get outside ASAP. ▶️Go out OFTEN, several times, at various times of day. Especially during the quiet hours between dusk and early a.m. BUT ANYTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME TO LOOK! ⚠️ ➡️ STAY OUT for as long as you can each time. Search in ALL directions from your home. EXPAND your search area each time. 🐈‍⬛ Calmly call for or talk to him; so he doesn't hear the anxiety in your voice and stay hidden. ⏺️Use a flashlight to check for eye shine. Bring treats, toys, or a friend. ☑️Pause. Listen a lot. And listen long. 💦 Put out water bowls in several SHADY places. REFILL OFTEN PLEASE. 💦 ✅️ Hang out his bedding and some of your unwashed items for a scent trail. ✅️ Post on Nextdoor, Pawboost, Petco and the county website. ✅️ Check FB for your immediate neighborhood/area's chat group (s), there may be several. Join and post there. ✅️ Alert local veterinarians too. ➡️ Go door to door. Talk to EVERYONE. Leave a detailed note (or better yet, a flier) on EVERY door. ☑️Talk to passersby as well. Walkers often see things happening along the route. ⏺️Ask people to check security footage. ✴️ Make BIG BRIGHT POSTERS for your yard and streets so passersby can be on the lookout. 💟 Being outside is key. So please spend as much time as possible out in you yard and that area. P.S. Double check that the microchip has your current information. ☑️☑️ #tabby #tabbycat #browntabby

General Information: 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. 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.
