Please go out at night after traffic noise has down, shine flash light under bushes and things cat can hide under and also in trees. Check out any green spots looking back at you. Call cat and wait for a meow back. CRITICAL INCASE CAT IS TRAPPED SOMEWHERE; start from where cat went missing and workout for a radius of 2 miles, knock on doors and ask in person if they will check sheds, garages, window wells, and other outside buildings for cat. ALSO, put cats bed or an old pair of your tennis shoes to help cat know where your porch is. NOT, a litter box that will attract other animals that may keep your cat away. Scared cats usually don't travel far from where they go missing and will wait for YOU to come find them. Also stop by local shelters and rescues everyother day to see if cat has been. turned in. GOOD LUCK

Someone posted on nextdoor.com about a Bengal cat that was seen, with a photo. Not sure exactly where it was. I'm so sorry about your missing kitty, but cats are great survivors, and most lost pets do survive, so try to stay positive. I'm involved with lost pet rescue, and I'd like to share some information with you. Firstly, please don't respond to anyone posting about pet trackers that you contact on instagram. They are scammers! Just so you know, I respond to hundreds of lost & found pet postings every month, so I can't customize these for everyone. If you've done some or all of these things already, great! Put some water and food outside, especially some stronger smelling canned food or tuna, on a patio, preferably inside of a fenced area and in view of a security camera, if possible, so your kitty can smell it. Sometimes, lost kitties will come back at night and eat. You can also put them inside a garage, leaving a door cracked, but be careful. Some other critters and undesirable people could get in. You can also set up a remote camera, and if you see your kitty, then you can go out and wait for your kitty to show up again another night. Inside kitties who get lost usually don't go far, but can go into hiding, especially if they are already skittish or traumatized, or accidentally get locked into neighbor's sheds and garages. Walk the area, especially early morning or at night when it's quiet out and call for your kitty, maybe shaking a box of your kitty's favorite treats, then just stop and listen for an answer. Even if very verbal, sometimes lost and injured kitties are too scared to answer, which is a survival Instinct, but if it's quiet out, they may. Because cats are allowed to roam in most of Colorado, most people don't pay attention to kitties on the loose, so be sure to hand out flyers to all of your neighbors within at least 2-3 blocks, and put up large neon posters at every major intersection in your neighborhood. Also, post on nextdoor.com, Facebook lost and found pet pages, and other social media, and check with animal control, vets, and shelters in your area. Use pictures of your kitty standing up to show coloration, coat patterns, and markings. It may become necessary to set a live trap with the assistance of a lost pet rescue, but you need confirmed sightings. Let me know if you need help with this. If your kitty is allowed to roam, please consider keeping your cat indoors when he/she returns home. You can even build or buy a catio to give to your kitty safe exposure to the outside. For the last 50 years, all my indoor kitties have lived happy, healthy, and long lives. There are just so many things that can happen to a roaming cat, including being hit by a car, wild predators, poisons, being trapped someplace, and being victims of very evil people. They can also be a real nuisance to neighbors and their pets, and contribute to the feral cat population problem, especially if they are not neutered or spayed. The average lifespan of a roaming cat is only about 3 years. Please don't give up! About 75% of lost pets are found, and the reason most of the others are not is because the families just stop looking. Hope this info helps you get your kitty home safe and sound. My heart goes out to you!❤️
