Urgent You must use every spare second you have to look for your cat. Indoor cats are very afraid to be outside. They are usually very close to home hiding under bushes or something. Please go to all your neighbors and ask them if you can check their backyards and their garages Cats have been known to hide in their neighbors backyards and in their neighbors garages. It is critical and most important that you post hundreds of flyers everywhere. Post them on all lamp posts and stop signs for miles and miles. I’ve heard several stories where people have seen the flyers, saw the cat roaming and called the owners. Make sure you do this immediately and use duct tape. Scotch tape is flimsy and the flyers fall down. Please make sure these flyers are up every day. They can save your cats life. If the gardeners take them down, put them back up. It is critical also that you call your shelter several times while your cat is lost and ask if someone has dropped your cat off there. Fax a flyer of your cat to them. Also, when it gets dark out at night, please get out with the flashlight look everywhere for your cat and call its name. Bring cat food. Listen for it meows. Not everyone is on Facebook so please post daily on all lost pet sites and nextdoor.com. Your neighborhood watch. Make sure your post is up every day. Someone may find your cat. Walk for blocks sometimes cats roam blocks away and can be in someone’s yard. Call your Cat’s name get everyone you know to get out and look for your cat. I pray you get your baby back as soon as possible. Your shelter is the Irvine animal shelter.

Check in bushes and under cars near your home, and check on the next street over, especially in the evening with a flashlight, calling out to him and making a familiar sound. And ask neighbors if he may be trapped in their garage or shed. I hope he is found soon🙏🏻

Your cat is most likely very close to your home. Most indoor only cats are found within 1.5 houses of the house they escaped from. Indoor only cats will be hiding out during the day and typically come out at night when it's dark and quiet as they feel more safe. The best thing to do is to talk to your neighbors during the day to see if they have seen your cat. Do NOT rely on social media. The best way to find your cat is on foot by talking to people during the day and looking outside very LATE at night. See if your neighbors can leave their garages and sheds open for a few hours. Your cat may not come out right away once the doors are opened. This is because when cats are in survival mode, they typically do not act normal. Your cat may be scared to come out when others are around. You can also print mini flyers and attach them to your neighbors' doors if they are not home. You can use painter's tape so that it is easy for the homeowner to remove. Also, post on Nextdoor to alert neighbors. Please make sure that your cat has a way to get back into your house 24/7. You want to leave open a garage door (including the door that goes from the garage to the house) sliding glass door, or window that they exited from as well as some of your recently worn clothing outside of the entry way. ***Do NOT put your cat's litter box outside as it can attract predators.*** You will have the best chance to find your cat from 11 PM until 6 AM. Cats become most active at 3 AM. Use a flashlight and shake a bag of their favorite treats while CALMLY talking (in a normal voice) to your cat.
