How to Find Your Lost Cat
The best thing to do is put their litter box and bed or something that has your scent on the porch. Go out late, after 11:00PM and again at midnight and at 1:00AM, and call him as loudly as you feel OK with in the neighborhood. Maybe 2-3 times each night. Play a sound that mimics a cat on your phone.
The later you go out the better chance you'll have to hear him and for him to hear you. Walk slowly and listen very carefully; the little beasties just love to explore other folks' garages and places that may close them inside.
Carry stinky wet food and wave the can around so the smell is dissipated.
* Don't get discouraged and don't stop looking every single night! *
Kitty most probably didn't go too far away.
All of them were very scared and hungry!
Also: Make signs to hang/hand out around the area
If you add a photo you can get two signs per page: Be concise but specific, use bullet points and hard returns after each line, e.g.
- Tabby cat. Young.
- Grey with black stripes.
- Black collar.
- Neutered male.
- De-clawed.
Plus add tear-off tabs with your name and phone number. Besides posting them on lamp posts, also knock on neighbors' doors. Give each of them one as well. Slip a copy into the mailbox. Not only your block, but the street behind yours as well.
And of course look for Kitty at Abilene Animal Shelter 925 South 25th Street
Taking a peek online is good, but an in-person visit to the kitty cages is better
Good luck!
