Lost Cats I hope my tips & cat video help you! Watch the video from Petco foundation that shows how cats hide and gives info to help with your search. https://www.facebook.com/FrontStreetAnimalShelter/videos/388310901737884/ If you can, leave a door or window cracked open, or garage in case kitty comes back. Cats may return on their own. Put items with your scent outside- you’re dirty sheets or unwashed, clothing. Place these items and fur combed from cat tree or cat bedding and place these items over a humane trap or in a trail to the front door. Place your kitty's bed, cat tree & litter box outside. Indoor cats that get out are usually no further than 3 houses away. Watch video which shows his they hide. Ask neighbors if you can look for your cat on their property such as garages, sheds, or backyards . Don’t forget to look and search any trees in a 1 to 2 block radius to see if your cat can be up there. This happened to a cat owner and she was looking all over and finally found her cat stuck in a tree. Sometimes cats will try to come back inside very late when it's dark and quiet when they feel it's safe to come out. Cats generally stay close by, so look under bushes, cars, up trees.. Most indoor cats go into survival mode and hide. Most will not respond when in "survival mode." Call your cat's name softly, listen for a meow, and look for eyes with a flashlight. They still may not come out if they hear your voice softly since they are hiding and scared. Best time is the middle of the night/ super early morning. Ask your neighbors to check their garages. File a lost pet report with the Humane Society. Check daily online for found stray cats photos on the San Diego Humane Society's website. - [ ] Post on sites: - [ ] Next door - [ ] Pawboost - [ ] Lost & Found Pets of San Diego, CA - [ ] Santee, CA Todays News and Information - [ ] lostmykitty.com You can try to contact Babs fry, she is a recovery specialist who did donate her time for free in the search for lost pets: 619-249-2221. Or cat expert Debby at 619-760-613-9514. She’s an expert at helping find lost cats. (Not 100% sure If she still helps) Post lots of large flyers with big writing in many places. Ask your neighbors to check their Ring app which you know shows videos of what people’s cameras have seen. Put a “Lost Cat” sign on your property. Ask your neighbors. Hope you find your kitty soon. 😻 The unwashed clothing seems to really get them home. Another cat was found underneath a nearby car. Hope these tips work for you. Great video with tips to search for lost indoor cats!!! If you or someone you know loses their cat, this video will help get them home. Lost cat behavior is much different from lost dog behavior, so it's important to have the right strategy. We worked with pet detectives and national experts to create this in-depth, evidence-based video tutorial. Please share it with the world!

Sad to see so many kitties go missing 30+ just this weekend. Poor baby, he must be so scared and hungry out on his own. 🐈‍⬛ When a cat goes missing, they can’t easily find their way home using only their scent. You must be proactive and look for them. Look under your neighbor’s cars, bushes & hedges, look for glowing eyes w/flashlight, call him early evening when it’s quiet and they come out from hiding to eat. Posting is important, but please Search for him, too. They don’t go far 3-4 houses away, they stay in one place until they are scared off by dogs, coyotes, or loud equipment. The challenge is finding him before he runs further way. Please hang flyers near the area where he went missing, it’ll get the immediate attention from pedestrians and drivers. Let your neighbors know you’re looking for him. You’re the one that can bring him home safely, he will recognize your voice, footsteps and scent. Post on ND, check SDHS Lost & Found daily. If you’re able to find him, PLEASE please don’t let him go outside unattended. If he wants to go outside, train him to walk on a leash. 🙏🏼 This is Coyote Country!
