Wumy Blue please take it to vet to check for microchip. Then call rescue if owner can't be traced

Borrow a trap from a rescue and set it just before dusk where he was seen with owner's worn clothing, his bed, smelly food( KFC minus the bones, tuna etc). Cover trap and watch it .

Is the cat back ? Got a visitor in the backyard today, looked very skinny and scared but didn't want to go away even with a dog around! Got water and some chicken! Was eating and drinking very slow. Area is Vale Park/Klemzig

Door knock neighbours and ask them to check their sheds and gardens. Do a leaflet drop to all neighbours including those at the back of your house and in the streets nearby. Check down nearby drains incase he has jumped down and can't get back up. Go out at night when its quiet and call him. Hope you find him soon and well

To the owner shared, be proactive place dirty clothes of yours with scent on washing line with kitty bedding, blanket with their smell on it. The scent travels several blocks and will bring kitty safely home soon. Tried and true this works 🐾💕 TIPS ON FINDING A LOST CAT. There is a technique called the 3am walk that has worked for a lot of people reunited with their pets. Common sense would tell you to do this in pairs and only with adults. Displaced or scared cats will often remain in hiding and completely silent for most of the day and night. Even if it is close by and can hear you, it is unlikely your cat will respond. Because of this, the best time to head outside and call her/him is between 3-4am. It can vary between 2-6 am, whenever your area is most quiet. It may take a few nights of trying this method too. Most recently, a good number of people have found their cats just from doing a 3am walk and call. Your cat is most likely to respond and leave its hiding spot around this small window of quiet time. It only takes a couple of fence jumps to land streets away, so do your best to cover as many streets as you can. Hopefully your cat is only a house or two away from where it escaped. Tap a can calling your cats name or shaking the dry food bag/box calling their name and saying what you usually say to call them to dinner or breakfast time. Leaflets and knocking on doors: Its also a good idea to ask neighbours if you can check their yards, sheds, garages and roof spaces. If you can give them a printed leaflet with a picture of your lost cat and your phone number. Leave these at shops too. Indoor escape artists usually stick close to home and we often see a great outcome because of this.....Expect your cat to remain in hiding for most of the day and night. Displacement often changes the behaviour of cats. This means a normally vocal cat may keep quiet. Timid cats especially may spend some weeks in hiding before becoming visible. Even then, they are not likely to be seen during daylight. It is also unlikely that your cat will respond to being called during daylight. As a result, many people mistakingly believe their cat is no longer close by. An inside cat won't have gone too far. Start on your own property with a torch (even in the daylight, yes) and look under your house (if it is on stumps/piles) under any decking, under all vehicles, in the wheel arches, under upturned wheelbarrows, piles of iron, roofing tiles, underneath any outbuildings, dog kennel, wood piles, under or behind a garden shed, wheelie bins, inside skip bins, shipping containers, car boots or under the car bonnet. Under all garden shrubbery along driveways and footpaths. And then do the same with your near neighbours. Don't ask your neighbours to look, 'cos they probably won't. Ask them if you can look in their yards. Don't forget over the back fence too. Take your cat carrier with you, so when you find puss, pop straight into the carrier, so he doesn't squirm out of your arms when carrying home. Don't forget to look up as well. If chased up a tree or on to a roof. I hope Ollie is home safely soon. Be aware microchipped chips can displace on the run if microchipped so contact AWL and RSPCA found cats daily. People do move cats out of lost areas sometimes so check out all areas similar cats found 🙏🐾💕
