Here is the advice for your cat who is Lost 🐈‍⬛LOST CATS: Please follow my (original) advice. No litter box outside, no food outside. It will attract other animals including other cats who will keep your cat away if trying to return home. If you have a garage- set and MONITOR a humane cat trap on your garage at morning dusk and evening dusk especially. Use to food I lost below. Cover the trap with a towel. ⬇️ Distribute Flyers- by knocking on doors to your neighbors and handing them out, and posted them on poles etc. as well even to any businesses close by? This step is crucial to recovering your cat! Speak to people in person. I cannot stress enough, the importance of knocking on doors speaking to people and handing them a “lost cat” flyer at the same time. This is how you get sightings and this is what will bring your cat home. GARAGE- If you have a garage set and monitor the humane trap in the garage leaving the garage open a little for the cat to find its way in. Please use the food I recommend and heat in microwave for 10 seconds before putting in the human trap. Must be home and MONITOR the trap. If you get a sighting you need to set and MONITOR a humane trap at the sighting location right away and at morning dusk. *NEVER LEAVE A TRAP UNATTENDED. You can use rotisserie chicken and Friskies Whitefish and Sardines canned food as bait. Cats usually stay within a one mile radius from home. Most are found very close to home as in a few houses away or next street over. They are usually found (after getting sightings and with trapping) very close to their own home. Some come home on their own, usually in the overnight hours. Concentrate on canvassing your own neighborhood, however, in case the sighting was not of your cat. Cats don’t usually go far. They usually will try to return home between 10 PM and 5 AM with peak hours being 3-5 AM. Put a worn shirt of yours on your porch or near the door and continue to replace with a fresh one daily. Do NOT put a litter box outside. It will attract male unneutered cats who will spray property and chase your cat away if trying to return home. Some cats stay hidden for 3 weeks traveling at night. Flyers generate sightings.

This is probably your nearby neighbors Indoor Outdoor Cat. Please don’t remove the cat anywhere or give the cat to anyone. The cat should not stay in the trap. You need to check with your neighbors. Even Indoor/ Outdoor cats have legal owners. This is the reason that you should not trap randomly. Meaning don’t trap in your yard or anywhere else without a sighting. If there are known cats around and you do have a sighting and you need to set a trap, then you need to secure the trap somewhere bit on the outside of where the other cats are to protect them from going in. I’ll post separate advice for your lost Cat. 🐈‍⬛Found Cat Protocol- Follow the Law Please follow: 🐾Just remember found animals cannot be re-homed by you. You have to make an effort by law to find the owner and if not turn over to Animal Control who will take to the shelter your town contracts with. ⬇️ Please knock on your neighbors door’s within a mile radius of where you found the cat. It’s the law to report a found pet to the local police department as well as Animal Control and should also be reported to the shelter that Animal Control for the town contracts with. Owners who have lost their pets will make a LOST pet report and Police and Animal Control work together to reunite the found pets. Lost cats have patterns and they usually stay within a mile and most are found much closer to home as in a couple houses away or next street over. Hand out cat flyers, speak to people. Post flyers up on poles as well. Please be sure to get proof of ownership before handing the cat over. Call the local police and Animal Control to see if there was a missing pet report made the matches. Take to any Vet for the free service of scanning for a microchip. And thank you for helping this Kitty. Animals choose their rescuers. We cannot let them down. K.R.
