Post on LA City Lost and Found Pets, as well. Since your cat was lost in a public space - he will be hiding during the day. You need to go out there late at night (after midnight-3am) w/ his carrier (hopefully he associates this with going home) - put a towel or clothing that smells like you/home inside and on top of the carrier. Sit quietly nearby, speaking softly - have smelly treats: tuna, Churu paste cat treats, pieces of rotisserie chicken to help lure him over to you & the carrier. No sudden movements that might spook him — only when the time is right, grab him and firmly hold him against you while you get him safely into the carrier. If he gets free, he’ll probably hide again, and you’ll need to repeat this later that night or the following night. Also, you may want to post his on rescue network sites, such as LA Underground Cat Network - Cat Rescue Wing or @southern california cat & kitten rescue network 2.0 (tag not working), as trappers and/or community feeders in that area may see him. Good luck and best wishes. Tips for Lost Cats If you haven’t yet, leave some articles of your unwashed clothing (socks, shoes, t-shirt, a pillowcase) outside for him/her to smell home. Change these out daily to keep the scent fresh. Never leave food or a litter box out, as this attracts coyotes/predators. 📍>>If you can, starting tonight please leave a door or window (even a garage door) cracked open for him/her to return through, especially during the night when it’s quiet out and when cats are most active; this works well, but may take a few nights if they are in hiding. Leave the articles of clothing near the opening. It helps to leave some food out inside the home to help lure him/her in. Don’t give up - cats typically attempt to return home during the night/early morning hours (~1a-5a).<< (keep any other pets safe in a secure room while doing this) Your cat is probably hiding nearby. Go out late at night w/ a flashlight and look for your cat’s eyes. You can try shaking a treat bag if your cat normally responds to that. Check shrubs, under cars, crawl spaces, up in trees and on roof tops (in case your cat has been chased). If you see your cat outside, he/she may be too scared to come to you - sit quietly and have some tuna, Churu paste cat treats and even a wand-type toy to help lure them over to you. Have neighbors check their garages/sheds. Leave out some water, since it’s hot out. Post signs around the neighborhood (even further out at intersections in case kitty has been chased out of the area), since some people are not on social media. *Beware of scam calls/texts/emails/messages/comments. Post on NextDoor, Ring and on local Lost & Found Pets group pages. Check and notify surrounding animal shelters and leave flyers there - also, take flyers to vet offices/ER vets, where someone may take your cat for a chip scan. If microchipped, notify the chip company that your cat is missing. Update/verify contact info if needed. If you have motion sensing cameras, check them to see if kitty has returned to the yard. IF she/he is still young, she/he may respond to sweet, gentle meowing sounds - either do this yourself or download a cat communicator type app to your phone and play sweet, gentle, friendly meowing/purring sounds to lure her/him out of hiding.
