🐾 MOGGIES & DOGGIES – ESCAPED 🏡INDOOR CAT🏡 ADVICE 🐾 (What to do if your indoor cat has slipped out) ✅ Stay calm & search nearby immediately Indoor cats rarely go far at first. Check your garden, neighbours’ gardens, under cars, sheds, and bushes. 🔦 Search at night or early morning Use a torch — scared cats often hide in silence, and their eyes reflect in light. 📣 Call softly & listen Speak in a gentle, familiar voice. Shake treats or tap their food bowl. Be patient — they may hide quietly. 👕 Put familiar scents outside Place their bedding, a favourite blanket, or a worn jumper near doors and windows to help guide them home. 🥫 Leave a small amount of food & water Strong-smelling food like tuna can help lure them back, but don’t leave large quantities overnight. 🪧 Alert your community Post in local Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and put up posters with a photo, location, and contact info. 🏥 Call local vets & rescues Indoor cats are often handed in by neighbours or found wandering frightened. 📌 Report them to the microchip company Ensure your indoor cat is flagged as lost in the database. 🏛️ Contact your local council / stray animal service Some found cats are reported there first. ❤️ Don’t panic if they don’t appear immediately Indoor cats are often hiding nearby and may return on their own after a day or two.

Please check garages, garden bushes if neighbours etc YOURSELF. Your cat will most likely respond to you. Leave shed doors etc open for a good time, be patient ok. Take treats and water xxxGo out late at night or early hours of morning when it's quiet and safer for cats to cross roads and come out of hiding. Try to search by thinking of your home as centre of a circle. Go to edge of circle, then start calling, stop, listen hard, repeat slowly all the way back home. Repeat from different points on circle. If your cat hears you they will follow your voice in the right direction. Do same when door knocking. Your cat could be laying low to feel safe.

Hang items of your unwashed clothing outside your home so he can pick up your scent Repeat every 2days. If possible leave a door or window ajar for access Call late at night and early mornings shaking the treats.Go out in your garden between 2am and 4am call listen and wait.Put posters up especially on your outdoor bin and in car window.Leaflet drop in your area and physically ask and go with neighbours to check their sheds and garages.Phone local vets.Good luck

Is Shadow neutered and chipped? If chipped then let them know he's missing. Ask neighbours for sightings 👀. I'll keep an eye 👁 out on camera and trap. As we are still missing our Sonny 🐈‍⬛

My cat is also lost around this area, I'll keep an eye out whilst I'm looking for mine. Hopefully Shadow is hiding and will come back when it's quiet. 🤞🏽 Cookie Jah

Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite out .. Might wait in between to see if you hear them meow nearby .... For indoor cats if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out and will often come back in on their own .. If you didn't see them get out check deep dresser drawers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, under beds in box springs, behind the frig, the stove, behind or under the sofa, under or in the recliner the washer/dryer or inside if left open .. basement crawl space .. attic .. anywhere small or behind a cat can hide they will! If out cats will hide during the day and are more active late evening near dark to early morning , daybreak ... have a spot light to shine to see eyes in the dark .. they are usually close by and will often come back to the door .. or hide under bushes or decks to feel safe ! Also check crawl spaces under houses , garages, sheds of neighbors nearby ...No food out after dark it will attract area strays and wildlife to the area ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and colder weather they will get under car hoods for warmth and on tires also ...this can happen and they could be miles from home . Cats in a new home need at least 30 days to adjust to a new area and may and will travel to get back to their old home .. In some cases a set trap may be needed and monitored! A Trail cam or night vision goggles can help to monitor the areas outside! Post to Nextdoor Ask neighbors to check their Ring Doorbells... Beware of loose and roaming dogs in the area as they will chase and your cats! For automatic garage doors please place a 6x6 block or cinder block so that the door will not come all the way down and trap your pet as they can be injured! Check with area Shelters, Animal Control, and Vets offices also put flyers ... Am sure you have tried most all of these! Don't give up!!
