Notify non-emergency police, animal control and the postal carriers in the area were lost. Check with neighbors or businesses nearby that may have cameras. Put a neon sign in your yard. Fill out lost reports with both Lost Dogs/Cats Illinois website www.petfbi.org and Pawboost website (choose not to pay for ads and it’s free!) They will generate a flyer for you to print. Post in lost animal sites and community sites on FB. Put up flyers at nearby stores/gas stations, pet stores, libraries, and give some to pizza delivery places to put on their boxes. Put the outside flyers in a gallon sized freezer bag to protect from the elements. You can also try bus companies to put a flyer on their buses. Let the kids in the area know as they notice everything when not on their phones. Put food and water out and something with your scent. Check in nearby garages, sheds, window wells, ponds, look under decks. Also check with shelters in person or call as many as you can and give them a flyer. If the animal is chipped notify the company and make sure your contact info is correct. Also let vet and groomers in the area know. Can see if anyone has a drone to help search especially if woods nearby. Please also be aware of scammers. Especially if you are giving a reward. Do not give them a code or anything they ask. Tell them you will give them the reward at the police station for both of your safety. 🙏🏻 for a reunion soon! Don’t give up hope!

List kitty on all the lost registry sites asap. PetFBI LostMyKitty PetcoLoveLost Pawboost Fido Alert and your County Animal Services. Use the flyers they make for you. Flyers and live trapping work the best. No Litter box it can attract other cats that will then mark his territory and attracts predators. Put water out 24/7 try a bit of food during the day. Get kitty listed on all the lost sites and printout their flyers and put up near you and further out at major crossroads. Live trapping works too. Your shirt over and kitty's favorite food or stinky tuna in it. Placed near a door you can frequently monitor to see if the trap has been tripped. Flashlight at night for glowing eyes. Call softly. Shake treat bag frequently. Garage door leave up 6”. Alert neighbors kitty's missing. To look under their bushes and decks and inside work sheds and garages. Good luck! 👍🏾
