Go out early morning or after dark and quietly call your cat....chances are you cat is scared and hiding....take a flashlight ...if your cat doesn't come to you, shine it around to see if it catches it's eyes...under bushes and in the trees. Put a BIG, COLORFUL sign at the last place seen so people know where your cat belongs if they spot him or her…ask your neighbors to check sheds, crawl spaces and garages. Go to your local shelters every day or 2 to look for yourself…please don't depend on a phone call. The person you speak to may not be aware that your pet might have been turned in. If possible, leave your door or window open a crack while you're home.

Be sure to GO to your LOCAL SHELTERS with a photo and report your pet lost (your pet may have been taken to a shelter that is not the closest one to you). They have a board for both lost and found pets. Many finders take pets they find to them. Remember, NOT EVERYONE is on Social Media. There's some excellent advice on Missing Animal Response Network on Facebook as well as their website. Additional advice can be found on the website under the drop down menu labeled lost pet help.

Give flyers to the local vet offices and mail carriers too!! Missing Animal Response Network has excellent advice on what to do when your pet goes missing. The section about NEON signs is a must but all of the tips will also help you in your efforts to find your pet. Try putting a large lost sign at the last place seen (someone else may have seen something). Also check on Craigslist under pets lost/found.

Try posting on the local Nextdoor app (if possible), lost. petcolove. org and watching Craigslist.🤞 Also try putting out unwashed laundry and some stinky shoes at the last place seen with you nearby and hopefully your pet will smell it's way back to you. DO NOT PUT YOUR PET'S BEDDING OR LITTER BOX OUT because it can attract predators where your scent will scare predators off but still attract your pet. If it comes down to it, try renting or borrowing a trap from the shelter... Put something in the trap that your kitty cannot refuse. Putting up cameras may help too. BEWARE of scammers saying they found your pet and want you to email them or send them a code. They will also tell you to text or connect through Instagram to a certain group that helped them find their pet. DON'T do it! It's a scam. Also, be wary of calls from shelters. There is a scam, copying shelter's phone numbers and saying that your animal is there and needs emergency treatment and to send money.

Dear Lord, I pray that you will return Vega to her loving family. She is very precious and is being missed terribly. Please guide Vega home soon, safely. 🙏❤️

Definitely research online on Google and Facebook both worded differently for broader results Still most likely your baby is somewhere near your house if you have a back door and a front door would even be better

KEEP YOUR DOOR OPEN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SO YOUR BABY CAN GET BACK IN ESPECIALLY IF SKITTISH OUTSIDE CHECK WITH ALL NEIGHBORS MAKE SURE YOU PHYSICALLY GO INTO THE SHELTERS ALL OF THEM AND TAKE PICS FLYERS LEAVE THEM IN THEIR BOOK OR ON THEIR BORDER HOWEVER THEY DO THE LOST ANIMALS REMEMBER SHELTERS AND ANIMAL CONTROL ONLY HOLD FOR 72 HOURS MOST LIKELY YOUR BABY IS STILL AROUND YOUR HOUSE BUT IS SCARED LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN THE MORE WAYS IN THE BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR BABY TO RUN INSIDE 💛 DEFINITELY CHECK WITH ALL NEIGHBORS AND POST FLYERS
