MISSING CATS
Most cats rarely go far...they will be too scared. Put a box out with a dirty article of clothing -unwashed pillow case-sweaty clothes and/or something that smells like your cat. Put out some stinky wet food-tuna or sardines-mackerel. Sprinkle flour on the porch to see if footprints can be seen.
No litter box outside-it draws stray cats & predators that will keep your cat from returning.
♦️*Leave a door-window or garage door open so your kitty has access back in on its own. Drizzle tuna juice up to the door & place tuna or wet food farther inside. Most will return late at night when it’s dark and quiet. Be sure to secure all other pets in a closed room to prevent them from escaping♦️
We can make you a flyer with your contact number so you can take & get copies made. Get flyers made using BRIGHT NEON paper so they will stand out. (Place LOST at the top. PICTURE in the middle. PHONE NUMBER below picture if making your own). You can also get 4 to a sheet to cut & pass out to everyone you see. Place flyers in gallon sized zip lock bags with zipper at the bottom.
Post them on every 2-3 telephone poles & every pole at intersections. Eye level-staple 4 corners. Use neon duck tape to hang on metal poles. Post at vet offices & any heavy traffic areas.
When you search, do so with with a person the cat knows. Do not call him by name. Go out with a bag treat, make kissy noises. At nite take a flashlight & shine the light everywhere. It will make the cat's eyes glow. If seen he may not come to you-drizzle tuna juice or mix wet food with water & drizzle back to your door.
Have all neighbors check garages, sheds and under porches-window wells-up in trees-any where he could hide. Keep cking areas in the event he is moving around. If there have been sightings of him in another area, ask those neighbors is you can put a trap there. If a trap is needed-ask us for the proper protocol. Many cats are found trapped in a place that's locked.
DON'T GIVE UP!
