General Information: Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss Cat. Here are some tips that may help you. Posters posters posters posters, everywhere including the houses behind you. Tape them to the sides of peoples mailboxes. Include the date last seen the location last seen, , fixed, collar, micro chipped and any other important information as well as a good picture. Tell all of your neighbors that are immediately near you to please check their security cameras and their garages , Their sheds, and under their crawlspace especially If there is an opening. Cats have a tendency to hide rather than run, chances are your cat is close by. Always remember to call the shelters and check to see if anyone has turned in your cat. Don’t forget to look up. Cats will often go of trees or on rooftops especially if they’re avoiding predators. There are websites you can use that will help you print flyers and make Robo calls to your neighbors if I use their name Facebook will take me off and delete this post but you can find them. Put your clothes that you have worn with your smell on it outside your door. Also, if it’s possible and there’s no other animal in the house that needs to be contained open a window when you’re there so the cat can come back in the house. I would advise getting a trail cam and set it around your house so if your cat is coming back when you’re not there or sleeping you will know. Go out and look for your cat at predawn hours and after the sun goes down is when they’re most active. If you have big bushes or a crawlspace that is probably a likely place that they can go especially in this heat. chances are there are Community cat colonies near you with a feeder, you may not know because they need to be discreet if you Live in the LA area, post on the Facebook group LA underground cat rescue net work, and see if any feeders in your neighborhood Have seen your cat show up to their feeding station. Next door is a good app for finding feeders and posting your missing cat as well. Most feeders are aware of who is a regular at their station and who is new. Most importantly don’t give up when the posters come down put them back up again. Most cats come back within a couple days Some it takes a little longer but don’t give up keep calling also, talk to landscape workers gardeners and delivery trucks they sometimes have eyes on things when you’re not there. You always have the option of hiring bloodhounds. In LA there are a couple of people who you can hire their services. Others I’ve spoken to have had good luck with them I have not used them personally. I imagine they’re not cheap but neither is not knowing where your cat is. I will pray for the safe return of your cat. You
