Things to do if you've lost a cat:
1. Check all closets, cabinets, under beds and furniture.
2. If you are certain your cat is no where sleeping in your house, put out unwashed laundry with your scent near your door. Turn the socks you are wearing inside out and place high (tree, etc.) so your cat smells your scent.
3. If you have a garage, leave the garage door open slightly or some way back inside if possible.
4. If you can safely leave a door or window open while youâre home (no other pets), sometimes cats will return on their own. They are usually only a few houses away from home.
5. Check under bushes and cars with flashlight early in the morning and at night. Look up in the trees.
6. Rattle treat bag or dry kibble. Kitty is probably close by. They usually only travel 3 or 4 houses away.
7. Call for kitty at dusk and dawn, and/or usual mealtimes. Spend as much time searching.
8. Ask your neighbors to check garages and sheds or ask if you can check.
9. Check all your closets, garage, under beds and furniture, pantry, behind sheds, etc.
10. Make giant neon posters.
11. Cross post to other Lost & Found sites. Post on Nextdoor.com.
12. Check SD Humane sdhumane.org Animal Control, Pawboost, Craigslist (beware of scammers) and other on line pet sites.
13. Ask neighbors if theyâve seen your cat on their ring doorbell.
14. Put water out.
15. Post on Nextdoor.
16. File a Lost Pet Report with the San Diego Humane Society sdhumane.org
Keep looking. Donât give up and donât depend on others. Good luck! đť
