If there are any articles with his scent, his bedding, for example, drag scent trails leading to a trap. Create scent trails on the grass and ground leading up to the trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when the cat is in the trap. Get a towel and rub it with his bedding or anything else that might have his scent. (Do not use kitty litter. It attracts predators.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag it from the areas where you think the cat might be, creating scent trails leading to the trap. You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will. Load it with a little cat food, chicken or tuna, enough to attract the cat from the trail that leads up to it. Rely on the scent trails to get your cat to the trap. Rain and snow will wash away the scent trails, so you’ll have to drag again afterwards. Also, renew the trails every couple days. Try to remain patient and hopeful. Some cats only show up after many days or even weeks. Important: . Never leave a trap unattended, always keep an eye on it, checking it every 1/2 hour in person or with a trail cam. Position the trap close to where the cat escaped or was last seen. . Trail cam photos and videos are marked with time stamps, helpful to know if and when the cat shows up but doesn’t go into the trap. . Post flyers in the area with a picture of your cat and your contact information.

Here are some suggestions to help find your baby: Indoor cats are in survival mode and are frightened. They will hide……and hide very well so PLEASE check everywhere often…especially at night. Report it to ANIMAL CONTROL as well as Vets and SHELTERS with a picture in case they are brought in injured or for a chip check. Include Groomers and Pet Stores Put up lots and lots of FLYERS!!! Give to neighbors, attach to mailboxes, put up at stores, library, grocery stores everywhere! Give to your postal carrier as they see animals all the time! Sit outside and read a book out loud, the sound of your voice can lure him/her back if he’s close by. Drag his/her bedding around the area of your home. Please create a free account at petfbi.org/report.html This account will send out an alert that s/he is missing, and send you an alert if anyone were to report a cat found near that location. That account could help get your cat back home too. Put on Facebook lost pets page in your town/state etc..and on your local town page!! Check trees, under, in and behind things in your yard and others often. Make your neighbors aware. Please check yours and neighbor’s garages, sheds, porches, barns, basements and under and in vehicles, Cats like to come out @ night so leave A LIGHT ON THE PORCH WITH FOOD and IT'S BEDDING near a CRACKED OPENED DOOR OR WINDOW FOR ENTRY.... NEVER put out litter boxes as it could be used by another cat which could DETER return or attract predators. Use a camera or baby monitor to watch for his /her return, using a havaheart trap with tuna to catch them as well as an unlaundered piece of your laundry. If u put food out be very careful and monitor very closely as it can attract predators. You can borrow a trap from animal control or cat rescue. The ACO or a rescue can help u on how to trap a cat. U must never leave trap unattended. If there are sightings set up a feeding station and camera at sighting area, then when he is spotted on camera you can trap him. It can be helpful to use a flashlight at night to spot its eyes! Look around shrubs, under cars, decks, porches, in garages, sheds, up in trees, in yours and neighbor’s yards. Calling for it several times a day and shaking treats, indoor cats can become disoriented. Calling out helps in RECOGNIZING YOUR VOICE AND DIRECTION! Your cat is in survival mode and may not act as they usually did, he is afraid. Please DO NOT give up! Continue to check & recheck EVERYWHERE. Monitor Facebook, Craigslist and Nextdoor sites for found cats. Cats have been found several years after. Don’t give up, keep the faith and keep looking!!! Put cameras outside, leave door open at night, and contact a cat rescue or www.wanderingpawsk9.com a reputable pet tracker to help you.
