Info for lost indoor only cats….. Be wary of people who will tell you they found your cat, but you have to message them on FB or text a code to a certain phone number. These are scams. A new scam is to call from a pet hospital’s sed phone number and ask for payment up front for your “severely injured” pet. Hang up & call the pet hospital directly or go in person. A person who truly found your cat will not put conditions on you except maybe to show them proof of ownership, like pictures. Also, people will tell you how they used a search agency to find their pet. Also, a scam to take your money. Most of those services are not even in the TriState. Exception is, Reaves Recovery. They are here in Cincinnati area, but do charge a fee since they are a business. Make lots of flyers to pass out to all your neighbors. Ask them to check their security cameras and keep watch for your cat moving through their yard at night by way of the cameras. Make bright posters to put up all around the area. You want to keep your cat in the area near your house, so put out an article of clothing/blanket that has your scent & your cat’s scent on it. Put out dry food & water on a covered porch. If you do not have a covered porch then turn a large Tupperware bin on its side to put the food & water inside. Put baby monitors outside at your doors so you can hear if your cat comes to eat or cries to be let inside. Read the article then grab a flashlight ( helps reflect their eyes making it easier to see.) Look under sheds, porches, decks, grill covers, furniture covers, campers, cars, boats, bushes, wood piles, anything a cat can crawl into or under. You can make a lost cat report at Cincinnati Animal CARE or your local animal shelters. This article has great tips to help you with your search and for understanding lost cat behavior. Article says they do not go far typically, but don’t discount reported, found cats that are miles away. Unfortunately humans sometimes relocate them. If you can’t click on the link below, then google it. Great info. Hope you find your kitty! https://coleandmarmalade.com/2019/01/31/what-to-do-if-indoor-cat-gets-outside/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0P0X0rGMOk0VgvPsLfbOLnzi9Zahq9m2EQ0PsEMOB4ptxMvhr5l5wmeuI_aem_qkp-E6oyH0UPz1TO7qdjQQ
