Lost cat tips First report the pet at the microchip website as “lost”. Post pictures on next door, ring, PawBoost, local lost and found Facebook groups. Report it lost if they have a microchip, and report it lost on the SPCA website as well as petcolove.org . Hang flyers around mailboxes. Give flyers to your neighbors. Go ask your neighbors if you can go look around in their front/backyard. Cats are usually only a few doors down. Put DIRTY blanket or clothes outside The dirtier the better (to catch your smell). Put some in your front porch. Put some in your garage and leave it cracked open just enough for them to squeeze in. Do not put litter box outside like other people say. The litter will attract predators. Go out looking for your kitty during dark hours when it’s most likely quiet. Preferably betweeen 3-5 am. Call out its name. If they recognize any sounds such as a treat bag, bring that with you. You can try playing crying kitten noises on your phone (YouTube). Do NOT listen to anyone who says to message “xyz page” on instagram/facebook for pet rescue/search team. These are SCAMS from hacked accounts. People will try to take advantage of your situation and will ask for money, with nothing in return. They are usually fake profiles. Lastly, if you have any traps for pets, set it with wet food nearby. Cover the traps, and always check them. Never leave a trap unattended while you are away from home. Must be under a shaded area. Hopefully this all helps!
