For lost cats here are some tips that have been said to work:
* File a lost report with animal control and check nearby shelters *in person* and often.
* Put wet/smelly food out in the evening. Pick it up during the day or if you notice it's attracting strays.
* Put a trail of dirty litter from the box all along the edge of your yard and along trees and bush lines close by and along any trails. Do NOT out the entire litter box outside (this may draw predators).
* Put out an unwashed article of your clothing or bedding. You can also make "scent strips" from these unwashed items and place them in trails leading to your door.
* Go out in the evening with a flashlight and look in bushes, under porches, in sheds, storm drains & other exposed pipes etc.
* Make chum trails leading to your door by using a can of canned tuna in water (no oil) or canned cat food and a gallon of warm water. Shake well and sprinkle in trails leading to your door.
* Your cat will be most active between dusk and dawn. Trying shaking a bag of treats and softly calling your cat's name while searching with a flashlight to catch the reflection of your cat's eyes.
* Get fliers up right away with phone number asking for sightings right away and ask neighbors to check garages, etc.
* Most cats do not go far, especially those that are not used to spending time outdoors.
Hope this helps!
Fingers crossed !🤞🤞🤞
