Cats 👉TOP TIPS TO FIND YOUR CAT QUICKLY! Cats: 90% of lost cats are found within10 houses of their home (ASPCA, 2019). I find many are uncomfortable knocking on doors, but it's important to get your pet back quickly. Most people won’t post a cat hanging around for a few days. Some people love cats and might take yours in to keep. Others don’t care and won’t let you know if they see it. A reward changes inspires them to care. Be sure to put your main cross streets and your City FIRST. THEN your smaller cross streets. Put a big clear photo from the front of your pet. Then add text with the information regarding your pet. When people do a search online words on a screenshot do not come up as well as typed words so be sure to include text with the picture/ flyer.. When you post on next door make sure you use keywords like: Black and white Cat Mesa, Big fluffy grey cat Gilbert. If you’re desperate to find your cat: Reward should be the first thing with the amount ($20-40) Location major intersection and City Then smaller cross streets in your neighborhood so people can quickly identify where and if it involves them. AFTER that put the details on the pet. 90% of lost cats are found within 10 houses of their home (ASPCA, 2019). Nextdoor and Neighbor App: A study by these platforms found that 75% of lost pets posted on were reunited with their owners within 24 hours (Nextdoor, 2022). DO NOT PUT THE LITTER BOX OUTSIDE! as it can attract predators (Bobcat, Coyotes) and even other cats. Experts do not recommend this. People don’t fact check or consider who is posting it, before sharing advice. No credible research supports a cat can smell its litter box from a mile away!!!!! BUT coyotes can smell fresh cat urine less than 24 hours old 1-3 miles AWAY! Older cat urine 24 to 48 hours 1/2- 1.5 miles. Coyotes detect scents several hours old. Their sense of smell is estimated 10 to 20 x more sensitive than ours. They track prey over long distances.
