Knock on your neighbors doors with FLYERS enough to go all the way around your block. Ask neighbors if you can check their backyard and/or if they have a RING camera to check for night movement. Ask neighbors to leave water bowls outside their backdoor - water for any thirsty animal is the most basic thing we can do daily. IF a neighbor isn't home tape a flyer onto their front door top and bottom using painter's tape (won't harm) My friend had a 'garden kitty' named Neo who disappeared and reappered 2 months later with a head injury - we got her to the vet and nutured her back to health - I wondered where that cat had been for 2 months - struggling to survive in the backyards and she couldn't make it back until she recovered. She was very thin and weak. Had I known about Neo disappearing I would be doing thi very thing - knocking on doors - asking neighbors to allow me to check CRAWL SPACES and storage spaces and sheds ..and pipe drainage areas - any place she could have gotten stuck (CLOSED IN) or where she was hiding to recover from injuries...cats don't disappear and they don't leave their territory or the ones they love...something has happened to prevent her from getting back home to you. She could be stuck or injured and unable to make it back ....Don't rely on pawboost we live everywhere - it's the folks on your block that need to be informed about Jill so they will check thier security cameras and will OPEN up their crawl space to you to check...use a flashlight to catch the reflection of her eyes. Lost cat Tazzy was trapped under the neighbors house for 3 weeks - she wouldnt' meow - the guardian caught the reflection of her eyes using a flashlight under the house! 3 weeks with no meows. Don't give up...keep taking action in person. Print a map of your block and mark off which address you spoke to and which residences did not ansewr the door (tape flyer to door) then return later again and again until you've spoken to every neighbor around your block - it makes s HUGE difference talking to neighbors in person. I have reunited countless cats by staying determined and gaining access to neighbors yards ...getting neighbors to help keep an eye out meeting you will help ...sending you love and continued hope and determination. damia ❤️

Dearest guardian - if you haven't already FLYERED every door circling your block- knock on neighbor's doors - if not home TAPE a flyer directly onto their front door using painter's tape (won't harm) ask them for access into their backyards to search under crawl spaces, under decks - if they won't let you enter ASK them if they closed any door or latch or shed that she could be stuck in - and to open it - Lost cat Tazzy was stuck under the neighbors house for 3 weeks and wouldnt' meow- the guardian checked under there 3 times but the last time he used a flashlight and caught the red glow of his eyes! Talking to neighbors is KEY - and searching alone in yards calling for her gently ...Poor thing could have hurt a paw and can't jump over the fence -If you live in huge building complex - gain access to any sub level - pipe area - storage areas that are closed- ask maintenance if any access around the building was altered since she went missing..it's hard to tell from google maps if you have a shared backyards -backyards all face each other? IF she was trying to HIDE from someonen or something she may have hid inside a storage unit that was open and now is closed - I would include in your NEW flyer for every resident to check their storage IF THEY went in at any time this month beacuse people don't realize how quick and slient a cat can sneak through without you noticing. THat is my biggest fear - is her getting trapped and neighbors not knowing all they have to do is open the door andgive her an hour to get out.. add that in theflyer. THe other possibiltty is that she is injured or Ill and hiding to protect herself. Praying if that's the case that she heals and once again shows up...i've known this tohappen multiple times with outdoor 'garden' cats....I would also highly suggest placing a camera aimed at wet food so you will receive movement notification - seeing who comes to eat is eye opening - in case a NEW LARGE TOM CAT is hanging around for example. Don't hesitate on the camera - for $30 you will know what happends when you're asleep. Thank you for loving her and caring for her....i'm so sorry for this horrible worry and stress....💥💥BUY CAMERA: Mini Blink WIFI camera $35 : https://a.co/ihc7BSy OR WYZE WIFI Waterproof Camera $29: https://a.co/d/4assVvK (get a Micro SD Memory Card: https://a.co/d/44AXvel) OR Waterproof cordless camera : https://a.co/d/cDeKLXz
