First, don’t give up. Persistence is key, and you may need a combination of search strategies. A systematic approach based on typical lost cat behavior, as well as your cat’s personality and habits, will maximize your chances for success. Neighborhood search Start with a thorough physical search of your immediate area, focusing on your home and property and working out from there. A 2017 study revealed that most missing cats are found less than a third of a mile from where they escaped. Indoor cats who get outdoors are typically found less than three houses away. Ask friends and neighbors to help with the search, and check under decks and porches, in garages and sheds, and other places where a cat could hide or get trapped. Keep in mind that a cat who is unused to being outside, or a cat lost in an unfamiliar area, will likely be scared and won’t respond to your calls. It can take a few days before they relax enough to emerge from their hiding spot. Spread the word Knock on doors and hang large, colorful “lost cat” posters in your area. Alert dogwalkers, mail carriers, joggers and anyone else who regularly visits your neighborhood, as well as anyone nearby who feeds outdoor cats. Use local social media sites and missing pet registries to help get the word out. When people know your cat is missing, they’ll want to help. Otherwise, they may assume the cat who showed up in their yard is abandoned and needs a home. Bring in technology Just because no one has seen your cat doesn’t mean they’re not close by. A scared cat will often hide during the day and only venture out late at night when the neighborhood is quiet (and most people are sleeping). Start placing food and water in a safe spot in the area where you suspect your cat is hiding (a large plastic storage container turned on its side can protect the food from rain). Use a motion-activated camera to see if your cat is eating the food. Once you know your cat is visiting the feeding station and what time they typically show up, set a humane trap to capture them. Most animal control agencies and many rescue groups will have a trap you can borrow. (Be sure to monitor the trap and quickly release any wildlife or other animal you unintentionally capture.) If you suspect your cat is trapped or hiding under a building, use an amplified listening device or plumber’s camera to check hard-to-reach places. Alert authorities Submit lost reports to your local animal shelters and animal control agency, and ask if there are other local animal welfare organizations that may have your pet. Depending on where you live, the shelter may only be able to hold a lost cat for as little as 72 hours before placing them for adoption, so don’t delay. If your cat has a microchip, alert the microchip company so that your cat can be flagged as lost. Visit your local shelters as often as you can to check if your cat is there, keeping in mind that it can take weeks before a lost cat lands at a shelter. Advanced search strategies The Missing Animal Response Network provides advanced search tips, online trainings and information on hiring a lost-pet recovery expert. LostCatFinder.com’s How to Find Your Lost Cat video search guide and e-booklet is another good resource. ONLINE SEARCH TIPS Most communities have Facebook groups for sharing information about lost and found pets. Search for groups in your area and post a notice of your missing cat. Share the post on your personal Facebook, Instagram or other social media accounts. Fellow animal lovers will likely want to help in your search. Petco Love Lost is a national database that uses facial recognition technology to search thousands of found pet listings from users and shelters across the country. Simply upload a photo of your cat to start the search. YOU CAN ALSO TRY: Center for Lost Pets Craigslist Pet FBI NextDoor and Front Porch Forum (check the lost and found section and post a lost pet notice) If you have a homeowner’s or neighborhood association, ask them to help spread the word with an online posting or email notice. You may have had some of these tips already but I will pray for his safe return. Don’t lose hope. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Beware of scams If a stranger claims to have found your cat, ask them to describe your pet and send you a photo. Be wary of anyone who asks for money before they’ll return your cat.

Flyers are very important. They are best put in a zip gallon bag that is upside down to protect from the elements. It was just recently that both the dog and a cat were reunited by flyers alone since the people that found the animals did not have social media. If you adopted from a rescue, they usually like to know ASAP that a former animal is missing. If your cat has a microchip, it's good to make sure your contact information is up to date so you can be contacted if your cat is found. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so time is of the essence. Make sure your cat is not hiding in the garage in a closet in a dresser, drawer or behind furniture which often happens. I've heard of a few cats returning home the past few years when the owner left their garage open about 5 inches with a worn piece of clothing on the inside of the garage near the opening to help attract the cat if it comes close back to home but not too wide. So you do not attract unwanted animals. It's good if you go check outside on your block around Dawn and dusk with a flashlight looking in shrubbery and under ducks and porches to hopefully catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it is close by. Usually cats are scared when they first leave home and might not even respond to you. So the flashlight might come in handy to catch a glimpse of the eyes. It's also good to check your local animal control in person daily because things change very often and best in person. It's also good to check local rescues and shelters in your area daily. Hoping for a quick and safe return.....
