Please do a scent trail
Do the scent trail up above( black and orange )… go out far in all direction @ 4-7houses in all directions to help him find home
Cut up your sweaty tshirts into strips 1/2inch wide x 8 inches tie on branches.. telephone poles, street signs, fences
Go in every direction like a clock…
It’s worked in the past, place the strips 50-100 feet between one another.
Encompass total 12-16 houses diameter total…
He’ll follow the scent home… at least that’s the plan/hope
It’s worked before…
The wind will carry the scent..help him find home
Make color posters, see post. And use water proof markers bright colors…cover with large freezer baggies to avoid getting wet. (Pink post)
Make a copy of this post and place it in the posters…in your yard
Affix to corner of street, tape to street poles…
And outside your car
Add your telephone number…
Check neighbors outdoor cameras for clues
Make color paper copies of this post with your cell number and handout to USPS USP FEDX DRIVERS, Police go to shelter look for your cat’s with your eyes… the shelters are full and busy. Leave a copy, and go every day
Bring to local Animal Control make a report…incase they are called by a finder.
