🐈‍⬛LOST CATS: Please follow my (original) advice. No litter box outside, no food outside. It will attract other animals including other cats who will keep your cat away if trying to return home. If you have a garage- set and MONITOR a humane cat trap on your garage at morning dusk and evening dusk especially. Use to food I lost below. Cover the trap with a towel. ⬇️ Distribute Flyers- by knocking on doors to your neighbors and handing them out, and posted them on poles etc. as well even to any businesses close by? This step is crucial to recovering your cat! Speak to people in person. I cannot stress enough, the importance of knocking on doors speaking to people and handing them a “lost cat” flyer at the same time. This is how you get sightings and this is what will bring your cat home. GARAGE- If you have a garage set and monitor the humane trap in the garage leaving the garage open a little for the cat to find its way in. Please use the food I recommend and heat in microwave for 10 seconds before putting in the human trap. Must be home and MONITOR the trap. If you get a sighting you need to set and MONITOR a humane trap at the sighting location right away and at morning dusk. *NEVER LEAVE A TRAP UNATTENDED. You can use rotisserie chicken and Friskies Whitefish and Sardines canned food as bait. Cats usually stay within a one mile radius from home. Most are found very close to home as in a few houses away or next street over. They are usually found (after getting sightings and with trapping) very close to their own home. Some come home on their own, usually in the overnight hours. Concentrate on canvassing your own neighborhood, however, in case the sighting was not of your cat. Cats don’t usually go far. They usually will try to return home between 10 PM and 5 AM with peak hours being 3-5 AM. Put a worn shirt of yours on your porch or near the door and continue to replace with a fresh one daily. Do NOT put a litter box outside. It will attract male unneutered cats who will spray property and chase your cat away if trying to return home. Some cats stay hidden for 3 weeks traveling at night. Flyers generate sightings.

They usually don’t venture far. It’s probably scared & hiding near by in bushes or an open garage. Most kitties will stay put in their safe hiding spot. ( if they’re not fixed they can wonder further, depends on circumstances) Ask neighbors to check their sheds, decks, garages. They usually venture out at night after 24-48hrs when they start getting hungry. The “witching” hour when they come out is 3am. If you see your pet, don’t try to grab it, it’s still on survival mode and will run. Just sit down maybe with some treats and let your pet come to you. (Remember, never put the litterbox outside. Other cats will mark it & scare your cat away. Just in case, also set some humane traps near by, hide them in the bushes where your pet might hide. Good luck & don’t lose hope. Pray to St Anthony, he hasn’t let me down. 🙏🏻🐾

Here are some ideas that may help... Check in and around sheds, garages, under cars and under hood of cars, especially when it’s cold out. If you or your neighbors’ car windows were down, retrace areas where unknowingly kitty may have been a passenger. Check your attics, crawl spaces and in between walls, any appliances in which a door may have been accidently shut, i.e., washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove...also check in closets and drawers. Also look above in trees, rooftops, ledges ! Take a flashlight with you both day and night to catch a gleam from kitty’s eyes. Cats usually travel very late at night or early morning. Leave porch door or garage door open. Leave strong smelling cat food (tuna) or kitty’s favorite food out during normal feeding times and at night (watch out for other hungry critters though). Go outdoors and shake a bag of treats, calling kitty’s name calmly and listen often for a response, kitty may be hiding or trapped somewhere close by. Also leave a familiar blanket or bedding or worn clothing items from kitty’s humans! Post flyers, give flyers to local mail carrier, trash collector, UPS/FED-EX driver, dog walkers, joggers, neighborhood children, alert neighbors, post on nextdoor .com, surrounding towns’ lost and found and other FB organizations as well, alert veterinarian offices in case kitty is brought in. GO to (do NOT just call) SPCA or humane shelters to see for yourself, be adamant about seeing all of their cats, (in case of mistaken breed and/or ) … humans make mistakes too! Don't forget to file a missing pet report. I have seen recently on Facebook that people suggest sending a message to @satellitepetsearch on instagram as they are highly recommended, also sending a direct message to "Satellitefurlostpets” via instagram or a private search service team “animalsatellitesearch1” on instagram. Try googling drone services near your area! Drone services for pet retrieval use thermal cameras to detect animals' heat signatures, allowing for the rapid scanning of large areas, including dense terrain, even at night. These services provide real-time footage and can quickly locate a missing pet, with assistance for the safe recovery of the animal once found. You can find providers by searching online for terms like "thermal drone pet recovery" or looking for local pet search and rescue organizations that utilize drones. Good Luck and I pray that kitty returns home soon!
