LOST CAT TIPS There have been so many lost cat posts of late in our area. I am sharing these lost cat tips to help as I myself Susan Samantha Cox have been involved with lost cat groups that try to reunite lost pets. Sharing them on my David Cassidy Memorial Legacy Group DCMLG page These are some tips that have been used for cats in the groups I have been with but also tips from other lost animal groups. These are some very valuable tips. If you have a cat I suggest that you save this post. Here are the tips. Use sardines (not olive oil) juice trace up to entrance of house - place sardines inside door and leave door ajar for them to enter. Put something that smells like you, on your porch or lawn. Leave bowls of food out - tuna/sardines, rotisserie chicken. Pour chicken broth up the sidewalk to your front door. SCENT is so important as a tool to find your lost cat!! Do these things right away: • Go out searching after it's dark and quiet. Cats come out of hiding after dark, especially between 2-5 AM. • Bring a bag of treats to shake. Stand in front of your house and call softly. Many times cats will come running. • FLIERS MUST GO UP ASAP TO GET SIGHTINGS. Every pole/tree/neighbors stoops/porches. Offer reward. Give fliers to mailman, UPS drivers, fed ex drivers, etc Local supermarket, dry cleaners, drug store should have a flier. • Report your cat as lost to local humane societies and veterinary clinics and shelters. Go to the shelter etc in person. Do not rely on the shelter as the person on the phone does not know every pet brought in. • Delegate tasks like putting up flyer and posters to friends so that you get them out and up immediately. • Go out and search for your cat. Cats can get stuck in neighbor's sheds and garages and even basements. Look under bushes, in and around sheds, or neighbor's porches with flashlight. A cat's eyes glow so you can spot them. • Don't drive around! If your cat is an indoor only cat, chances are your cat hasn't travelled more than 2-4 blocks away. • Very important to leave a door or window open, no matter what weather, for him to come back in the middle of the night. Use a scratching post or chair in front of the door or window. Put some food nearby . Many cats are scared but will come out after dark and return inside. Most cats return between 2-5 AM. • This is information gathered from various sources and a a study that was done on lost cats: • Cats are very different from dogs when panicked. They are territorial and your cat’s territory was inside of your home. Once a cat is transplanted into unfamiliar territory, fear sets in and it seeks shelter because it is afraid. They panic immediately and look to hide usually near the escape point or within a 5 house radius of their home where they've never been before. Cats that are afraid (and cats that are injured) will seek areas of concealment such as under a deck, under a house, under a porch, or in heavy brush and they will not meow! Panicked cats hide in silence. Silence is their only protective measure from predators. They can stay concealed for days, sometimes weeks! • Just because you don’t see or hear your cat does not mean he or she is not nearby and hiding in fear from the loud noises, etc. Some will not meow! Meowing would give up their location to a predator. Their behavior has nothing to do with whether the cat loves you, whether it recognizes your voice, or whether it can smell you–it has everything to do with the fact that most frightened cats will hide in silence! • This is an interesting behavioral pattern that Missing pet sites have observed with displaced cats. Many of these cats initially hide in silence, but eventually break cover and meow, return to their home or the escape point (window or door), or finally enter a humane trap. While some cats take only hours or a few days to reach their threshold, many others take several days (typically ten to twelve days) before they break cover. We suspect the threshold is reached due to their thirst, although more research needs to be conducted into this behavior. • Some people have tried to sleep out on their porch and their lost cat jumped up on them at 5am to sleep. • In an attempt to capture your cat, use humane traps with sardines in your yard or in your neighbor’s yard where your cat is likely hiding in fear. If you choose not to, place small amounts of cat food (and water) and hopefully you’ll eventually be able to determine where the cat is hiding. • If your cat is microchipped, please call the company to make sure they have your correct info in case someone takes your kitty to be checked and so they can contact you • Also: inquire on the Local Feral Cat rescue FB page it might join a colony and eat with them. Give your location and ask if any group has seen a new cat hanging around. Though ferals will fight him for the food.

Oh no. URGENT Please try to do everything I’m telling you to do. My ministry is to help people find their cats. If your cat was an indoor cat only it will be very close to home hiding somewhere. Indoor cats are afraid to be outside. Check all bushes and other things. Your cat will be very close by. In addition, it’s critical that you check all your neighbors backyards and their garages. Knock on everybody’s doors and ask if you can check. Also, very very important to post flyers everywhere. Post them on all lampposts and stop signs for miles and miles. This can really save your Cats life. The best tape to use this duct tape. Make sure these flyers are up every day. Also call your shelter. Often people bring cats to shelters. Call them several times. Fax a flyer of your Cat over there. Who knows maybe someone may bring your cat there next week or the following week. It’s also critical for you to post on all lost pet sites and nextdoor.com your neighborhood watch. Please make sure you do this not everyone is on Facebook. Also walk around for several blocks look for your cat. Get all your friends and family to help you look. When it gets dark out, you must use a flashlight look for your cat when it’s quiet bring some cat food and call its name. Ask your neighbors if you can check their ring cameras. Leave your garage door cracked open. Also, please keep checking Babu’s to see if someone has found your cat and has shown a picture. Make sure you check every single day. I pray you get your baby back as soon as possible.

Check in bushes and under cars near your home, and check on the next street over, especially in the evening with a flashlight, calling out to her and making a familiar sound. Ask neighbors if they might have seen her, and when they last did if they have. Ask them if she might be trapped in their garage or shed. I hope she is found soon🙏🏻

🚨 LOST INDOOR CAT – URGENT TIPS TO HELP BRING THEM HOME SAFELY 🚨 If your cat has gone missing and is usually indoors, here are critical steps to take: 🏠 Create a Safe Way for Your Cat to Return • Leave a door or window open (ideally the one they escaped from), even overnight - cats often return in the quiet late-night or early-morning hours. • Crack your garage door slightly to allow safe entry. • Place your worn, unwashed clothes up off the ground outside - your scent can help guide them home. • Do NOT place food, water, or litter boxes outside - these can attract other animals and deter your cat from returning. 🐾 Help Them Feel Safe • If you have other pets, keep them secured in a separate room to avoid scaring the missing cat away if they return. 🧭 Search Nearby and Alert Others • Cats typically don’t go far - they may be hiding under decks, in bushes, sheds, garages, or yards close to home. • Talk to your neighbors and ask them to check around their property. • Request that neighbors check doorbell or security cameras (like Ring) for sightings. 📣 Spread the Word – Not Everyone Uses Social Media • Put up physical signs ASAP - include a clear photo and contact info. • Post online in multiple places: • Facebook (your page and local lost pet groups) • Nextdoor • PawBoost Lost & Found • Ring Neighbors app ⚠️ Beware of Scams • If someone contacts you saying they have your cat and asks for money or asks you to verify a code, do NOT respond - this is a scam.
