Look at night with a flashlight while calling his name. Look especially under bushes and in neighbors yards garages and sheds. Look up in trees, Leave something outside with his scent on it like his bedding. Leave something outside with your scent on it like an unwashed piece of clothing. Leave out smelly cat food. Hang signs with his photo. Call and visit local shelters and veterinary offices. Good luck!🍀

Cats don't stray far from their home. Also, contact local rescue groups, shelters and vet offices to see if, anyone brought the cat in and leave your contact information should some one find you cat.Put a trap with food inside, cover with a sheet or towel but take the food out at night otherwise you will have wildlife in the trap. Look in garages, underneath bushes, porches, sheds around your house and your neighborhood. Contact John Debacker only does Emergency o but try strong island rescue-Frankie John Floridia, Teddy Henn are good trappers/trackers. Check on the cage often. Just shared.

Drag scent trails… He may be hiding under a porch, a shed, or a car, behind bushes, or in a wooded area. Go out late at night with a flashlight that might reflect against his eyes, and call him gently. Or shake a bag of treats, sometimes better than your voice to attract a cat that’s scared. Create scent trails on the grass and ground leading up to your home (or to a trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when the cat is in the trap). Get a towel and rub it with your dirty laundry, blankets, socks, or anything else with the scent of home. (Do not use kitty litter.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag it from the areas where you think the cat might be, creating scent trails leading to your house (or the trap). You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will. (If you use a trap, load it with a little cat food, chicken or tuna, enough to attract the cat from the trail that leads up to it. Rely on the scent trails to get your cat to the trap.) Rain and snow will wash away the scent trails, so you’ll have to drag again afterwards. Also, renew the trails every couple days. Try to remain patient and hopeful. Some cats only show up after many days or even weeks. Important: . Never leave a trap unattended, always keep an eye on it, checking it every 1/2 hour in person or with a trail cam. Position the trap close to where the cat escaped or was last seen. . Trail cam photos and videos are marked with time stamps, helpful to know if and when the cat shows up but doesn’t go into the trap. . Post flyers in the area with a picture of your cat and your contact information. . Even if you don’t have a trap or a trail cam, scent trails leading to your home can work.

***Very important ….for sightings Flyers are effective in getting the message out about your missing animal . Many people aren’t on Facebook; don't know about local lost and found Facebook pages, etc. so cover all your bases. Post flyers everywhere …. Put on mailboxes / under door mats .. and polls in your surrounding area in at least a three block radius in case someone sees or starts feeding your animal or sees them on their ring/camera. Also give one to the mail person … they’re in your area each day and might have a sighting. Ask neighbors to check their yards … Knock on doors ….ask for help. Also post on Neighbor app / Ring and any social media sites available in your surrounding area for lost and found animals. Sent from my iPad

A few general suggestions … for indoor cats …. Leave a reentry door (realize it may be impossible) but if you know how s/he got out, maybe you can open it slightly) ….. often they return to where they escaped. Leave a scent trail with your unwashed clothes/socks/slipper or a blanket used on your deck. S/He’s likely close by and more likely to return when it’s dark and quiet outside or when s/he feels safe. They’re frightened and in survival mode. Check cameras, if you have them, to see if s/he’s returning at night when quiet. Ask neighbors to do the same. Indoor kitties usually stay close to home. Check under your deck or anywhere s/he might hide …. look in sheds, garages and basements. Gently talk to s/he while searching. Don’t scream or yell, it might frighten them even though it’s your voice. The cat could have gotten stuck in a shed or garage taking refuge and unable to get out. Go door to door and ask if anyone has seen her. Flyers are essential .. give them to neighbors in at least a 3 block radius. Sent from my iPhone

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. 🙏🏻🐾
