Annette Brown I have done that every single day and I’ve called the shelters and sent his picture over to the shelters in my area. He usually comes straight home because he is neutered. He just like to be outside but one thing I think that’s keeping him from returning on the porch and meowing at the door is because of the stray cats that eat here. Usually when he runs out the door he doesn’t go to far and I’m able to pop a can of food open and he will stick his head out of where he’s at and I’ll walk over and grab him. But the stray cats that are out there usually he will run right passed them and he will go roll in the grass or chew up the cat nip plant I planted out there and if he sees the stray cats then he usually runs and gets under the porch or something and meows pretty loudly so I can hear him through my bedroom window and I go out and pick him up. The last time he got out and was gone for 3 days there was no stray cats around here. This past year stray cats have shown up at my house left and right due to people letting them out I guess. And since he had stayed gone 3 days the last time I have been very very careful not letting him get out the door. Now a few times my husband and my youngest son have opened the front door and he has been waitin right there and he has darted out but like I said I go right then and grab a can of cat food and pop it open and I get him right back in. But I did not see him when he went out the door last Thursday so I came in and locked the door and then never though about it until the following morning when I got up and went in the kitchen and I went to feed the cats and he didn’t go to the cat table and he didn’t answer my call for him that’s why it dawned on me that more than likely it was him that darted out the door the night before because I thought I seen something like a shadow but I turned around immediately and I didn’t see him so I thought it was my mind playing a trick. But I know now it wasn’t. And I’m just kicking myself I really am. My son is upset and he has been watching the camera 24/7 hoping he shows back up and I hope he does too. I really hope he comes home soon. I’m praying and praying.

Go out early morning or after dark and quietly call your cat....chances are you cat is scared and hiding....take a flashlight ...if your cat doesn't come to you, shine it around to see if it catches it's eyes...under bushes and in the trees. Put a BIG, COLORFUL sign at the last place seen so people know where your cat belongs if they spot him or her…ask your neighbors to check sheds, crawl spaces and garages. Go to your local shelters every day or 2 to look for yourself…please don't depend on a phone call. The person you speak to may not be aware that your pet might have been turned in. If possible leave your door or window open a crack while you're home.

Be sure to GO to your LOCAL SHELTERS with a photo and report your pet lost (your pet may have been taken to a shelter that is not the closest one to you). They have a board for both lost and found pets. Many finders take pets they find to them. Remember, NOT EVERYONE is on Social Media. There's some excellent advice on Missing Animal Response Network on Facebook as well as their website. Additional advice can be found on the website under the drop down menu labeled lost pet help.

Give flyers to the local vet offices and mail carriers too!! Missing Animal Response Network has excellent advice on what to do when your pet goes missing. The section about NEON signs is a must but all of the tips will also help you in your efforts to find your pet. Try putting a large lost sign at the last place seen (someone else may have seen something). Also check on Craigslist under pets lost/found.

Try posting on the local Nextdoor app (if possible), lost. petcolove. org and watching Craigslist.🤞 Also try putting out unwashed laundry and some stinky shoes at the last place seen with you nearby and hopefully your pet will smell it's way back to you. DO NOT PUT YOUR PET'S BEDDING OR LITTER BOX OUT because it can attract predators where your scent will scare predators off but still attract your pet. If it comes down to it, try renting or borrowing a trap from the shelter... Put something in the trap that your kitty cannot refuse. Putting up cameras may help too. BEWARE of scammers saying they found your pet and want you to email them or send them a code. They will also tell you to text or connect through Instagram to a certain group that helped them find their pet. DON'T do it! It's a scam. Also, be wary of calls from shelters. There is a scam, copying shelter's phone numbers and saying that your animal is there and needs emergency treatment and to send money.
