STAY CALM & start the search and any applicable ideas listed below asap 1-Remember to never chase /run after a lost cat as it can scare them further out of their area. Even if you are the owner, a truly scared Cat is not thinking right & might instinctually run if anyone approaches. If you see him, Let cat come to you as much as possible or set up a monitored humane trap . If you can, leave the back door/ garage and or window open in your house for them to come back! 2. Call out cat's name from ONE spot few times PER HOUR, every hour . Calm Calling cat consistently from one spot may help kitty find home if it’s disoriented. It should be tried ASAP from the first moment . Along with leaving the door open . Around evening call your cat in a lcalm and intelligible voice for a full 5 minutes, calm and try to do this 3 times per hour, At a minimum call your cat 10 times a night, This helps the cat locate its home, especially if they got spooked, hurt, or disoriented. Don’t give up after a few weeks . Keep calling . Repeat this method night after night. It may take days or even weeks, 5. Typically the cat is going to try to return the same way it left so leave an opportunity for it to come back, especially at dusk and over night!! Maybe leaving a window or door or garage door slightly open with you monitoring from the inside for the cat to return on its own at night. This is common. If you have a garage door, leave it slightly open 24/7 . Leave some dirty used clothes and stinky shoes out for the smell to guide kitty home. Empty the contents of your vacuum cleaner in back yard. Always Leave water out for him/her. Put posters and stick flyers in mailboxes and under doors Matts with picture as a neighbour could have your cat. Flyers flyers and more flyers , door door flyers , and street neon street posters . Knock on neighbours' doors to ask , don’t be shy. Ask them if they AND you can check under their decks, sheds, RVs, in bushes, under cars, hoods, backyards, and in their garages. Ask if you can check yourself nightly. (Do this every night and early in the morning.) Walk around with a flashlight at night and even day as cat's eyes will reflect the light! Keep shaking the treat bag and listen for faint meowing. Bring a pillow case in case you need to scruff her and carry her home . Usually lost cats don't go far, are quiet, and hiding within 6-10 houses radius from where they were lost. If they are missing for more than a week try putting posters even further from you one block radius. cats may hide in silence for 3-5 days and come out for water and food when it's very quiet And they get desperate or brave enough Usually between 10:00 pm - 5:00 am. This is a good time to be calling out your kitty's name. Repeat the search night after night, as necessary. Usually come out after rain. They will probably to return way they escaped- try to leave door, window, shed or garage open. 3- Check these links: 3 https://www. homeatlastrescue.ca/my-cat-is-missing/ 3.1 Www. catsinthebag.org for great tips for finding lost cat t 3.2 Lost cat tips: watch this https://www. facebook.com/FrontStreetAnimalShelter/videos/388310901737884 3.3 https://www. dailypaws.com/cats-kittens/cat-safety-tips/how-to-find-a-lost-cat If you don’t have a camera, one unique way is to Sprinkle flour around the deck and porch to check for foot prints if no snow or mud is there. Check your local SPCA, shelters, cat rescues, and social media sites. Go into the shelters as not all cats make the website! It may take several days, to a few weeks to find your cat. Call Humane society and Animal shelter to fill out lost report If you live close by like somewhere, relatively close to the park, please make sure that you’re checking around your property calling from your house and if you can, it’s important to get some Wi-Fi cameras. They are very affordable cheap off of Amazon and put them around to see if she’s coming around at night. She could try and find her way back home if you’re not too far. She might be trying to come up to the house in the middle of the night when it’s very quiet and dark and calm. If you don’t have cameras set up, you won’t know that she’s trying to do that. Anytime that you were searching in need to go with a strong flashlight because you will see I was reflecting back at you. Do you want a flashlight with high luminosity. High lumens. Canadian tire sales flashlights that are 1300-6000 lm. you want something like that. That’s her most active as the sun is setting and also after dark when it’s quiet. The best way to see them is with a very strong flashlight yourself on flashlight is not enough. If you want help. If you want posters in handouts. If you want some guidance. Please message me. Again, I don’t charge any money at all for any help. Please don’t give up on your cat. She is alive. She is figuring out how to get food and water. She’s just scared. If we get posters and handouts around the neighbourhood and door-to-door, and everybody can keep an eye out for her. People can check the cameras people can check underneath her decks , garages etc. It’s the best way to find her The other thing you can do is also make a little handouts like this, or you can go door to door and leave them on everybody’s doorstep so people can keep an eye out for her. She’s not dead. She’s alive and well surviving using her and sticks. She is not gonna be running around in the forest or in the park she’s most likely found a building or a house or a structure to hide around. Most cats are not gonna leave them selves open. They’re going to want to hide next two structures are buildings underneath ducks underneath porches patios, barbeque furniture she’s found her way to somebody’s yard. Depending on where in the park, she was lost in which direction she ran and we can try and determine which is a likely spot that she could be. Also, if you do go look for her, don’t forget to look up any trees as she could easily climb up If you want my help, please message me. I can make posters and handles for you. If you want help printing them, I can also do that again free of charge. This is an example of a poster. I can make one for you like this. You have to tell me which number you want and I need to clear pictures if your cat, preferably with her whole body. This is how to tape them up. Noticed that the tape is wrapped around the entire pole multiple times at the top and at the bottom. If you make posters like this in plastic sleeve protectors with tape wrapped all the way around at the top and the bottom, it will last for months outside You can also put posters on mailboxes on the sides, both sides . I can send you the PDF completely free if you message me your information and pictures of the cat. I’m a volunteer with a local Cat Rescue , everything we do is free.

Checking neighbors backyard properties is crucial. (Neighbors will not check as thoroughly as you will, or at all, so ask them if you can check) Indoor cats will hide quickly after getting outside. Check under bushes and remember, when afraid, they won’t respond to you calling them. Someone in my area had their cat get out and she found him 3 and a half weeks later only 4 houses away hiding in a backyard under patio furniture. The only reason he was detected was because the lady who lived there happened to look out her window and see him under the table in the backyard and recalled seeing the lost cat notice on our community FB page. It was November also so was cold and the furniture outside was covered so was a good hiding place. -put out (unwashed) cat bed/blankets/your clothes that smell of home -leave a bat window or garage door open enough they can get in.

Please place his bedding outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing front and back door with a can of tuna on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well. Also vacuumed home dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home enterence . Show your neighbors a picture of the cat. Ten houses to the left ten house to the right front and back if they spot him to give you a call immediately. Go early in the morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Best of luck finding your kitty 🙏 ❤️

Put out your worn clothing and her bed / blanket (never put the litter box out as it can attract predators and then your cat may not come back into the area - if she is disoriented, the scent will help her find his way home. Go out in the early hours of the morning and shake the treat bag and call her name quietly. Take a flashlight as her eyes will shine. Crack the garage door and/or house window so she can make her way inside if she comes home. Make posters and flyers and get them up and out asap! Call all the vets and shelters in your area. Also post on the Nextdoor app. Hopefully she is microchipped and someone takes her in to be scanned. When she comes home, keep her inside as there are endless dangers out there for roaming cats! It is our responsibility to keep our pets safe. Good luck, I hope you find her! 😿

Pls check w all your neighbors to let them know u r missing your cat. Ask to check all sheds porches etc. And bushes. Usually they don't go far at first. Timing is essential. Posters help too. Go out at night with flashlight and shine into dark area. Eyes will reflect light. Bring fave treats. Do not put out litter. You can put out kitties bedding or your clothes/blankets during the day.Litter can attract tomcats or other animals attracted to the scent. Your kitty could be close but these animals could scare him and then he might go further away to get out of danger. It's not recommended anymore for these reasons.
