Here are some some tips that have been found to be very effective in bringing missing cats home: File a lost report with animal control and check nearby shelters *in person* and often. If they are chipped, be sure to report them to the microchip company. Cats do not typically go far, especially those that are not used to spending time outdoors. If they are indoor or indoor/outdoor pet(s), look very throughly inside… EVERY nook & cranny inside the home. Always keep in mind, cats are the absolute best at Hide & Seek. If you’re able to, leave the opening you think they got out cracked for them to re-enter, (they’ll usually go back in the way they went out). If used to being given treats, shake the treat bag, canned food opened with a can opener, use your outdoor electrical socket or an extension cord to plug the opener outside to “call” them to eat. Put wet/smelly food out in the evening & monitor it closely. Pick it up during the day or if you notice it's attracting strays. Although often times suggested, do NOT put the litter box outside or make trails with dirty litter. This may draw predators and/or other more aggressive cats that may chase your’s away and into deeper hiding. Put out unwashed articles of their and your bedding & articles of clothing, especially those of their favorite human. You can also make "scent strips" from these unwashed items and place them in trails leading to your door or window . Go out late in the evening and in the very early morning with a flashlight… look high & low for the glow of their eyes… under vehicles (including tire wheel wells & under the hood), under porches, in sheds, storm drains & other exposed pipes, in bushes AND on roof tops & in trees, etc. They will be most active between dusk and dawn. Sit quietly while softly shaking a bag of treats and softly calling their name. Make chum trails leading to your door by using a can of canned tuna in water (no oil) or canned cat food and a gallon of warm water. Shake well and sprinkle in trails leading to your door and/or the opening you believe they left from. Get fliers up right away with phone number asking for sightings and ask neighbors to check garages, under porches, etc. Post in PawBoost, Ring and Nextdoor apps. Set up a humane trap. Animal Control or a rescue organization maybe able to loan you a trap at no cost. Monitor the trap continuously and with a motion-activated camera if possible. WATCH OUT for scammers (they’re all over lost & found animal groups, preying on those in their most desperate times)!!! They will claim they have them (or know who has them & asking for money without providing a new picture… NEVER send or give any reward UNTIL they are safely in your possession. Hope this helps! Fingers crossed !🤞🤞
