Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and aqapillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum theyqq snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.

If he is an indoor only cat or outside his area he is hiding very nearby where got out. Cats don’t run away so he is hunkered down hiding nearby. The good news is indoor cats are almost always found you just need to look everywhere! Look with a flashlight even during the day. If Look under bushes and cars, under porches and decks, along buildings, in any storage rooms, sheds, garages, anywhere last seen so look in and under where he could be hiding! Look up in trees and on roofs too. Put out dirty laundry and other familiar scents outside ASAP with water and bedding. Look for him anywhere he could hunker down and hide in or under. Put flyers all over the area and ask neighbors to check their property thoroughly. Ask them to check security cameras too. So file a lost report with the microchip company too if he has one and make sure contact info is current . File a lost report with the shelter . Put fliers at all nearby vet office too! Hope you find your cute kitty soon . Just don’t stop looking everywhere . Our daughters cat slipped out of her house and hid almost two weeks until we saw her on security cameras. Every time she opened the door her cat would flee! We finally set a humane cat trap near her porch and and monitored it from a distance with a security camera and caught her within a few hours. So leave the porch light. If he continues to hide, set the trap down where he jumped in the early morning hours. Do not leave food out at all! Hoping you will find him, just don’t stop looking. Beware of Instagram sites, they are not local and charge a fee.
