Sorry one last post on what to do:💜💜💜
🐯PRINT OUT THIS GOOGLE MAP OF YOUR cat sitter's BLOCK (see attached) and take notes as you go DOOR TO DOOR tellign your neighbors about your missing kitty. Take notes which residences you speak to and those NOT home so you can try back later. the idea is to TALK to neighbors in person so they meet you and are more inclined to check their garage, shed, crawl spaces etc . Make sure to let neighbors know kitty is scared and for them to take a photo if they THINK they see you kitty. For those residences that aren’t home, use that blue painters tape to adhere a FLYER ( top and bottom) directly on their front door (won't damage) or folded and taped next to their mail boxes.
🐯Post up flyers all around your block and and across the street on both sides of lampposts . Place flyers inside clear sheet protectors and buy lots of clear packing tape and bright color DUCT tape in case the packing tape doesn’t stick.
🐯 If you don't find her tonight - TOMORROW Talk to the neighbors on that block and ask for permission to check their yards, storage areas etc .Sometimes you have to check the same yard - more than ONCE!...see text example received from kitty guardian who checked 3 times in same yard an found her kitty! ...https://drive.google.com/file/d/10I_aHnjJ9rX6rYbGi6v7AWUTJVqggIxD/view?usp=sharing
🐯APARTMENT BUILDINGS: For distributing flyers at apartment buildings ...I always ring on bells and talk to folks and/or at least get inside so I can leave a flyer I front of each door step or if not an option then tape flyers onto the top and bottom of EACH mail box to ensure everyone around your block is aware along with posting UP FLYERS around the block and 1 block out in all directions (use the clear sheet protector so they LAST more than a few days! You want to cover all possibilities. Spreading the word IN PERSON and online is Critical in spotting kitty. Ask neighbors in person and on flyers to take a photo if they think they see your kitty instead of approaching her and to call/text you. Talking to neighbors dramatically increases the chances of your cat being spotted or discovered stuck..it engages people to care and to actively search

🐯DON’T GIVE UP.. call for kitty calmly when it’s dark and quiet at night 10pm-6am ...every day I get texts from cat owners saying they found their cat stuck in a shed, under a neighbor’s garage, on a roof, inside a storage space etc…or that a neighbor heard a meow in their yard AT NIGHT …..each cat is different and needs our patience and determination…and getting the eyes and ears of your neighbors to help is KEY. Return to those addresses if no one is home. Take notes . The neighbors that aren’t home COULD have a laundry room or storage that they closed just before leaving town and you need to cover ALL possibilities to find kitty.
🐯 ASK YOUR NEIGHBORS to check their RING CAMERA and if they can add a missing cat alert in your neighborhood for you!
🐯 Make sure kitty's microchip is up to date and check for FOUND cats daily online and every 5 days at your local shelter/s. Remain positive and determined!. All your effort and love works together to find your sweet kitty
