She/he could easily have ventured further than normal from being scared off from either prey or loud noises pushing her/him away from where it’s familiar. Try going outside their usual perimeter and placing things that smell of home (like shreds of a blanket or shirt, or vacuum bag contents) trailing back to your area that she/he knows. If indoor only… 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. -put out (unwashed) cat bed/blankets/your clothes that smell of home -put up posters in your area- important-not everyone is on facebook + if someone sees your cat but cannot find your lost cat post -leave a basement window or garage door open enough they can get in.

UPDATE: Kookoo is home!! 🤍🐾 After 2 days of searching and worrying, we heard him meowing as loud as he could around 5:30 during the thunder and rain. We ran outside and found him, and we’re beyond grateful to have him back home safe. Thank you so much to everyone who shared, gave advice, and kept him in your prayers we truly appreciate every one of you. ❤️

Laurel Noble Thank you so much for all the advice and for caring enough to help ❤️ I’ll definitely try putting out his blanket and some clothing with our scent, and I’ll look into posting on Nextdoor as well. I really appreciate everyone’s support and I’m hoping and praying he comes home safely soon.

Mariah Shaat Also put out his bed/blanket and some of the family’s worn clothing as the scent can help him find his way home if he’s disoriented or lost his way. Put up posters asap. Post on the Nextdoor app. If possible, crack the garage door and/or house window so he can make his way inside if he comes home. Hopefully he is microchipped and someone takes him in to be scanned. When he comes home, keep him 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 him! 😿

Amy Reed Thank you so much for your advice ❤️ I checked the Mississauga Animal Services website and he isn’t there, but I’ve been calling his name and searching around the area. I’m going to try again tomorrow, especially at night with a bag of treats. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us.

Check the Mississauga Animal Services website- found pets section, in case he’s found and turned in to their shelter. Put up posters all over the neighbourhood. Go out and walk the area at night while calling for him and shaking a bag of treats. They can hear you better at night and usually aren’t too far from home. After you find him, please consider keeping him indoors. Good luck!
