My heart goes out to you. I have been through it myself. Here are some tips I've put together over years of working with rescue. * Don't wait for them to come home. Yes, they may do that, but most cats are scared and go hiding in small places, mostly close to home, a few houses or a block away. (They can go a few miles if chased or desperate, mostly in desperation looking for water and food.) They hide under cars, decks, patios, porches, in sheds, drain pipes, stairs, window wells, garages, bushes, woods, up trees, roofs, etc. Walk around calling their name, shaking a treat bag or favorite toy with bell. Carry smelly food to encourage them if scared and hiding. Listen very, very carefully for low meows. Use a flashlight to catch and reflect their eyes. A good time to go looking is twilight and very early morning/pre-dawn, when it’s quiet and calm so they may feel safer to come out and it’s also feeding time. * Talk to and alert everyone you know and that lives in your vicinity, as well as local businesses. Notify and check with animal control/shelters/humane societies and local veterinary offices. Post on and check lost sites, such as Lost Cats of Wisconsin (file your report there to create your free flyer and a post on Pet FBI), Nextdoor, various community FB pages, Craig's List. Post flyers on corners/posts, in front of your home, and with neighbors, businesses, and anyone in the vicinity. * Put out a carrier or something right outside your door for shelter and safety. Place clothing/blankets with a familiar scent, yours and/or theirs, inside or nearby. * Searching, go out a few blocks, then back close, then out farther and back close. You may miss the cat or the cat may move or may not be meowing. Repeat over and over, looking carefully on the ground for paw prints and for places they might hide. * If you have a garage, leave open with smelly food favorites, water, clothing/blankets with familiar scent, their old litter box in garage. If you have a family dog who is close to the cat, give the dog something with the cat’s scent and then a treat; and then go walking around, watching your dog very carefully. You can even do this with another cat close to home, if you have a cat harness and leash. * Get or borrow a humane live animal trap and set it up with tuna or some other smelly cat food. Be sure to check it frequently. But in extreme weather, do not set it unless you can monitor it constantly and bring in immediately if caught. * And never stop looking! Never give up! Too many give up too soon. It may take weeks or more before you find and/or someone turns in your cat to an animal shelter. Make sure to contact and also GO IN PERSON to your local shelter/humane society to look at all of the cats they have there. Don’t rely on just pictures or the person answering the phone to have all updated info on who they have there. They do their best, but you need to check in person on a regular basis.

STEPS TO TAKE IF YOUR CAT IS LOST Cats go into survival mode when lost. They hide close to home at first, in bushes, up trees 🌲 under cars 🚗 , inside the wheel wells 🛞 of cars, under decks and behind lattices under decks . Call for them when it’s quiet, shake a treat bag. Put some smelly cat food that’s 🐠 flavor, outside your door, kitties always try to find a food source and will travel farther away until they find one. If it’s dark outside, use a flashlight 🔦 to look for “eye shine” 👁️ under bushes and cars. ***OPEN YOUR GARAGE DOOR🚪 a bit so they can come inside, put some unwashed clothing 👕 on the floor.*** FLYERS FLYERS FLYERS! Make some flyers (on brightly colored paper 📝 with a picture) and post them in the area. Contact animal control, local rescue groups and check Craigslist. Join and post on Lost Pet groups on Facebook in your area. Post on Nextdoor app. And ask neighbors to check their sheds and garages garage’s Cats get accidentally locked inside garages and sheds— 😢 CHECK OPEN/UNCOVERED WINDOW WELLS!! Cats can get trapped down inside them. Hopefully all these tips will bring your kitty home 🐈‍⬛ 🏡

The only way a lost cat can find its way home is with its nose. They have to use their sense of smell to get home again. Put anything outside that smells like their territory. Put the pajamas you slept in outside because you probably sweated in them. Put out their food your stinky socks your smelly sneakers anything you can think of that the cat will recognize by smell. Cats usually stay within a five house radius of their own home for up to a week or so sleeping in the bushes during the day and coming out at dusk and dawn. Those are good times to take a walk shaking the treat bag calling out but cats also tend to come out and walk around very late at night. Try to keep a door cracked if you can whether it's the garage or whatever or a window cracked so you can hear them if they call out for you. Put this on all of the neighborhood pages as well as lost and found pets sites. Knock on the neighbors doors and make sure they know you're looking for your cat. Good luck PS cats can smell up to one mile away from their own house. Absolutely no litterbox outside or food. It attracts predators is why. Never give up.

Colleen Riehl We’ve been outside since 11 AM trying to find her. We last saw her in the morning then when we called her to come eat she didn’t, and we haven’t seen her since. We’ve been searching all around the block, but we still can’t find her. We checked her AirTag, but it hasn’t been updating. It keeps showing that she’s at home, even though she’s not here, and we can’t connect to it to make it play a sound. We’re really worried and just want to find her and bring her home safely.
