Please fill out the lost forms at lostmykitty. com, pawboost. com, petfbi .com, petfinder. com. All rescues/shelters/pd/vets/lost and found groups use those sites. Thousands will see the post. I've also noticed a lot more pet posts on the Ne ighbo rs, N extDo or and Ring apps as well as Cra igsl ist. When you check Cr aig slis t, check not only the lost and found section, but the for sale sections as well. Make it a point to share the lost flyer with every vet you can, near and far....you never know if someone picked up kitty and brought them to where they live....i.e. next town over, so keep that in mind. Also post at any business that will let you. Look to join local fb groups and ask to share the post from Helping Lost Pets when it's available....Not just the lost pets local groups, the ones that are watches, news, etc. Make sure to post on the "Pet Alert" page.... Additionally, put kitty's litterbox outside, cats can smell their litterbox up to a mile away. If you have any dirty laundry, put as much as you can outside your house...sprinkle it around your property. Keep your garage or porch doors open a couple inches to allow the cat to get to a safe space. Cats usually travel 1 square block per week, so kitty is probably close. Try sitting outside and talking in a normal, quieter voice....like if you were on the phone. Cats get very skittish if they sense fear or irritation in a voice. Try luring the cat out of hiding with a laser pointer, if you have one. Talk to every neighbor in a 2 block radius and ask them to check their garages, sheds and window wells. Ask some local kids to help you find or let you know if they see kitty. Finally, listen for neighborhood dogs barking for seemingly no reason...they could be barking at a hiding cat.... Best of luck and don't give up hope. ALSO: There are no legitimate pet trackers on Ins tag ram, Wh atsA pp, gm ail or via text. They are all scammers....
