He has always come home within a couple days. But keeps escaping again. So he knows where home is.

Still no update. A neighbor mentioned she had seen him last Sunday or her mom.... But hasn't seen him since and a neighbor on her street was also missing a cat. It was brought to my attention that someone in the neighborhood is trapping and relocating them. 🤬 I'm going to assume without contacting anyone if they are missing a pet first. I understand with my kitty being unfixed, but he's also still young and very people friendly and well fed. I can only pray he's in the hands of good people. This isn't the first time he's been out. He has figured out several ways of getting outside and I'm constantly trying to find solutions. So I'm sure some neighbors may be familiar with him being around. My next step is to make posters. Just need ink for the printer. I'm devastated. Me and my son have been praying together every night for his safe return.

The best time to look for a cat is late at night after the daytime sounds settle down. Go for a walk and take a flashlite scan into the trees and under bushes. A cat can fit in any hole that they can fit their head thru they have collapsible shoulder blades. Most indoor cats stay close to home but come out at night. Most important is to make your presence known. Go out every half hour after 9pm and call for them and stop and listen it's amazing what you can hear late at night. Get your voice and scent out there. They are looking for you also. Look for glowing eyes at night. If there is a dog sibling that the cat likes take the dog on the walk. If you open canned cat food or shake treats do so on your walk. If the cat has a noisy toy shake it on your walk. Make posters and put in every business within a mile of the home. Let your mail carrier know. If there are teenagers in the neighborhood let them know they love reward money and being a hero. Check all local shelters. Let local veterinarians know your info. If there is a feral colony near you check it out. If you can find the feeder of the colony give them your info. Make large signs and put in neighbors yards at least a mile radius of the home. This ensures that everyone in the area has the info. Put post it notes on your neighbors doors to look in sheds and garages. Post on every Facebook forum in your area. Post on Pawboost and For the love of Louie. Check Humane Society. So important to make your presence known every half hour after 9pm. Make a bed out of the cats carrier and put soiled clothes from inside the home around the bed. Put it as close to the house as you can. Leave a shed or garage open check them often. Camp in your yard. Most indoor cats are found late at night. Don't give up. Do not put food out or litter it attracts every animal in the area including raccoon opossum feral cats and coyotes. Your cat will know that there is food inside and that is incentive to keep them close to the house. If you are outside that's OK but take it in when you go back in. If your cat sees a predator eating their food it might make them retreat further. Most important is to let them know you are looking for them. Hope you find your baby

Check inside of sheds, garages, vehicles, and even up in trees. Contact your local Humane Society, animal shelter, veterinarian offices, and rescue groups. Post flyers around your area and ask your neighbors. 🙏🏻
