🐈‍⬛LOST CATS: Please follow my (original) advice. No litter box outside, no food outside. It will attract other animals including other cats who will keep your cat away if trying to return home. ⬇️ Distribute Flyers- by knocking on doors to your neighbors and handing them out, and posted them on poles etc. as well even to any businesses close by? This step is crucial to recovering your cat! Speak to people in person. I cannot stress enough, the importance of knocking on doors speaking to people and handing them a “lost cat” flyer at the same time. This is how you get sightings and this is what will bring your cat home. If you get a sighting you need to set and MONITOR a humane trap at the sighting location right away and at morning dusk. *NEVER LEAVE A TRAP UNATTENDED. You can use rotisserie chicken and Friskies Whitefish and Sardines canned food as bait. Cats usually stay within a one mile radius from home. Most are found very close to home as in a few houses away or next street over. They are usually found (after getting sightings and with trapping) very close to their own home. Some come home on their own, usually in the overnight hours. Concentrate on canvassing your own neighborhood, however, in case the sighting was not of your cat. Cats don’t usually go far. They usually will try to return home between 10 PM and 5 AM with peak hours being 3-5 AM. Put a worn shirt of yours on your porch or near the door and continue to replace with a fresh one daily. Do NOT put a litter box outside. It will attract male unneutered cats who will spray property and chase your cat away if trying to return home. Some cats stay hidden for 3 weeks traveling at night. Flyers generate sightings.

If not already Contact HARTT They have the best record for Reuniting Contact them completing form no on website https://azhartt.org/programs-services/lostpethelp/ Fill out their online request form and they will contact you. A spayed or neutered cat will not go far from home. Usually not even a block. Put her/his litter box and put some dirty clothes outside ASAP and put favorite bowls of water out (no food attracts wild life) intermittently up and down your street hidden under bushes. This is called a scent trail and will hopefully bring him home. Leave your garage door open a few inches so he can come in. Go out in the evening and before the sunrise and shake her/his favorite treats and search with a flashlight in cozy dark areas. Many cats get stuck somewhere so make sure you check your home and yard very thoroughly. There was a kitty recently that was missing for 36 hours. The owner finally heard a small meow and she had been stuck behind the stove that entire time. Get out walking about 9-11 pm 2-3 mile radius calling kitty names and listening, and walk early in the morning.5-7a.m. Ask neighbors to check security cams/ ring Leave a window open for access overnight. Get flyers out in radius. Leave something out you have worn. Leave water for all living things. Take Flashlight with you light picks up eyes in dark
