Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be killed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.

Shared. Post Tofu on Nextdoor as well and check for updates on both websites. Check the shelters frequently, both in person and online. File a missing report while you're there. Contact local rescue groups just in case. Not everyone checks social media, post flyers in the area. Include veterinary offices and pet stores when you post the flyers. Ask your neighbors to check their garages, back yards, storage sheds, under porches and parked vehicles, bushes and trees, etc. Be there with Tofu's carrier and a bag of his favorite treats. An open can of food (and a spoon) works well too. Shake the bag or tap the can while you call out to him. Keep your voice calm. Any stress in your voice will alert him to stay hidden. Search around the neighborhood when it's quieter, right when it's getting dark is a good time to start searching. Take a flashlight,the carrier, and the bag of treats (or the can and spoon). Search out of the way spots, check bushes and trees, and under parked vehicles. Keep in mind that cats can squeeze into very tight spaces! So if in doubt, check it out. Also be sure to search areas where he might be looking for food, water, and shelter (like the dumpster area of a restaurant for example). Good luck 💖
