He is still missing. We are so sad and concerned. It’s hot in aliso viejo. We did put up flyers at the apartment complex(although removed this am) but are reposting them with management approval at Vista Bella apartments. We are searching Ridgecrest park too. Please share. Thanks

Chris Ensch - don’t give up hope as kitties do make it home safely but they do need a safe passage way back inside too… even with it being a new area to him. Your scent trail and an access point needs to remain open. 🙏🏼

🚨 LOST INDOOR CAT – URGENT TIPS TO HELP BRING THEM HOME SAFELY 🚨 If your cat has gone missing and is usually indoors, here are critical steps to take: 🏠 Create a Safe Way for Your Cat to Return • Leave a door or window open (ideally the one they escaped from), even overnight—cats often return in the quiet late-night or early-morning hours. • Crack your garage door slightly to allow safe entry. • Place your worn, unwashed clothes up off the ground outside—your scent can help guide them home. • Do NOT place food, water, or litter boxes outside—these can attract other animals and deter your cat from returning. 🐾 Help Them Feel Safe • If you have other pets, keep them secured in a separate room to avoid scaring the missing cat away if they return. 🧭 Search Nearby and Alert Others • Cats typically don’t go far—they may be hiding under decks, in bushes, sheds, garages, or yards close to home. • Talk to your neighbors and ask them to check around their property. • Request that neighbors check doorbell or security cameras (like Ring) for sightings. 📣 Spread the Word – Not Everyone Uses Social Media • Put up physical signs ASAP—include a clear photo and contact info. • Post online in multiple places: • Facebook (your page and local lost pet groups) • Nextdoor • PawBoost Lost & Found • Ring Neighbors app ⚠️ Beware of Scams • If someone contacts you saying they have your cat and asks for money or asks you to verify a code, do NOT respond—this is a scam.

General Information: Usually, indoor cats are close to home. Check possible hiding places in your home. Hang clothes with your scent on it high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check your doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes- bring a flashlight and look for the shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe to venture out. Leave an access point open for the cat to return as they will come back the same way they left. This is very important as they often do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely.

He is chipped, so hopefully that helps too. We will continue to search the apartment complex again.
