Get some of his/her used cat litter ( not the whole box just a small pile, you may need later) put in a safe dry place near house , doorways where it will not get damaged or disturbed, if you have predators donāt put it out unless you are outside with it , even small amounts could attract them and itās important to monitor that litter and any food you put out .. put a blanket he sleeps on or you sleep on , shirt you wear that has not been washed etc out where he has a chance to catch the scent , they can smell a good distance, if have access to a trap large enough for him and can set it put food for him in it........ now.... not being familiar with the outside heās gonna be really scared and unless he was chased is probably closer than you think ..... they hunker down first safe hole or small area they feel halfway safe in and stay there.... even if you call they too scared to move...this said make sure they are not trapped inside a shed or crawl space within your household or a neighbors property you AND your neighbors need to take a flashlight look under , over , in between whatever and everything even smallest of places, flashlight will reflect the eyes so look for thatā¦..the cat doesnāt know a stranger so most likely wonāt just stroll out to them so must find the eyes to know they are actually in there ā¦.go out late evening ( let neighbors know you will be out looking late so they are not startled call baby gently calmly ..warm smelly food to entice its hunger ....if threatened they may climb very high in a tree so also donāt forget to check them....get signs up immediately... even if handwritten in ziploc gallon bags with the zipper down to protect flyer from rain Etc make sure it can be EASILY READ from the road!! People will not stop to read it.... but if they can easily read from the road or see a picture if they know something they will get out of their car to get the phone number..... if they canāt read it and they do know something you just lost your contact to your baby.... do this quickly....šš Do NOT GIVE UP!!!!ā¦.. I am also going to add here that in this day and time itās beyond disheartening that some people with not honest intentions are trying to play on innocent owners missing their babies and their hearts are aching for any clue on getting their loved ones back homeā¦ Iāve been thereā¦ Iāve gotten text from people saying Iāve found your pet so and soā¦ I need you to prove you are real ownersā¦ or I work with vets Iāll keep eyes open, then text later want more privacy infoā¦. BEWAREā¦ these are almost always not legit ā¦..If they say they have your pet , ok send me a picture of the animal you think is mine and if it is Iāll prove Iām the owner with more pictures or vet records, do not do the google code , do not buy gift cards ,do not text this weird number for a tracker ā¦or a tracker on āwhats appā¦instagram, or some other potentially shady site that doesnāt have a legit website or verification referenceā¦... or new one this spiritual person lead me to my cat call them ā¦ā¦most people donāt want anything to get your baby back to you , they are thrilled to have found their home , perhaps they will ask for a picture to make sure they turn over baby to the right person but gift cards, codes, noā¦. .if you need a tracker ,call a vet or a rescue ask for legit recommendations of a tracker and most actually have a website already and can be validated by one call to a legit rescue, Iām the first to want to make sure the baby truly goes to the right owners, just be careful ššššš
