Hope some of these ideas will help... 🔻PUT OUT neon LOST posters, have your neighbors check their ring cams, sheds, garages, under the hood of their cars. Look up in trees, under bushes. 🔻PUT OUT worn clothing, SOCKS, blankets, pillowcases, if possible place where they can blow, cats can smell up to a mile away. Typically they do not travel more than 5 to 7 houses away from home. They are more likely to move at dawn and dusk. Use a flash light then to look for your kitty's eye reflection. If you have a back door, garage door, leave slightly open in case they come home to find shelter there, also call QUIETLY his/her name, shake treats if they respond to that having the door open to a safe space that it can come running back to. They're usually scared and resort to survival instincts, do not chase. ⚠️⚠️IT IS NOT advised to put their litter box outside as it can attract other outside critters and keep your cat from coming back home 👉this being said some people do find the litterbox to be a good scent trigger for their cat: 🔻PLEASE monitor the box and NEVER leave outside after dark. 🔻SAME for food, only leave out if you can monitor. Notify your microchip company, mail carrier, your local shelter. Post on neighborhood apps & local lost and found groups in your area (via FB). 👀 If you do have sightings of your kitty and are unable to get them back inside please ask for help in setting a ❤️humane trap. ⚠️⚠️⚠️CAUTION👉with suggestions to contact a lost pet person or service, they should be local and well recommended! A message from someone saying they found your cat and to send a 6 digit code, it's a scam! PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP!🙏

please keep us posted and it might be a good idea that you keep him in the house, especially with this air quality and things happen and you don’t want to lose your cat.

Poor poor baby prayers post some ads up around the area rewards always helps go out walking the neighborhood, knocking on doors ask your local neighbors to check their garages sheds under decks under vehicles behind bushes go several times during the day and several times laid at night with a flashlight, shaking a treat bag calling for your cat leave a window open or a garage door open sometimes I come back home and try to get back into the house prayers they are usually found within 5 to 10 houses from home. They usually come home between the hours of 12 AM and 7 AM when it’s very quiet outside keep your eyes and ears open prayers sharing Wyoming Michigan post some ads on local Lost and Found pet sites such as neighbors next-door and craigslist and for the love of Louie County and paws Boost and Kent County lost and found pets. See if your cat is on here as found or put your cat on here as missing you can also try putting your cats bed, blanket toys, and some of your dirty clothing from inside the house. Do not wash these items such as T-shirt, sweaters, blanket sheets, put these items out on your porch. Keep your eyes open animals. Have a great sense of smell change outside items every couple of days this works great for cats and dogs. This work for me and my cats several times over the years prayers if it rains change outside items daily what a cutie prayers
