If needed:- TRY PET DETECTIVE UK‼️ PETS REUNITED ‼️ PET GUIDE APP ‼️ DRONE FOR MISSING PETS‼️ I seem to post multiple times a day in relation to missing cats.. 😪 It just doesn’t seem safe for cats on the streets these days.. 😔 Quite a long one but in hope it’s useful.. ❤️ You’ve probably done lots of the following but just Hoping to help you find your gorgeous cat ❤️ I copied and paste from a lady’s great advice from a post on here.. Don’t give up and really hope your gorgeous cat is reunited with you very soon 🙏 ❤️ REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT KEEP CALLING EARLY HOURS 2-3am TAKE SMELLY FOOD SARDINES ETC SHE COULD BE SO TERRIFIED IT COULD TAKE A FEW ATTEMPTS CALLING HER... SHE WONT BE FAR JUST HIDING AND SCARED FAMILIAR smells leave outside used cat litter sprinkled around the garden, never a litter tray or other cats will use it and stop your cat coming home Trainers,, Insoles,, Slippers, Socks, Stinky cat blanket not on the ground maybe pegged on line away from other cats CONSIDER WHY THEY ARE MISSING THINK LIKE A CAT A CAT USED TO GOING OUTSIDE: something has happened to interrupt the cat’s behaviour of coming home. Cats are territorial and do not just run away from home. Something will have spooked the cat and it has bolted out of its familiar territory and ended up in a garden it has never been in before. Cats just hide mostly when scared. They don’t just wander around. 1. A SOUND - Cats have extremely acute hearing and are naturally terrified of loud noises such as thunder, a car horn, a dog barking, a refuse lorry coming down the road emptying bins. The younger the cat the more easily they are scared by noises and bolt. 2. A LOCAL BOLD and DOMINANT CAT – will size up to a more timid cat to exert control over the territory. 4. An UN-NEUTERED MALE CAT will scare off all local cats in his endless searching over miles seeking a female. His instinct is to dominate in all territories and intimidate and fight with all local cats. - [ ] INDOOR ONLY cat who has escaped is very different, it will be MUCH CLOSER to home in the first hiding space it can find. It will be terrified finding itself suddenly outside. It will hide immediately very nearby but too panicked to respond to being called. - [ ] A cat NEW TO AN AREA through moving house or being re-homed will also find being outside frightening and will hide away • The majority of cats 75% were found within 500 metres (1/3 of a mile) of their home (or escape point). Indoor only cats were closest to home often up to 10 houses distance. INDOOR CATS will stay very close by hiding it is important that they have access to be able to get back in the house or a shed with bedding and food all on this list also apply CONTACT Vets within 20 mile radius, if microchipped advise company they may supply you with free posters *check details are up to date* KNOCK ON DOORS 200M radius of home ask if you can do the search of garden and outbuildings and garage look in/under behind everything lots of cats are trapped and will not come out for strangers Search Google maps where in 200m area can a cat hide or visit buildings warehouses graveyards, businesses shops building sites play areas search and poster these areas A lot of cats are eventually found within 2/3 streets away from home just keep calling quiet hours so they can hear your voice then repeat repeat repeat.. might take a few attempts until they come out from hiding as they could be so terrified.. CHECK in Gardens/under Decking/Outbuildings under Cars Hedges up Trees Between Houses Sheds etc Cats can get wedged there and frightened cats do not make a sound Check if any neighbours have Ring or CCTV Check if any Vacant properties have they managed to get shut in Check if you or neighbours have had any deliveries has cat got into van? SEARCH late at night Early morning proven best time 3-4am it is a time of night cats feel safe and will hear you, only call and shake treats when walking back towards home so as to not drive further away Take a torch to shine on you and not your cat take something familiar to shake, biscuits, toy with a bell SIT in your garden in the early hours when quiet and open a tin of something smelly sardines, tuna put house light on sit and call softly and wait they may hear you and smell food ANY cats missing for more than 6 days will be in a state of panic ALSO He/she may be trapped …when posting flyers through doors ask people To really search in sheds, garages, summerhouses etc and behind crates, pallets, boxes, anything stashed against the walls. WARN them a frightened cat may keep still and quiet and not dash out when the door is opened ARE there clumps of brambles or scrub nearby where cat maybe stuck? Call when quiet and wait for a response RENOVATIONS OR BUILDING DEVELOPMENTS nearby Ask the site foreman or someone there to check onsite and in homes cats have been found under floorboards and trapped in part and finished houses CREATE some posters with picture detailed description when and area/road missing from and phone number but NOT actual address Put through doors and posters up near to schools, nurseries, Drs surgeries and Surrounding roads 200m to start with CONTACT local council to see if they have picked up cat from roadside better to know councils poop should keep records of cats picked up SOCIAL Media your timeline/Groups/Pages make sure your cat is visible to Everyone & remember not everyone uses social media ADVERTS POSTERS and FLYERS are a MUST ALSO contact Local CATS PROTECTION , - [ ] ANIMAL WELFARE ANIMALSEARCH UK ALSO CHECK SELLING SITES GUMTREE ETC

Please place his bedding outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing front and back door with a can of tuna on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well. Also vacuumed home dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home enterence . Show your neighbors a picture of the cat. Ten houses to the left ten house to the right front and back if they spot him to give you a call immediately. Go early in the morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Best of luck finding your kitty 🙏 ❤️
