Please post a better picture or two of the face and body of your cat. Please follow my advice. No litter box outside, no food outside. It will attract other animals including other cats who will keep your cat away if trying to return home. ⬇️ Have you distributed flyers- by knocking on doors to your neighbors and handing them out, and posted them on poles etc. as well even to any businesses close by? This step is crucial to recovering your cat! Speak to people in person. I cannot stress enough, the importance of knocking on doors speaking to people and handing them a “lost cat” flyer at the same time. This is how you get sightings and this is what will bring your cat home. If you get a sighting you need to set and MONITOR a humane trap at the sighting location right away and at morning dusk. *NEVER LEAVE A TRAP UNATTENDED. You can use rotisserie chicken and Friskies Whitefish and Sardines canned food as bait. Cats usually stay within a one mile radius from home. Most are found very close to home as in a few houses away or next street over. They are usually found (after getting sightings and with trapping) very close to their own home. Some come home on their own, usually in the overnight hours. Concentrate on canvassing your own neighborhood, however, in case the sighting was not of your cat. Cats don’t usually go far. They usually will try to return home between 10 PM and 5 AM with peak hours being 3-5 AM. Put a worn shirt of yours on your porch or near the door and continue to replace with a fresh one daily. Do NOT put a litter box outside. It will attract male unneutered cats who will spray property and chase your cat away if trying to return home. Some cats stay hidden for 3 weeks traveling at night. Flyers generate sightings.

You can help your kitty find his way home The best person to get the kitty back is you. Very important. Food & water. Very important to keep calling your Cat day & night when it’s most quiet. Get a flashlight and at night check to see if you see glowing eyes …Also get a camera, so you can see what’s going on when you’re not there. Please don’t waste time help your kitty find their way home. Please follow these steps to help your kitty to come home 🏡… really keep calling kitty in dusk, & Dawn. Put things out the litter. Anything you have from your brush hair anything tie it to something by your door that kitty remembers. This will help Kitty smell and find his way home. I do TNR please If you follow these steps you are sure to get your kitty....Please get a trail camera or any kind of camera wifi camera’s are great, so u can see what is going on when u r not around. I got mine at Walmart or s sporting even Amazon for less than $30, put it by the trap, we’re you will put kitty food out. You could get A trap from A shelters near you, and try to place trap by Bush, a hedge camouflage with large leaves. With food in the back. sprinkle kitties Litter! cats can smell up to 500 to 1000 feet. sprinkle a little left right back in front of your house. took me one month to get my cat back. Stay on top of it every day. prayers.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Also check local Animal Control,rescues & shelters, Vets, Police Station, & ask your neighbors check every so many days if you can, it’s some work, but file a missing kitty report provide them with a picture, I would say try the whole radius of your block not just a couple of houses to see if anyone saw kitty. Sometimes it takes a few days or more for kitty to come out of hiding. 🐾🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😿
