Please post your major cross streets. Post on Nextdoor and Neighbors Ring apps. Indoor cats stay close to home and may hide. Put out items of unwashed clothing or towels with your scent on it, 🚫DO NOT put a litterbox outside or in your garage with door cracked despite others telling you to do so, it can attract predators, dogs or tomcats to the area that could endanger and chase him/her off preventing your cat from returning home.🚫 Go out multiple times between dusk and dawn with a flashlight to look for eyeshine, bring his/her treat bag and shake it while calling his/her name. You can even try a laser pointer toy and shine it around on the ground while out looking. If he/she is microchipped make sure your contact info is up to date and contact chip company to report as missing. Put up flyers within a 1 mile radius, not everyone uses social media. Talk to your neighbors, have them check garages, yards and sheds. Check the Henderson animal shelter daily, go in person also and bring a missing flyer of your cat to leave with them, they don’t always update their website daily. Most importantly be consistent and persistent, get out there on foot, not car, every day after sunset and search and don’t give up. And… Help a cat find their way home by: 1. Cut into strips their favorite unwashed blanket or items of clothing with your scent on it like socks, T-shirt or even a towel. 2. Tie the strips around posts, bushes, fencing from your house (several) to a 1 mile radius, placing more strips closer & closer to home to create a trail back home. 3. Leave their toys, food, water, something outside so if they make it back & you’re out, they stay. Often cats lose their way back home as they become disoriented. The premise behind this strategy is to guide them back to their house.
