🐈‍⬛LOST CATS: Please follow my (original) 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. ⬇️ Distribute 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.

For Lost Dog Do immediately, if not already done. Put your dirty clothes outside in yard. The dogs bed or bedding. Anything with that "familiar family smell". They say dogs can Smell up to a mile away. Check the Maricopa shelter. Post flyers. Don't give up. Post on your local neighborhood Nextdoor group. Also if the pup is microchipped make sure to call the chip company make sure chip info is current Also my ask them to flag pup as missing/lost.

Let your neighbors know - post flyers. Go out looking at dawn and dusk, and after dark - use a flashlight and look for eyeshine. Think like a cat and check all the hiding places - she may be trapped in a shed or garage. Put her cat bed and dirty clothes or blanket that smell like you outside your door to help her smell her way home. Good luck.

Try putting her bedding and a damp towel with your scent on it outside. If you ever get her back, keep her inside and get her microchipped.
