https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2eCoC63B9I Here's a great YouTube video with helpful advice. If it’s an inside-only cat, chances are that it didn’t go far. Think of every place close by your home where your kitty could be hiding, go out at night with a flashlight calling his or her name, and even if the cat is too scared to come out to you, its eyes will pop right out in a dark space with the flashlight shining into them. Usually, they will hide during the day and come out at night when it's quiet and safe. Leave the door or window they escaped from open and they may sneak back in. When my daughter's dog got lost, we made up 100 flyers with his picture and three of us fanned out and handed out flyers to every home and business within a mile or so radius, as well as tacking them up on poster boards. Within three hours we got a call from someone with a flyer in hand and our pup was back home safely. Everyone with a flyer in hand has your phone number at the ready to call you if they see your lost cat. This works! Be sure to include on the flyer asking folks to check their outbuildings, as lost cats may go into an open door to find a place to hide, then get shut in. Consider setting up a humane trap. These traps can be purchased at local hardware stores or borrowed from animal shelters. If you catch a different animal, simply release it and reset the trap. Make sure you cover the trap with an old towel or blanket so the trapped animal will never be subjected to direct sunlight or rain. Be sure to check the trap frequently and let someone know you have a trap set just in case something happens to you. If you find your kitty, please consider getting a gps tracking collar for your pet, as well as putting an ID tag on his/her collar (PetSmart has machines that make these), and get a microchip in case it gets out again. I just bought four gps collars for my cats, $18 per collar on Amazon, and they work great! My prayers are with you!

General Information: Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. NO CAT BOX OR FOOD. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

If Toby is normally an INSIDE cat… then he is definitely scared and hiding and you will need to go out at NIGHT with a flashlight and look for his “glowing” eyes. He is VERY CLOSE to your house… most likely in YOUR OWN YARD. They usually find a hiding spot very quickly and very close to where they escaped. Look up in the trees and check under everything in YOUR YARD first… under decks, under sheds, inside bushes, wood piles and storm drains. Then check your neighbors yards. They are very good at hiding. THE BEST TIME TO FIND HIM IS AT NIGHT WITH A FLASHLIGHT AND HIS EYES WILL “GLOW” BACK AT YOU. Toby is so scared, he will NOT respond to you calling him, so you'll have to use your eyes instead of your ears to find him. When cats are suddenly outside, they go into "survival mode" and their entire personality changes. They will NOT wander. They find a hiding spot very close by and are very scared and will not come out for anyone... even their owners. I hope you find your fur-baby very soon!
