You can purchase a trap from Tractor Supply or Home Depot or Amazon or see if you can borrow or rent one from a local rescue or TNR group. Put a piece of your clothing with your scent on it inside and some wet food and set the trap and cover it with a towel (they feel more secure hidden) and monitor it.🙏❣️ remember kitties are naturally nocturnal, so they will hide during the day and move at night time looking for a food source or trying to get home. This is when most of us are sleeping.That's why the trap is ideal. Monitor the trap. If you catch a critter go ahead and release it and wash the trap and reset. They leave a smell behind which may deter your baby from going in. If you catch another kitty, you can always take it to a local vet or shelter for a free chip check and you might be able to help return someone else's missing baby home.♥️ also get a big sign in the front yard so in case someone does have or sees this baby and does not see this post, they can contact the owner that way. Also get lots of signs posted in the neighborhood. Keep checking on your local county FB group pages. You can search the group by "cat" to see all the cat posts only💗

I’m so sorry you lost your cat. Here are some tips that might help: This has become a random article of tips and tendencies of cats when they escape outside. Not everything can be done all year due to weather but it’s still valuable knowledge should your cat be out of doors. Best of luck. Use sardines (not olive oil) juice trace up to entrance of house - place sardines inside door and leave door ajar for them to enter. There’s also these tips; IF YOUR CAT GETS OUT 🐾 📌 Please Take Our Tips: THESE MAY SOUND CRAZY BUT CATS ARE NOT LIKE HUMANS THEY RATIONALIZE DIFFERENTLY Put something that smells like you, on your porch or lawn. Leave bowls of food out - tuna/sardines, rotisserie chicken. Pour chicken broth up the sidewalk to your front door. SCENT IS EVERYTHING !! Do these things right now. Go out searching after it's dark and quiet. Cats come out of hiding after dark, especially between 2-5 AM. Bring a bag of treats to shake. Stand in front of your house and call softly. Many times cats will come running. FLIERS MUST GO UP ASAP TO GET SIGHTINGS. Every pole/tree/neighbors stoops/porches. Offer reward. Give fliers to mailman, UPS drivers, fed ex drivers, etc. Local supermarket, dry cleaners, drug store should have a flier. Call local dog control officer and report the cat as lost. Ditto for shelters. You must visit shelters - the person on the phone doesn't know every pet brought in. Delegate to friends so that you get the posters up ASAP!!!! We've recently reunited cats that were stuck in neighbor's sheds/garages and basements. Look under bushes, in/behind sheds, or neighbor's porches with flashlight. It'll make the cat's eyes glow so you can spot it. Don't drive around! If your cat is an indoor only cat, it hasn't travelled more than 2-4 blocksaway. *Very important- leave a door or window open, no matter what weather, for him to come back in in the middle of the night. Use a scratching post or chair in front of it to facilitate that. Put some food near. Many cats are scared but will come out after dark and return inside. Most cats return between 2-5 AM. This is from a study that was done on lost cats: Cats are very different from dogs when panicked. They are territorial and your cat’s territory was inside of your home. Once a cat is transplanted into unfamiliar territory, fear sets in and it seeks shelter because it is afraid. They panic immediately and look to hide usually near the escape point or within a 5-house radius of their home where they've never been before. Cats that are afraid (and cats that are injured) will seek areas of concealment such as under a deck, under a house, under a porch, or in heavy brush and they will not meow! Panicked cats hide in silence. Silence is their only protective measure from predators. They can stay concealed for days, sometimes weeks! Just because you don’t see or hear your cat DOES NOT mean he or she is not right there, hiding in fear from the loud noises, etc. Some will not meow! Meowing would give up their location to a predator. Their behavior has nothing to do with whether the cat loves you, whether it recognizes your voice, or whether it can smell you–it has everything to do with the fact that most frightened cats will hide in silence! The Threshold Factor: This is an interesting behavioral pattern that Missing Pet Partnership has observed with displaced cats. Many of these cats initially hide in silence, but eventually break cover and meow, return to their home or the escape point (window or door), or finally enter a humane trap. While some cats take only hours or a few days to reach their threshold, many others take several days (typically ten to twelve days) before they break cover. We suspect the threshold is reached due to their thirst, although more research needs to be conducted into this behavior. Some people have slept out on their porch and their lost cat jumped up on them at 5am to sleep- best Idea I’ve heard yet. In an attempt to capture your cat, use humane traps with sardines in your yard or in your neighbor’s yard where your cat is likely hiding in fear. If you choose not to, place small amounts of cat food (and water) and hopefully you’ll eventually be able to determine where the cat is hiding. If your cat is microchipped, please call the company to make sure they have your correct info in case someone takes your kitty to be checked and so they can contact you Also: inquire on the Local Feral Cat rescue FB page it might join a colony and eat with them. Give your location and ask if any group has seen a new cat hanging around. Though ferals will fight him for the food.

Please put smaller handout flyers (print 4/pg) in churches, schools, stores, restaurants, any place crowds go and can pick one up. Keep them simple - not over crowded with information. Also hang full size flyers in the neighborhood and hand out to all your neighbors. Give a few to each person you see that has a job that moves - mail, ups, fedx, landscapers, road crews, plows, etc, restaurants that deliver, floral, I also ask local pizza places if you can stick one to each box so they go out with the delivery. Flyers on poles etc where people see when they drive - make as simple and large as possible to read while driving and putting in plastic page holder upside down and sealed will help protect against weather. Also give flyers to all the local veterinarians in the area. Ask if local TV and radio stations will do a short announcement and post on their pages. Also post on the RING app and next door app for people who don’t have social media.
