Message from Owner

Rebus has been staying with a friend while my mom has been in the hosp then rehabilitation. He escaped in an unfamiliar neighborhood. He is a sweet cat who may be wary of people he doesn't know.

Cats usally stay within 200 feet of the scent of thier home. Your cat maybe close by. (But if the cat is not spayed or neutered they can roam farther while in heat looking for a mate).or if someone has picked them up. Put out a pile of unwashed clothes on your porch. Cats can smell up to 2 miles. Do NOT put the cat’s litter box out on the porch as that attracts other cats and can scare your cat away. Put a safe trap there too. Line it with a towel or shirt with the scent from inside the house. If you don’t have a trap, borrow one. Local spca can lend them out. If you trap a cat that is not yours, just release it. Or check and make sure it is not someone else's lost pet. Notify all vets, shelters and spca and give them a picture. Make flyers with your contact info and picture and give to EVERY house within 1/4 mile. Ask neighbors to check their sheds, garages, etc. in case the cat accidentally got locked inside. Go outside and hunt under EVERYTHING, both during the day and at dusk with a flashlight softly calling your cats name and shaking a bag of treats. Look everywhere - under bushes, cars, porches, sheds…..this means neighbor's stuff too. Sometimes if you sit on your porch or outside in the yard and quietly talk to your cat, as if he or she were there, they will come out of hiding and come up to you. If they do, stay calm and don’t try to grab the cat. Wait until they get close and let the cat come to you. When the cat lets you pet them then you can attempt to pick it up.

If you can put out something heavy with your scent he will smell it your scent travels further will be more familiar and is a comforting scent which should draw him back home. Put it in a safe but accessible place near the area he disappeared from or usually hangs out in. He will probably be near it hiding in not to long a time. I've read recently in several rescues that this technique works. And the scent will last even if it rains and you can change the item every couple days. Putting Flyers in mail boxes and local vets and businesses doesn't hurt. Ask delivery people and mail personnel if they would take a flyer and keep an eye out they are in neighborhood and might see him. Check shelters and vets let them know your looking and that way if he's brought in they are aware he's lost . Good luck don't be afraid to call every couple of days. If you see him do not run after him he might be scared call to him let him know it's you carry his favorite toy treat or blanket to help reassure him.

Don't give up keep looking best in evening when it's quieter and dont be afraid to keep calling and asking people resend flyers recheck places anyone who may have shown to much intrest in your cat positive or negative in today's world you never know better to cover all bases and check out every and all possibilities i hate to think like that but I didn't and it cost me dearly and I never want anyone to go through that.
