*** this is a template I post to help, I do not research companies who search for pets, there are some good ones who do help. Just do your due diligence and please be careful of those telling you to go to pages, sites, etc. for help, they may be legit or may not, just check them out.. Any company or person who helps find pets will have a legitimate business and advertise you can find on multiple places with an internet search.. here is good info about scams https://www.bbb.org/article/scams/8612-lost-pet-watch-out-for-this-text-message-scam Check local Humane Society, county shelters and local rescues. Also post on Pawboost .com, nextdoor .com and the vets .com plus petco lost and found onlinr. See if there is a Facebook page "lost and found pets of (your county and surrounding counties)... check Humane Society and local animal shelter daily, they usually only give 3 days before adopting out. Post flyers locally and on doors of local businesses who will allow.. Make a sign with photo and place in your yard or apt_condo window if allowed. The more people who see the better. Check local rescues too. Contact your microchip company and flag the chips as lost pets and make sure all your contact info is updated. See if your neighbors have security video with your pet leaving or being picked up. If you adopted and don't know if microchipped (most are) contact the rescue, shelter, etc and get the microchip info to contact and update. https://www.preventivevet.com/dogs/how-to-update-your-pets-microchip https://www.petco.com/content/petco/PetcoStore/en_US/pet-services/resource-center/seasonal-topics/Tips-to-Find-Lost-Pets.html

Valerie Maddox When your cat disappears: Cats don't normally go far, unless they are not fixed. They'll stay close to home. If he has a litter box, I'd put that outside on a carport or anywhere near the house. They say cats can smell their own scent in the litter from great distances away. Some say not to put the litter box outside, but it makes sense that if they can smell it, they will find their way back to it. Also put any blankets or bedding your cat uses. Take a flashlight out after dark and shine for eyes. Cats will be scared and will hide under anything they can get under, so look low & high. After a couple of days, he will be hungry. If all else fails, get a trap & set it. Watch it overnight, when the cat will more than likely come around. If you have a camera, set that up so you can see what comes nearby. Don't worry if you trap a different cat or even a possum or raccoon, you can just set them free. Never relocate them. Beware of trappers in your neighborhood also! These are the worst kind of predators. I hope your cat comes home soon. 💜
