If he is an indoor only cat he will not go far. Usually within a five house radius. He is hiding close by and will be elusive. Walk up and down your neighborhood while shaking your favorite bag of food or treats or whatever brings your kitty running to you at all times of morning , day and night. You may also want to consider using one of those toy laser lights at night to bring your cat out of hiding. Knock on neighbor’s doors and give them a good contact number in case they see him. Very important in case they are stuck in a garage or shed or God forbid even hurt. Not everyone will see your fliers and post. If you have a garage or front door, leave it cracked open just enough for kitty and leave bedding or clothing that has your scent, also leave food and water, but be aware of predators. Remember in most cases, he will be close by, so don’t give up and keep looking. You may want to consider borrowing or buying a humane trap. Be persistent and consistent and most importantly, Don’t Stop Looking! Not all cats will just show up at your door. It took us over a month to get our kitty home with the help of neighbors. God Bless you and your fur babies. Be aware of scammers. They ask for number codes and money.

Post on Nextdoor and Neighbors Ring apps. Indoor cats stay close to home and may hide. Put out items of unwashed clothing or towels with your scent on it, 🚫DO NOT put a litterbox outside or in your garage with door cracked despite some people advising you to, it can attract predators, dogs or tomcats to the area that could endanger and chase him/her off preventing your cat from returning home.🚫 Go out multiple times between dusk and dawn with a flashlight to look for eyeshine, bring his/her treat bag and shake it while calling his/her name. You can even try a laser pointer toy and shine it around on the ground while out looking. If he/she is microchipped make sure your contact info is up to date and contact chip company to report as missing. Put up flyers within a 1 mile radius, not everyone uses social media. Talk to your neighbors, have them check garages, yards and sheds. Check the animal shelter daily, go in person often and bring a photo of your cat because they don’t always update their website daily, they are notoriously unreliable over the phone, telling people their pet isn’t there when it is and can be resistant to letting people go in the cat area to look for their cat so be firm and polite (The Animal Foundation). Most importantly be consistent and persistent, get out there on foot, not car, after dark everyday to search and don’t give up. Don't wait for social media to bring your cat home, you need to be proactive.

I am praying for Norman. Please read my tips. They have worked many times and could save his life. LOST Kitty Call PawsPatrol, a pet volunteer search and rescue organization 725-331-3319 Or contact online: https://www.pawspatrollv.org/ Paws Patrol Las Vegas Official Website Check Animal Foundation daily in person and check online on their site, too Post on Pawsboost Post on the Las Vegas Cats Facebook group Give a LOST MISSING poster to Animal Foundation Give posters to your neighbors Give posters to nearby veterinarians Check in all of the bushes near your home and your neighbors’ homes Look under our surrounding vehicles. Think hiding spots. Put an article of your worn clothing by the gates, the doors, porches (workout tshirt, tank …) Also, pillowcases you have slept on have your scent and tell kitty she is home. NEVER leave your cat’s litter box outside. It attracts every kind of animal; coyotes, dogs and cats. That is why you instead leave your worn clothing outside; because that scent ONLY attracts your cat. Crack your garage JUST for her to go under Go looking early morning and after dark when it’s quiet Most cats stay within a 2 to 4 block radius of their home. Praying for a safe return right away.
