🐈‍⬛LOST CATS: Please follow my (original) advice. No litter box outside, no food outside. It will attract other animals including other cats who will keep your cat away if trying to return home. ⬇️ Distribute Flyers- by knocking on doors to your neighbors and handing them out, and posted them on poles etc. as well even to any businesses close by? This step is crucial to recovering your cat! Speak to people in person. I cannot stress enough, the importance of knocking on doors speaking to people and handing them a “lost cat” flyer at the same time. This is how you get sightings and this is what will bring your cat home. If you get a sighting you need to set and MONITOR a humane trap at the sighting location right away and at morning dusk. *NEVER LEAVE A TRAP UNATTENDED. You can use rotisserie chicken and Friskies Whitefish and Sardines canned food as bait. Cats usually stay within a one mile radius from home. Most are found very close to home as in a few houses away or next street over. They are usually found (after getting sightings and with trapping) very close to their own home. Some come home on their own, usually in the overnight hours. Concentrate on canvassing your own neighborhood, however, in case the sighting was not of your cat. Cats don’t usually go far. They usually will try to return home between 10 PM and 5 AM with peak hours being 3-5 AM. Put a worn shirt of yours on your porch or near the door and continue to replace with a fresh one daily. Do NOT put a litter box outside. It will attract male unneutered cats who will spray property and chase your cat away if trying to return home. Some cats stay hidden for 3 weeks traveling at night. Flyers generate sightings.

I'm so sorry your furbaby has gone missing. Cats don't go far like dogs do. Indoor cats will stay within a 4 house radius. Knock on your neighbor's doors ASAP and ask if you can check their backyards and leave them with a flyer and your number. Mine went missing in December so I've learned a lot about where to post, maybe you've already done all this, but here are some immediate tips you need to take: 1) Put up flyers and go door to door in your neighborhood. Indoor cats aren't usually farther than 4 houses in any direction. Outdoor kitties will go as far as a mile or more. 2) Wait until it's dark and quiet and bring a VERY bright flashlight to shine under cars and bushes. If there's a bag or box of treats he's used to hearing being shaken, take the box with you and shake it while you search. 3) Leave your door open with stinky food (wet tuna) and a blanket or clothing that smells like you. 4) Post on Nextdoor 5) Report the kitty missing to your microchip company and to the county shelter and check their map. 6) Join the missing cat Facebook groups and look there. Found and lost cats are posted daily 7) Use this video, walking slowly and stopping every few yards to look behind/around you.https://youtu.be/KZLBNrRa0hQ?si=Y_8vgxQZGqrMvRjG Best of luck ❤️
