Hi. Ok. Put his bed, with an item of your clothing outside. Along with food, water, and cat liter box. Look in the bushes. Low laying seems to be the favorite. Put up flyers and go door to door letting your neighbors know he is missing and to contact you if they see him. Give them a flyer. Oh a flyer with his picture and name. ❤❤❤❤

TIPS TO HELP FIND LOST PET: ✅Place his/her bedding, your shoes, a piece of your unwashed clothing and food/water outside *if there is coyotes in the area bring the food in at night*. ‼️‼️****They might be nearby and can’t figure out how to get inside ***IF you have a garage*** Leave the garage door cracked for them and place the shoes, bedding, and unwashed clothing in the garage****‼️‼️ ✅Walk around the area calling them calmly early morning and late evening when it’s quiet & shake a bag of treats(if they like treats), or can of tuna etc. ✅If he/she is microchipped contact the microchip company to report him/her lost and make sure your contact info is up to date. ✅Hang flyers (use a bright color board or paper) with picture in your neighborhood, surrounding areas, local shopping centers, businesses, vet's offices, groomers, etc. within a five mile radius from your home. ✅Go door to door with the flyers as well and try to speak with people when handing out flyers. ✅Make a sign with his/her picture and put it in your front yard stating he/she is missing. ✅File a lost report with the shelters in your area and surrounding area shelters ✅Check shelters in person, daily if possible. Ask to see the animals in isolation too. ✅Check shelter websites daily (as it is updated hourly) ✅Check shelter found reports for found postings but not at the shelter. ✅Take a flyer to the shelters. ✅File online with petharbor.com, pawboost.com ✅Post on area lost and found pet and community Facebook pages, area shelter Facebook pages, newspapers, nextdoor.com and Craigslist under "pets" and "Lost and Found"
