LOST CAT TIPS So sorry! May be injured and hiding, search with flashlight looking for eyes. Search everywhere! Someone recently found their cat who was lost almost a month stuck in a drain ditch 7 houses from where the cat was lost from. Cats don’t usually go far unless not fixed (un neutered males will travel far looking for female- get them fixed and will stay closer to home) picked up or hitched a ride, search, scent and posters are key to finding them, go slow and call in normal tone. Indoor only are typically within 7 houses while outdoor cats can be 17 houses away or further because something disturbs their territory and they run further and get lost or stuck. -Report as lost to shelter ASAP and check there daily! -If chipped, alert chip company (ensure chip is up to date) -Search with flashlight for eyes under decks, in sheds, crawlspaces, drain ditches, garages, etc….maybe too scared to come out and needs to hear your familiar tone. Especially drains, they can get in and can’t get out! Look high in the trees could be stuck! They can hide up to 10 days! If considering a tracker, need to get within two weeks for optimal scent( I can recommend some if interested) -Some cats recognize their owners voice (familiar sound they use with them). Sit outside at dark, using that sound and listen for them, and have some stinky food with you. If they have a dog or cat Buddy record them and play it -Lure them back with scent (stinky trail mix and set up a food station with food and water with a camera) -If safe leave door cracked where they got out with food trail going in -Leave garage door cracked with food inside -Get lots of posters out as they help reunite many pets! Many don’t have social media! -Post on Nextdoor, Ring, pawboost, petfbi. Org , lostmykitty .com and Lost & Found Pets of North Carolina and Lost and Found Animals Wayne-Johnston County, NC -If in woods, create a stinky mix of mackerel juice spray high in trees and sprinkle some on ground leading back home along with dirty clothing ending at a feeding station at home with camera. -If inside only cat and not seen going out, do a thorough search inside (could be stuck somewhere) and if you had any recent construction work at home, check the areas the work was done.

Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite out .. Might wait in between to see if you hear them meow nearby .... For indoor cats if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out and will often come back in on their own .. If you didn't see them get out check deep dresser drawers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, under beds in box springs, behind the frig, the stove, behind or under the sofa, under or in the recliner the washer/dryer or inside if left open .. bat crawl space .. attic .. anywhere small or behind a cat can hide they will! If out cats will hide during the day and are more active late evening near dark to early morning , daybreak ... have a spot light to shine to see eyes in the dark .. they are usually close by and will often come back to the door .. or hide under bushes or decks to feel safe ! Also check crawl spaces under houses , garages, sheds of neighbors nearby ...No food out after dark it will attract area strays and wildlife to the area ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and colder weather they will get under car hoods for warmth and on tires also ...this can happen and they could be miles from home . Cats in a new home need at least 30 days to adjust to a new area and may and will travel to get back to their old home .. In some cases a set trap may be needed and monitored! A Trail cam or night vision goggles can help to monitor the areas outside! Post to Nextdoor Ask neighbors to check their Ring Doorbells... Beware of loose and roaming dogs in the area as they will chase and your cats! For automatic garage doors please place a 6x6 block or cinder block so that the door will not come all the way down and trap your pet as they can be injured! Check with area Shelters, Animal Control, and Vets offices also put flyers ... Am sure you have tried most all of these! Don't give up!!

Oh no! I’ll keep an eye out for your pet. In the meantime, check with local shelters in our area and put up posters where your pet was last seen. Don’t forget to file a missing report with (918) 78zero-26zero8 they specialize in finding lost or stolen pets. They found mine in less than two days after I texted them! Give them a try; hopefully, they can help you get yours back. The sooner, the better. By the grace of God, your pet will be found!
