Get out and walk the blocks! Post posters in several blocks! They don't usually go far! Ask residents to look in sheds garages anywhere they can hide! Look up in trees where they go for safety! Look in bushes Join neighborhood groups! Best time to search is the middle of the Night 3-5 am Put a cardboard box with something with your scent outside! LOOK IN TREES! SHEDS GARAGES ANY ITEMS WITH A TARP on it

A good list of things to do is on www.catsinthebag.org (Click in the actual link, not the box.) Also get signs up and file a lost report with Animal Services/local shelter(s) or a similar organization under another name, and keep checking their listings. Make sure your microchip is registered, and the company has your up to date info. And here is some helpful info: https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/ Post on Neighbourhood/community and any other applicable lost & found groups too.

Sorry to hear your kitty is missing. Your cat is nearby probably on your property scared and hiding. Put out worn clothing of the cat’s favourite human. Clothing has to be worn so that kitty can pick up on the scent. Also include cat bed or a blanket anything with the cat’s scent outside. Leave a window or the garage door slightly open so that kitty can find its way back inside the house. Be sure to secure other pets first. Go out at Dawn and Dusk especially with a flashlight and check underneath bushes, trees, cars, desks, patio furniture, sheds etc Let your neighbours know your cat is missing and ask for their permission to search their properties. Neighbours will not thoroughly search their properties or know where to look. Shake a bag of your cat’s favourite treats or food calling kitty’s name calmly. Look at every nook and cranny. Create flyers and hand out to your neighbours as well as post flyers in the neighbourhood and surrounding areas. If you can offer a reward it will encourage others to look for your kitty. Do don’t leave her litter box outside it will attract predators that will scare the cat away. If your cat is microchipped call the company and report the cat missing. Make sure your contact information is up to date. Report your cat missing to your local SPCA or Human Society. Go in person to your local SPCA /Humane Society and check out the kitties that were recently brought in. Follow the tips. Don’t waste any time starting your search. Start search as quickly as possible. Don’t give up hope. Just keep going out looking for your cat. Recheck your property and your neighbours and surrounding areas as many times necessary. Good luck.

If this is an indoor only cat that never goes out, look close. Indoor only cats when lost get scared and hide because it is unknown territory and usually do not come out when you call. Usually are within 3 or 4 houses . Put out something with your scent such as a piece of clothing or blanket. Call at dusk, dawn and night and shake the treats. Get in your neighbour's yards and look under decks, sheds, in trees, bushes or anywhere they can hide. Put up lots of posters. If you are searching at night, use a flashlight as their eyes glow in the dark. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=388310901737884
