Chicago, IL - Lost Dogs, Cats & Pets - PawBoost No offense, but can you remove the posts where people are telling this owner to do all of the things she’s already done? Especially the ones warning time is critical, etc. This cat has been missing for weeks, & has been posted about & shared multiple times in multiple groups. Animal Control, pd, etc are all aware.

LOST CAT INSTRUCTIONS ** Time is of the essence, for finding your lost cat. ** Your cat is probably nearby. Indoor cats usually find a hiding spot very quickly, and very close to where they escaped. Look up in the trees, and check under everything in YOUR YARD first… under decks, bushes, wood piles and sheds. Then check your neighbors yards. The best time to find your cat is at night, with a flashlight, when their eyes glow back at you. ***If your cat is scared, it will not respond to you calling him/her, so you'll have to use your eyes instead of your ears. *** ***When inside cats are suddenly outside, they can go into "survival mode,” and their entire personality changes.*** They, generally, will NOT wander. At least, not at first. (Unless they are not neutered/spayed.) Make sure to leave food and fresh water outside, in case they come out of hiding at night. Canned tuna (packed in oil) is nice and smelly. Also, a piece of your "worn" clothing, with your scent on it left outside, along with their bedding, with their scent on it, will definitely help. And, if you have a container or bag of treats that they really like.. shake it outside for your cat to hear. Also, leave your garage door or a window open a few inches in case it comes back at night. (5-7 inches.) Praying you find your fur-baby very soon! ♥️ Kitties usually don't go far at first. Your fur baby needs *YOU* to do these things to find her/him! ✳ BE PROACTIVE!! Kitties without a food/water source and shelter will likely continue moving until they find them. You need to attract her/him back home. They are very often only within a few houses or buildings to start. 🍲💧Keep replenishing a feeding station set up with fresh water and smelly food to attract, like warm tuna. Best to put in view of a camera so you can see if kitty eats the food. If you have a garage, prop it open 6 inches with smelly food trailed to inside. 🧦 Put out scent items: some of her/his toys and bedding, along with your DIRTY laundry (socks, pillowcases). 🔦 Check in trees. When dark out, look for her/his eyes with a flashlight under bushes, decks and other safe hiding spots. They hunker down, but will come out more between DUSK and DAWN when it is quiet. Use a familiar noise, like shaking a treat bag, to attract. Speak quietly and softly. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ✅ Make sure neighbors in a minimum two block radius have your contact info with kitty's pic, as most seeing your social media posts don't live right around you. Ask them to check their cameras, sheds, garages, window wells and under decks. ‼️FLYER, FLYER, FLYER‼️It's the best tool you've got! People don't pay attention to loose cats like they do dogs. ✴ Most people people that see your social media posts don't live right by your home, so flyers are VERY IMPORTANT to make everyone that lives directly around you are aware. If someone picks kitty up, they may not know who she/he belongs to. You need as many eyes looking as possible. *500 PAIRS OF EYES LOOKING IS BETTER THAN ONE* 📢 Bright colors, simple BOLD letters, with your number and a big pic of your kitty. Hang upside down in sheet protectors or gallon ziploc bags on neon posterboard for maximum attention. ➡️ Other ideas: 1. Put a sign up in your front yard. If the sign is up, neighbors and people passing by know she/he is still missing. 2. Give one to the local mail carriers. 3. Put on on your car window. 4. Driveway drops: a mini flyer (print 4 on one letter size piece of neon paper) in a ziploc bag with a rock for weight. Drive and toss on to driveways like a newspaper. 5. Pass out the mini flyer to anyone out walking their dogs, pushing strollers, etc. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ☎️ Contact the microchip company so kitty will be flagged as lost. Make sure the chip is registered properly to you (ie. not where kitty was adopted from - or where chip was implanted) and your contact info is current. 🏫 Alert surrounding PDs, Animal Controls, shelters and vets. Go take flyers to all of them - and walk through the shelters to check if your kitty is there. Follow up every few days. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ⌨ Register kitty on Petfbi(which is monitored by actual humans). They will post the report on the Lost Cats Illinois FB page. 💻 Alert residents about your lost kitty, and to please check their cameras through: 1. RING Neighbors App 2. Nextdoor App 3. Citizens App 4. Local neighborhood watch and lost pet pages/groups on Facebook. ✴ On all posts, list: 1. The town you live in and the cross streets near you. 2. Pics of your kitty. 3. Phone number - and ask people to contact you directly via call or text with any info so you don't miss anything. Your info should be brief and specific, as people are scrolling through quickly. (ie LOST CAT: Town/cross streets... female/male, coloring, if chipped, phone number, etc.) Ask everyone to take picture or video of any kitty they think might be her/him and send it to you. This can help confirm if it is or isn't your kitty. If it is, flyers need to be hung in the area of the sighting, especially if new from where she/he was seen prior. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ➡️ If you need to trap your kitty to secure her/him, traps CANNOT be left unattended. For the safety of your kitty and other animals, it must be monitored at ALL times. ‼️Be careful with scammers‼️They may contact you saying they have your kitty and ask for verification codes
