If your kitty is missing, they often don't go far. Leave out warm/cold water and food in a clear storage bin turned on its side, post fliers (try wired ground signs). Check at dawn & dusk or after dark with a flashlight. Quietly look under bushes/decks/cars for eyeshine & movement, call them softly and listen -have treats ready. Check the area from where they were lost & put out/hang unwashed items that smell like you/them -scent carries. Call into the storm drains -sound echoes. Consider sprinkling litter around the perimeter of your yard. Look in sheds & crawl spaces, especially if you or a neighbor has had work done recently or one has been left open. You could try repositioning security cameras if you have any to see if you spot them after dark. You could also try a humane trap, available on Amazon. Not hard to use - just don’t leave it open & set for hours without checking it, or overnight if not being watched. Leave a heating pad on low in a crate/box if cold at night. Post fliers, send pic & info to local vets & animal control, &, if microchipped, make sure info is up to date & they are marked as lost/missing. Look for sites on Facebook or elsewhere to post – county animal control groups often have pages where you can post. ( Lost & Found Pets - Richmond, VA , Lost or Found Pets in Chesterfield, Richmond and all over Virginia , Lost & Found Pets - Richmond, VA ) There's lots of info online. Here’s a video for lost cats: youtu.be/g2eCoC63B9I - Other orgs offer good information for lost, stray or feral cats too. (petfbi.org/, www.alleycat.org/, www.neighborhoodcats.org/, alleycatadvocates.org/) Other places to post: Nextdoor.com, Pawboost.com & Ring Neighbors if you have it. Note that leaving out litter &/or food in multiple places could be both confusing & attract other cats/animals, so do as you feel appropriate. Praying they stay safe & are home soon.
