Kevin Maclary Thank you so much. I'm relaying your advice to my husband who has been frantically searching for our kitty since yesterday morning. I am in another state and feel completely helpless other than what I'm doing to get word out in social media. I'm happy some people are helpful and compassionate and not assuming I didn't keep my kitty indoors. Unfortunately when I'm away I can't care for my pets but rely on my husband and boys. They are very sad this happened, it is just horrible heartache.

JoAnne Johnson Wny do people assume my cat was an outdoor cat? He's indoors and enjoys sunshine in the patio during the day and we bring him inside at night. He got out our screen door early in the morning while my husband was asleep. We have no ac so the screen door was shut. Our precious boy never wanders so we think he must've been sick and went off to die as some cats do. I am heartbroken and wish people wouldn't jump to conclusions. I paid $55 for help, not for accusations and criticism about how we care for our beloved pets. These things happen and I'm hurting.

Marty Kane My cat is indoors, but I'm away in another state bringing my mother with dementia to stay with my sister. Cristo got out early in the morning through our screen, something he's never done before, while my husband was sleeping. I do wish people would not assume my poor kitty was not kept indoors at night. We live in townhouses with our patios sandwiched between two other townhouses with tall fences. He has never gone over the fence before. I'm devastated and just hope people will be kinder not to blame, sadly these things happen . I just want my beloved kitty back, whom I've kept safe for 15 years.

Time is of the essence. Cats don’t go far from home. Don’t wait for social media to bring your cat home, you need to be proactive. Leave the door/window the kitty exited from open 24/7. If unable, then crack garage door open 24/7 enough to get in. Hang worn clothes and/or your pillow case in a tree or on top of shrubs to create a scent trail. Knock on neighbors doors with a picture asking them to keep an eye out. See if they can check Ring cameras for any sighting. Post signs with kitty’s picture as many as possible, include surrounding neighborhoods. Go out late at night with a flashlight, shaking a bag of food, calling kitty’s name, looking under shrubs for their shining eyes. Post on Ring, Nextdoor and check shelters. Don’t give up. 💕

If you get him back please try to make him an inside cat. There are way to many coyotes out at all times of the day and night.

An elderly cat with a limp outside has very little chance to escape a predator. If he is fortunate to be found please keep him inside.

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

General Information: Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. NO LITTER BOX OR FOOD. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.
