Get your flyers up! Do not rely on social media alone, most of my missing animals come home, because of physical flyers! I do 8X11 in the immediate area 4 per block, the bigger the area 3 per block and so on. I've had the most success with the 4 per page mini handouts of the same flyer. I will give these to the Mailman, UPS, Fedex, Garbage man, Gas stations, Grocery stores. Also fluorescent backgrounds at major intersections 8X11 or bigger. Also law enforcement and animal control. More than likely, it's not going to be your eyeballs.That bring your pet home.Also not everybody has social media. So we need as much help as we can get from the community. So make it easy for them to get a hold of you. and remember the harder you work, the luckier you get! I hope these suggestions help you get your animal home soon and safe. 😉

I’m so sorry your fur baby is missing. I’m posting a few tips to to help you find her and I realize that perhaps you’ve already tried some of them. (But hopefully there’s still a point or two you’ll find helpful.) Please put her bed/blanket or an unwashed article of your clothing outside, the scent will help her find her way home. (Experienced rescues advise not to use soiled cat litter as it can attract predators and aggressive cats.) If she’s an indoor only kitty, she’s probably close but hiding. Check under the house, porches, and in sheds and garages, anywhere she may be trapped. Ask your neighbors to do the same. Ask them, too, to check their Ring cameras. If she’s not home by tonight, search under bushes and shrubs with a flashlight, her eyes will reflect the light and you'll be able to see her. Best time to search is late night and early morning when it’s most quiet outside. Call her name softly and gently shake a treat bag. Keep an entrance to your home, if it’s safe, in case she comes home during the night. Also post on Pawboost and Nextdoor , excellent additional resources that can assist you. If you can, put up fliers throughout your neighborhood and report her as missing to local vets. Finally, be sure to file a lost kitty report with your county shelter. sure to file a lost kitty report with your county shelter, Multnomah County Animal Services (503) 988-7387. Send a photo if possible. Many people don’t use social media, so the shelters are often the first place they turn to. Last but not least, beware of lost pet scams. They appear to be on the increase these days. All my best wishes for a speedy reunion.

Make flyers and put them on every door in the neighborhood. I got my cat back that way
