I'm so sorry about your kitty. Here are some tips that helped me find my little guy when he got out. My kitty got out in the middle of winter for 11 days. I put flyers out everywhere and some very nice friends of a friend of mine saw my flyers and said he was living under their outside stairs. Flyers work. Also I was told to go out at night when it's quiet and call your kitty calmly. They are scared when outside even if it's your voice they hear so shouting or calling loudly isn't recommended. Also using a flashlight while looking in garages and bushes helps. Cats eyes glow when a light beams on them. Shaking treat bags can help too. Don't do a litterbox that can attract dangerous animals that could hurt Kitty. You can do a piece of dirty laundry of yours that they can be attached too. One more thing also is to get a humane trap from a local shelter and put the smelliest food inside. Believe it or not KFC chicken has helped attract cats more than any food lol. Also cameras can help also to see if your baby comes around when you're not home. I wish you the best of luck and hope. 💜💜💜💜🍀

Probably scared and or hiding nearby. Walk neighborhood calling his name and if there is still no trace you can reach out to (Animal Patrol Team) on Facebook they helped me locate my dog days ago.

Info for lost indoor only cats….. Be wary of people who will tell you they found your cat, but you have to message them on FB or text a code to a certain phone number. These are scams. A new scam is to call from a pet hospital’s sed phone number and ask for payment up front for your “severely injured” pet. Hang up & call the pet hospital directly or go in person. A person who truly found your cat will not put conditions on you except maybe to show them proof of ownership, like pictures. Also, people will tell you how they used a recovery/search agency to find their pet. Also, a scam to take your money. Most of those services are not even in the TriState. Exception is, Reaves Recovery and Rescue or Eye in the Sky-Drone Animal Recovery. They are here in Cincinnati, West Chester, Dayton area, but do charge a fee since they are a business. There is also Lost Pet Recovery out of Columbus with volunteers here in TriState. Make lots of flyers to pass out to all your neighbors. Ask them to check their security cameras and keep watch for your cat moving through their yard at night by way of the cameras. Make bright posters to put up all around the area. You want to keep your cat in the area near your house, so put out an article of clothing/blanket that has your scent & your cat’s scent on it. Put out dry food & water on a covered porch. If you do not have a covered porch then turn a large Tupperware bin on its side to put the food & water inside. Put baby monitors outside at your doors so you can hear if your cat comes to eat or cries to be let inside. Read the article then grab a flashlight ( helps reflect their eyes making it easier to see.) Look under sheds, porches, decks, grill covers, furniture covers, campers, cars, boats, bushes, wood piles, anything a cat can crawl into or under. You can make a lost cat report at Cincinnati Animal CARE or your local animal shelters. This article has great tips to help you with your search and for understanding lost cat behavior. Article says they do not go far typically, but don’t discount reported, found cats that are miles away. Unfortunately humans sometimes relocate them. Hope you find your kitty! https://coleandmarmalade.com/2019/01/31/what-to-do-if-indoor-cat-gets-outside/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0P0X0rGMOk0VgvPsLfbOLnzi9Zahq9m2EQ0PsEMOB4ptxMvhr5l5wmeuI_aem_qkp-E6oyH0UPz1TO7qdjQQ

Info for lost indoor/outdoor cats…….Pass out flyers to all your neighbors, let them know your cat is missing & ask them to open any sheds or garages for 10 mins & walk away. If your cat got trapped inside, while exploring an open shed/garage, then hopefully it will come out. Ask neighbors to check their security cameras and keep watch for your cat moving through their yard at night by way of the cameras. Put up brightly colored posters on poles surrounding your neighborhood. Cover them in clear pack tape to keep dry. Also, Beware that you will get texts from scammers wanting you to text codes or do “xyz” to prove you are owner. A new scam is to call from a pet hospital’s sed phone number and ask for payment up front for your “severely injured”pet. Hang up & call the pet hospital directly or go in person. A person who truly has your cat will only ask you to show them photos of your pet off your phone. Also, people will tell you how they used a recovery/search agency to find their pet. Also, a scam to take your money. Most of those services are not even in the TriState. Exception is, Reaves Recovery and Rescue or Eye in the Sky-Drone Animal Recovery. They are here in Cincinnati, West Chester, Dayton area, but do charge a fee since they are a business. File a Lost cat report with Cincinnati Animal CARE or your local animal shelter & area rescues. Stray hold is only 3 days in Ohio before animal can be adopted out. Local shelters often have lost & found Facebook pages. When you find your cat, please consider making it an indoor only cat. Just too many dangers out there. Hope you find your kitty!
