Are there cameras or ring door bells in area? Perhaps neighbors would be kind and look on the videos. Does cat respond to treat bag or dry food box shaken? If so shake periodically. Early AM, in between, evening and later in nite we'll after dark when more peaceful. Cats perfer when afraid hiding till after dark Hope this may help. As not everyone will see all Facebook postings and some are not even on Facebook, like retired seniors and they are out and about the community and neighborhoods. If you already have Flyers with picture, get them put in high pedestrian traffic areas as it does help. Tape up where ever you can and are like poles, Coffee stops, stores if they let you or have bulletin board, parking lots, local gyms etc. Also talk to mail person, UPS and Fed X people crossing guards, school bus drivers, garbage and recycle collectors, joggers. Dept of public works folks in your town or the town lost in. Firemen , flyer at local firehouse. Dog walkers, they are out there and see things. Senior centers. If in condo or townhouse or near one, do they have community bulletin boards. Hand out flyers wherever you can. More eyes the better. Re check flyers, weather or people can take them down. Keep handing out to people as they can have short memories. Keep info current when you repost or put flyers up again. To be current write :still lost as of" with current date. Check with and keep checking with shelters, animal control and local vets, someone may have brought your pet there. You have to keep checking, lot of volunteers etc and word is not always pass on to next shift. Check with local vets around you. Many vets have boards for flyers or allow one to be.put up. Call shelters daily, stop by with picture or flyer. Walk through to see if your pet is there at the shelter. Most indoor cats stay close at first. They are scared once out. Ask neighbors to be on look out and to check their yards, under porches, decks, under cars especially at night, crawlspaces, window wells, under bushes etc. Even under cars. Call animal control in your town, but also bordering towns in case someone did have them picked up. Are there door bell cameras or any cameras in area lost?? Perhaps neighbors with them will check to see if your cat is on as of when lost. Put out an article, unwashed that owner used like a towel the owner used or clothing they wore like a tee shirt. Put it near a door steps, on a deck, patio. Owners scent is important. Put out a smelly food like tuna. Water too. Monitor different times of day, especially after dark. Some say put out some litter from their box, used so their own scent is at your door, patio etc. Others say no it attrats other animals and may scare your cat off. Some have left an access to home open, placed food near and cat comes in. Not sure that is something one can do in most cases. It is important to go out after dark with bright flashlight, they hide. If scared. Look under porches, cars , bushes. Flashlight helps you see their eyes in hiding. Ask neighbors if you can check their yards, under bushes after dark. Ask if you can check their property! Being nocturnal when afraid they hunker down till dark. Talk as you normally would when walking your cat knows your voice. Listen for a cry, they may trapped in a shed, garage, down a storm drain, they do hide when afraid. Basically talk to anyone you can. Sit out night time and talk calmly if near the may cry or be brave enough to come out. Have treats ready. If your cat responds to treat bag or dry food box shaken, search with one. Call calmly and shake. May get a response, a cry or cat may come out of hiding place. Check area with dyer vents, source of heat when on. Cars and in wheelwells of cars, engines when warm are a heat source. If near wooded areas, park or places like a cemetery look there. They like seclusion when afraid. Talk as look again they know owner's voice. If you live near beach area, check dunes and under entrances to beach. Also, some beach areas, towns and other places also have communities of feral cat colonies, check them out and give flyer to people who feed them. Know folks this worked for for. Their cat was eating with a colony. Humane traps work well place a food in them likes and place in area cat is lost ND spotted or your yard. Check frequently with weather hot or cold or wet you do not want a cat to be exposed to elements in a trap for long! You can use posterboard from Staples of another store and use bright florescent markers These are easy to place at intersections, crucial for sightings. All you need is those markers, a photo of your cat to paste on and your phone number at the bottom. The same procedure is used for flyers. Sign on lawn f possible, big and bright colors especially if in high traffic area, busy roads or blocks. Relatives or friends in the area, have them also put up a sign. This can also help get exposure for you, sign on your car! As you drive around people see it. Parked folks will see it. Flyers are imperative, of course, but this is a simple way to increase visibility tenfold. This is an excellent way to increase sightings. Maximum exposure. Google lost pets in your county/town, actually both. Google Pawboost page, as exposure is so important. Lost Pets Of Monmouth County, one for Ocean County , Atlantic Burlington, Camden, Mercer Middle, Sus, Union. Lost and found Pets South Jersey , Lost and Found Central Jersey and Lost and Found pets North Jersey all FB pages. Depends where you live. If you boarder another county, put it on both. If your town has a face book or web page or "Patch" news outlet and allow posts, post there. Look for those looking for owners of lost cats or a found cat and trying to find the owners . You can search to see if your cat was found. Best wishes to all trying to find your baby. They can be very scared and hiding. They will even be skiddish with owner. Can hide out a long time, coming out only in after dark. Cats can hide out a long time when scared keep the faith. Dog or cat if no success, start over. Keep posting, keep flyers up. Write still missing with current date on them. Talk to everyone even if you have spoke to them before. Search under bushes, cars decks, stairs frequently. Check sheds, behind sheds, ask neighbors if you can continue to search on their property. Shake the treat bag or dry food box again and again.
