Indoor cats do not travel far outside, because they are too afraid. They will hide any in place they fit; in shrubs, garages, under decks, holes in the ground, etc. Start looking for them immediately when you realize they are missing. Shake their favorite treat, or put their favorite food near your door. The food needs to be watched as it will attract wild animals. Put their favorite blanket, pillow or toy and an item of your clothing on your porch. The lost cats usually come out of hiding at night when it’s quieter. Go outside with a flashlight, their favorite treats and shine your flashlight in places where they could hide. The light will reflect their eyes. You can also use a laser and point it on the ground of hiding places and your cat may react to it. (Just read about this) Check your security cameras and ask neighbors to check their security cameras for any sightings of your cat. Let your neighborhood, especially your immediate neighbors, know that your cat is missing. Put up flyers in your neighborhood. Post clear pictures of your kitty on Kent County Lost and Found Pets, West Michigan Lost and Found Pets, and check the posts daily. Go directly to the Animal Shelters to check if Kitty is there. Some of the clerks answering the phone don’t always know about the animals which have been dropped off. After several days, contact MARY HUMPHREY, the wonderful caring Human Saint of lost pets. Send her a message on FB. She will give you more advice and come with her traps etc. to help trap your pet. This also includes dogs. She does not charge, but spends hours looking for lost pets. Instead, she asks that you give a donation to Animal Shelters, or Groups which care for feral cats, etc. There are many such private groups on FB. In the GR area: Second Chance Cats, Focus on Feral, Mice’s Rescue, Fig and Friends, Pet Tales, and more.
