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.

Put out some of your work clothes or bed lines … cats can smell up to a mile in distance! Also check any closed up areas like attics crawlspaces old buildings even your neighbors garages they get locked up in small spaces. It happens a lot more so than people think and don’t forget to check up in trees because if it’s primarily a house cat it is very possible that it climbed a tree to feel safe… If it’s also primarily a house cat… It’s probably within a few blocks of your area so posting flyers handing out flyers those work better than social media… I have been rescuing for over 35 years and I can assure you more people will see your flyers posted and hanging in areas than people on social media so give them to your mailman, all of your neighbors, etc. and also ask your neighbors to check the ring cameras… Calling out for your cat in the quiet hours from 9 PM to 11 PM is also the best time when it is quiet out, it’s better if you stay in one location and not move around because that will give your cat time to trust the surroundings and come to you… I tried to tell people to go out every 15 minutes within that two hour span shake a treat bag call your cat stand and wait a few minutes. Go back in. Come back out and repeat the process for about two hours that builds trust. They also hear your voice in the same area and continue to do that but it is important if you will sit out bed, linens or work clothes that have your sent outside as well. Don’t give up. Keep posting and cheering but flyers are important.

Go out early morning or after dark and quietly call your cat....chances are you cat is scared and hiding....take a flashlight ...if your cat doesn't come to you, shine it around to see if it catches it's eyes...under bushes and in the trees. Put a BIG, COLORFUL sign at the last place seen so people know where your cat belongs if they spot him or her…ask your neighbors to check sheds, crawl spaces and garages. Go to your local shelters every day or 2 to look for yourself…please don't depend on a phone call. The person you speak to may not be aware that your pet might have been turned in. If possible leave your door or window open a crack while you're home.

Be sure to GO to your LOCAL SHELTERS with a photo and report your pet lost (your pet may have been taken to a shelter that is not the closest one to you). They have a board for both lost and found pets. Many finders take pets they find to them. Remember, NOT EVERYONE is on Social Media. There's some excellent advice on Missing Animal Response Network on Facebook as well as their website. Additional advice can be found on the website under the drop down menu labeled lost pet help.

Give flyers to the local vet offices and mail carriers too!! Missing Animal Response Network has excellent advice on what to do when your pet goes missing. The section about NEON signs is a must but all of the tips will also help you in your efforts to find your pet. Try putting a large lost sign at the last place seen (someone else may have seen something). Also check on Craigslist under pets lost/found.

Try posting on the local Nextdoor app (if possible), lost. petcolove. org and watching Craigslist.🤞 Also try putting out unwashed laundry and some stinky shoes at the last place seen with you nearby and hopefully your pet will smell it's way back to you. DO NOT PUT YOUR PET'S BEDDING OR LITTER BOX OUT because it can attract predators where your scent will scare predators off but still attract your pet. If it comes down to it, try renting or borrowing a trap from the shelter... Put something in the trap that your kitty cannot refuse. Putting up cameras may help too. BEWARE of scammers saying they found your pet and want you to email them or send them a code. They will also tell you to text or connect through Instagram to a certain group that helped them find their pet. DON'T do it! It's a scam. Also, be wary of calls from shelters. There is a scam, copying shelter's phone numbers and saying that your animal is there and needs emergency treatment and to send money.
