Iâm a veterinary volunteer. Heres some suggestions that are successful:
Put âRewardâ on posters, and tack them up around the area she got lost in, large, clear & visible. You should include a phone number, if you donât, youâll have less of a chance of finding her. If you have printed posters already, get a sharpie black pen, and write in âREWARDâ & a phone number on it. Reward posters have a better chance, donât worry, people wonât expect alot. Leave outdoor lightâs on at night, & lights around the yard. Rain makes cats lose their scent path back home. And if someone has her, and you offer a reward, they're likely to return her. Put used cat litter outside where she goes, unwashed cat bedding, unwashed human bed sheets & unwashed laundry outside.
This might sound wierd, but it works, urine is what cats use to communicate, so pour your urine around house.
Put posters up soon. Get a strong flashlight, and Look underneath porches, sheds, outbuildings, and peopleâs garages, you will see glowing eyes. maybe she got locked in somewhere by accident. Ask your neighbors to check their locked sheds/. People get a lot more interested if you offer a reward. Itâs dangerous to let your cat out (especially black cats, unfortunately) And there are predators all over. If you do find her, train her to eat cat food only after she comes back indoors, and she is kept indoors for the night. If you feed her, and then let her out, she wonât have the incentive of a meal waiting. It is best not to let your cat out again, at all. I guess you havenât yet heard of the predator attacks in that area. Coyotes come out at 3 or 4 a m. Please spread the word. Other dangers around too, traffic, mean kids, other cats that are territorial, she couldâve been chased off, or found a new mate, or got lost chasing a rabbit, or been taken in by someone. the wet grass makes it harder for a cat to get back home, because their âscent pathâ gets lost. The quicker you post the reward posters, the better. Posting online helps, but itâs not going to be enough. Keep trying, and donât give up. My number is 774 641 5985 đââŹ
