Please check nearby storm drains and sewer pipes. Vehicle engines and tire wells. Attics, closets, and bats. Garages and sheds. Bushes and trees. Under buildings and porches. Search outside at dawn and dusk when it's quiet. Using a flashlight may help. Set outside your old clothes so Cosmo may detect a familiar scent. Good luck.

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.

Ask neighbors if he may be trapped in their garage or shed, and check on other nearby streets, especially in the evening with a flashlight, calling out to him and making a familiar sound. I hope he is found soon🙏🏻

Ask neighbors to check their garages,sheds, and bats, sometimes they get trapped in them,get their permission to look under their porches and decks, under and behind their sheds,too, use a flashlight to look, and to catch the eye shine or reflective glow of the cat's eyes. Ask neighbors to look on their surveillance, security,or doorbell camera's video for your cat. if you live next to apartment buildings,ask them if you can look in their courtyards, backlots, and ask management to look on their surveillance,security camera's video for your cat.Give them a flyer, and put flyers on people's doors

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
