Hi everyone thanks for all the comments. Just to answer a few things. We live out in Sambro on 5 acres and are far back from the road so there’s no real traffic or day time activities to consider. We have placed pet blankets and clothing items in the trees around the perimeter of our property for the scent as well as putting drops of the wet cat tube treats on the trees around the perimeter of the property. I went to my neighbours homes to search around their properties including sheds and I have him posted on multiple pages including the local community groups. My 3 neighbours all know to keep an eye out for him. It’s been 3 nights now that he has been gone and I’m very worried. Today I am going to be getting live traps to set up and hopefully that helps draw him in. Unfortunately where we are in such a rural area outside of the city there are also predators to consider but I’m trying to remain hopeful that maybe something just scared him off and he’s now in survival mode.

Diddo on clothes with your scent out. They are skittish during the day and likely to hide until all the traffic and outdoor activity is gone and tend to roam around at night

Put a piece of clothing outdoors in a protected area with your/his scent on it, hope this brings Benny safely back home😽❤

Put clothes with your scent outside Knock on every door in your neighborhood. Check sheds, garages and outbuildings. Don’t stop looking for him-walk around especially at dusk and at night and early morning Put up posters in your neighborhood

Borrowed tips from another. Supervise while considering, as in some areas, some tips could also attrack unwanted visitors. Hi! 🐈Lost Cat tips/ideas. ⏰*TIME is important 🛑NO kitty litter! See below why. *Instead hang out clothing with your human scent ( dirty *socks* etc) replace daily. **Your kitty may still be close by. #1hiding spot under stairs/decks #2 in or under sheds/garages #3 in or under cars. Get a bright 🔦flashlight use day or night, some cats will not meow to give away their hiding spot as they are in survival mode. 👀Talk/Call calmly softly+shake treats. Listen. Repeat. **POSTERS/FLIERS DOOR TO DOOR **Include phone # for quick contact** when a sighting happens. Also put up on poles/mail boxes. *☎️Ask your neighbors to check their sheds, baby barns & garages as kitty may have been LOCKED😭 inside. *It is best to call for kitty late at night or early morning as they will usually hide during the daylight. **Sometimes, if you can leave your door/window open, they will come back in on their own. Just LOCK UP any other pets in another room. **Please post to your personal fb page. Set to public so we can share it. **Contact local vets, animal controls, SPCA, shelters. Kijiji. 🎵Radio . **Consider asking to borrow a humane Live Trap & Cam. 🐈*Good luck & never give up🐾 **👀 and post in Any 🏡community group that allows! ** 🛑 Kitty litter isnt always recommended by any trained animal rescue or trappers as it can also attract unfixed territorial cats and predators to the area. In cities or urban areas, less likely to get predators so may be ok under supervision. Other ideas to use dirty laundry with human scent replaced daily. POSTERS/Flyers door to door most effective way to spread the word, asking people to check sheds, garages. Check local rescues, vets and animal services daily in case someone picked up and turned kitty in to them. 🙏🐾🐈❤

Call 311 to make a lost cat report and check at the SPCA and Bide Awhile. Put up posters everywhere, they really work! Is he chipped? Good luck!

Have you put up lots of posters around the neighbourhood and in stores nearby? It worked quickly for me. Not everyone is on Facebook or checks it regularly. Good luck. Shared
