Hoping you find this puss😕❤️ Go out looking for her/him at night when it’s quiet. Call and listen! for them to call back. Go down laneways etc too - they could be trapped in a garage, injured & hiding, scared… Knock on doors & talk to people on the street - they may know of her/him - someone may have taken them in. Post on All Neighbourhood social media sites. Put up posters - drop as flyers in mailboxes. File a LOST report with Toronto/other Animal Services in case they end up there - continue to check their listings! Continue to call - they won’t necessarily call you. Also, check their ‘deceased animals’ listings 🥲 ⭐️Consider setting a well-monitored live trap in your yard. He may be too scared to come out but may be able to be trapped.⭐️ You may catch other critters that will need to be released. Keep looking! Don’t give up on her/him .🥰

Go out at nite with a flashlight and their fav food, goodies or salmon and tuna. Look in bushes, under cars, etc. if u have a garage leave the door open a bit with his food or even a window. Make up posters and spread them around the area. Motion lights are helpful. Check the city, all rescue organizations and vets in your area every day.

- [ ] The kitty is probably hiding close to home and scared. Call the kitty’s name softly morning noon and night. Late at night. Rattle a treats bag. Put out toys and food and water. Rig up a cat shelter - place articles of clothing and blankets that smell like home in the shelter. Posters work. Make posters and put them up everywhere with your phone number visibly on the poster. Ask for sightings. Don’t give up.

If this is an indoor only cat that never goes out, look close. Indoor only cats when lost get scared and hide because it is unknown territory and usually do not come out when you call. Usually are within 3 or 4 houses . Put out something with your scent such as a piece of clothing or blanket. Call at dusk, dawn and night and shake the treats. Get in your neighbour's yards and look under decks, sheds, in trees, bushes, in garages, under vehicles and hood or anywhere they can hide. Put up lots of posters. If you are searching at night, use a flashlight as their eyes glow in the dark. https://www.google.com/url?opi=89978449&q=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dg2eCoC63B9I%26xstg%3DCAMSEBUJ_b-oH-PhF0yjBgb_zzE%253D&sa=U&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwjghPWRqr-XAxWsK1kFHSnQLYIQwqsBegQIDxAB&usg=AOvVaw271JAYSiGD2ZdZqADmEZOM

Hi there I’m a volunteer with a local cat rescue . I don’t have your cat. I have not seen your cat but I did see your posts online. If you want, some guidance or advice on what to do, please message me Typically what we tell people if this : Do not offer a reward you’re gonna get so many scams it’s not necessary. People can send you a AI photos and AI videos. Anybody asking for money before they actually do a live video chat to show you the cat is scamming you FIRST FEW DAYS male or female, lost cat 1- do not put food or litter outside because it will attract wild life or other cats, and it will scare her or him out of the area. She's gonna be too stressed to eat for a few days anyway Don’t leave any of her things outside because again you’re gonna attract other cats to her smell. You can leave some of your things outside. Use blankets,, used T-shirt, dirty socks, etc.. 2- LEAVE YOUR DOORS OPEN. She's MOST LIKELY GOING TO TRY AND COME BACK ON her or HIS OWN, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN IT’S VERY QUIET CONSIDER LEAVING DOORS OPEN 3- sit outside in the middle of the night when it’s very dark and talk to him or her a lot of cats are too scared to approach their owners but if he is brave enough, she might do it if you see her do not approach her just keep sitting down and have her come all the way up to you This could take 15 or 20 minutes 4- you need to set up some cameras around your property so you can see if she's circling around at night especially if you’re not gonna leave your doors open for her Can you get some Wi-Fi cameras or something immediately today, make sure you put microSD cards in them so they record motion so that you’re not having to watch them live 24 seven 5- talk to all your neighbours that have security cameras give them a piece of paper with your phone number and her description , ask them to check their cams esp over night 6- talk to all your neighbours that have a deck you can go on Google satellite view and check if they have a deck in the backyard and if they do ask them to go, to look for your cat. When you walk around or search a yard and start calling him in a happy voice, because he doesn’t know your foot steps from a predator so lead with your voice, and always bring a strong flashlight and some treats with you. If you do see him underneath the deck, barricade it with some thing and bring a carrier and then go back and try and have him come up to you. If he will not, then you might need to get a humane trap or borrow one, but most likely he’s going to try and come back on his own. 7- Keep calling him from the house don’t call him from all over the neighbourhood you’re gonna confuse him which way to go Missing Cats don’t go far he’s not gonna be across town he’s gonna be probably within 5-7 houses radius . Very very close

Lost Cat Tips Male or female Not all of this tips is will applicable to every situation. CHECK THE HOUSE WELL . Unfinished basement inside couches behind dressers inside of dresser drawers, because sometimes they crawl behind the dresser . If Outside : Shes / he’s may try and come home on their own in the middle of the night. Usually through the same way they got out but they can run to the backyard if they got out from the front door. It might take them a few days to get brave enough, but they might try and come home. Therefore if you actually saw her run out You need to leave someway for them to come in on their own overnight. If you don’t have any other pets, please consider leaving the back and front doors slightly open over night or a window and sleep in the living room if you wish. They usually try to come in on their own at night at least once esp in the beginning few days. When checking outside , use a strong high lumen flashlight even in the day time ((not a cell phone flashlight)) to search underneath deck , patio , sheds day or night use a flashlight to look for glowing eyes. She’s / hes probably hiding within 6 house radius. Even diagonally.. Don’t be shy, Check peoples back yards, ask them to go Look yourself with a light under their bbqs decks etc. scared and lost cats won’t go far, they’re usually hiding very close by . When checking bring some treats that they like and lead with your voice so they hear familiar sound before you enter the yard. If the cat is extremely skittish, it might run away before you enter the yard without you even knowing who it is . cameras are really important , it’s good to have the whole Community monitoring cameras, or for you to set up cameras around peoples homes and especially your home ! You can purchase cheap Wi-Fi cameras that use SD cards from Amazon for like $45 and connect them to people’s Wi-Fi and monitor them from an app on your phone. I did that when my cat went missing I bought about four and have them all around the neighborhood, with food in front of them so I can see if my cat was coming to eat. You can also buy spypoint Flex or Tacticam reveal cellular cameras that don’t require access to anybody’s Wi-Fi and you can place some around the neighbourhood as well. Also available on Amazon but much more expensive. And require a subscription about $15 per month. But they work amazingly as well and you can leave them where they don’t need to be plugged in and don’t need to connect anybody’s Wi-Fi. If your cat likes treats , Call him/her regularly shake Temptations treats , or even pour her kibble into a an aluminum bowl repeatedly from higher up to make a loud noise of kibble pouring. If you do this from your backyard at night, she will hear it even a few houses down. Try sitting outside on the curb in the middle of the night or shaking Temptations treat bag or pouring dry kibble back-and-forth in a bowl talking to her as if she’s there. One time a friends Cat just ran up to her when she was doing that . Especially when it’s very very quiet at night in the middle of the night, doing the same thing from your porch or from your backyard, depending on which direction is most likely to return from to encourage him to start walking back towards the house. But most importantly, you need have a way to monitor if she’s trying to come in on her own. Most of the time they will try for a first little while to come in by themself in the middle of the night when it’s extremely quiet like around 1 - 4AM . when it’s very quiet and no cars on the road leave the door slightly open and braced . No other animals will come in don’t worry. Try to get a Wi-Fi camera for your back yard if you have no cameras to see if they are coming around the house and leave any doors open overnight. Wifi Cameras only $70 Best Buy and connect to your Wi-Fi and your phone. Wyze cameras from Amazon are 45$ micro SD are 15 leave food and water in front of a door ring camera to be monitored , even water with catnip in it in front of the door cam or neighbours door cams if you dont have one. MONITOR by cam to see who is eating and don’t feed too most to not attract other cats . You can see if she’s coming for food or water. Talk to all the neighbors, any houses that have security cameras and to speak with them and leave them an image of the cat and ask them so if they are OK leaving some treats and water in front of their cameras, throughout the day and at night, and maybe give them a bag of Temptations each. And have them just put some food out for a few days and a few nights , not a lot just a couple of treats here and there and see if he will emerge. If they are not willing to put food, ask them to leave water with catnip in it. A lot of people have ring cams, door cans, or backyard cameras, and if they had a picture or a flyer of him and an opportunity to help they might take it. Post on NextDoor app and any other local fb groups. Not just lost and found groups . This helps a lot to raise awareness and get you a sighting. You need to do a lot of printed handouts and go door to door knocking and leaving the handouts with people on your street and over one street both sides. Ask people to leave the handouts on the fridge for a couple of weeks. Add Posters to light poles around your block and on community mail boxes. Think 300 door to door handouts and 40 posters. Use page protectors from Dollarama to keep them waterproof. Go door to door knocking asking people check their garages ,sheds , backyards , security cams and ask if you can go into theirs yards to check under the decks/shed etc
