It's actually the Nextdoor App. https://nextdoor.com/p/mBQfyphR4CgK?utm_source=share&extras=Nzg0ODUxMDY%3D&ne_link_preview_links=&utm_campaign=1760486584268&share_action_id=2be7784c-6e2a-447e-b256-26e716f53e07

Summer Ann sadly no we haven’t found our cat! Can you tell me more about neighbors? Is that an app? Avalon and Williams is about 1.5 miles from our house - I would be shocked.

Your Missing Cat will try to re-enter the home when the neighborhood is quiet. If it all possible, leave the door ajar that the kitty escaped from and secure other companion animals to a separate room of the home. He/she will try to re-enter when the neighborhood is quiet in the evening and overnight hours. Make sure you physically check underneath and in the engine compartment of your vehicles prior to starting in the morning. Litter box WILL attract community cats and predators, potentially pushing your lost cat out of the area. Clothing/bedding that smell like him/her and his/her family outside the home immediately. If you have a garage, leave the door open enough for him/her to get in. If you live in a mobile home community look under yours and your neighbors homes. Check around your home: bushes, up in trees, deck, porch etc. If their head fits their body will too! Door knock neighbors and ask them to check outbuildings, sheds, garages and ring cam footage. Go out periodically through out the night shaking his/her treats or opening a can of wet food and call to him/her. Renting/borrowing/buying a live trap and setting within the first 24 hours your cat has been missing is a good idea. Live traps need to be monitored frequently. Be prepared to release wildlife. Posting flyers in your neighborhood as well as getting a flyer to rescues, shelters and animal control services is very essential to the recovery of your lost pet.

All the above advice + Make sure you go to the shelters, animal control, humane societies & every rescue you can think of in person and check for your dog or cat as often as you can. Don’t rely on just calling to check for them. The shelters are understaffed and overwhelmed right now, they may not recognize your dog or cat from a description over the phone. And, put up flers & post on love of louie, next door, etc., etc

Walk around calling your cat as you always do. Look under bushes and in hiding places. Look at dawn and dusk with a flashlight to catch the glare of your cat's eyes. Leave garage door and lanai partially open if possible. Your cat will try to get back inside ..most likely at night. Use a trap...The only way to find his way home.or to the trap is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside and around the trap. A friend of mine used her shirt and dragged it through the neighborhood. Her cat found the smell and followed it home. It is all about the smell. You can also cut a shirt of yours into small small pieces and leave a scent trail back to the trap. I read a few days ago that a lady put out a trace with the old litter throughout the neighborhood. It worked. Her cat came home! Use the litter to lead your cat to the trap. Also try to distribute flyers throughout that neighborhood...as many as you can ( 3 miles radius at least). Check shelters in person...don't just call. Put battery operated trail cameras outside. Your cat might show up in the middle of the night. When you know the time you can wait for for your cat and slow blink to make contact. NEVER GIVE UP! I read once that you can put a chair outside and cover it up with a blanket and the cat can jump up and hide under the blanket and feels safe. They said you should put one of your shirts under the blanket and food and water next to the chair. It might be worth a try to put up a chair
