🚔 Lost and found pets should be reported to the local police department and humane society that holds the contract for legal stray holds. They maintain a listing of all such animals in an effort to reunite pets with their families. 🤫 Indoor and displaced outdoor cats stay VERY close but they are hiding in silence. Usually IN or UNDER something. First Steps: 🛋️ Please confirm first that they aren’t accidentally locked in somewhere in the house - bedframes, dressers, closets, drawers, garage, bat. 📣 Create lost cat digital alerts with: - Lost Cats of Wisconsin - Pet FBI - Pawboost - Microchip company (if chipped) - Petco Love Lost - Ring (no Ring cams needed to set up an alert!) Share them on local lost pet Facebook groups and especially NextDoor for your neighborhood. 🪧 Create a flyer with clear pet photo, contact phone number, large bold words at top LOST CAT, cross streets location (ex. Main & 1st Ave), features (ex. Orange tabby, neutered male, chipped, ear tip, needs , special diet). - Do not list reward on posters. - Standard size paper using half page duplicated design in landscape mode (4.25x8.5 each) - Keep them simple - Cut paper in half so you get 2 flyers out of one sheet 🚪 Go Door to door within a block radius and stuff the flyers in neighbor front doors (like the political canvassers) with it partially sticking out, or use clear door hanger bags (available on Amazon) and hang on door knobs. Do NOT put in mailboxes - it’s illegal. 🏡🏡 Check with immediate neighbors (within 4 houses all directions) to physically check in garages and sheds and under porches, decks, covered patio furniture and fire pits, window wells, under houses and outbuildings. 👀 Check in trees, in and under bushes, cars, trailers, trucks, wheel wells, engine compartments, RVs, campers, truck beds. 🐈 Lost Cat Behavior: The cat will circle back to the exit point if it feels safe or when released from a trapped situation. Place cameras and attractants near the exit point. 🚫Do not put the litterbox outside (it’s a myth) it will attract neighborhood tomcats that can chase a lost cat out of its territory. 🍲Feeding Station - Monitored Camera - Live Trap Method If you can get a camera like an Amazon Blink outdoor, Arlo, or even an inexpensive WIFI camera place it near the exit point with a feeding station. Use dry food as well as wet smelly food your cat likes. 🍗Chicken seems to be a good attractant. Most cats circle back to their exit point to try and get back. 🎥Monitor camera to confirm sightings. If you see it come to the exit point then the next step is to either prop it open (door, window) to allow it to enter back in (if able to) or setup a covered humane trap. Please always monitor the trap while set and place a blanket over the trap when a cat has been trapped to allow it to calm down before moving the trap. 🏠Garage or Porch Method: Leave your door open about 6” with a bed and place for them to circle back to. Do not set out a used litterbox. Do leave out food at a height the cat can hop up to easily. Off the floor to avoid critters. ❤️Next Steps: Shoot me a message here or at NorthPaw Cat Finders. I live in Green Bay and help to reunite lost/found cats. I do not charge people to advise on lost cat recovery.

Please put their litter box outside!! By your door, and then a bag of used litter nearby so they can smell it!! Keep going out and calling for them over and over, for hours...they will hear and might take some time for them to respond

Putting our litter box outside helped lure our cat back in. Try that, they can smell it up to a mile away. But make sure it’s covered, maybe keep it in the garage with the door open? so no rain gets in it. We also kept our windows cracked, so we could hear him meowing. Which we did hear him when he come back.
