Da Maris okay, great. As you mentioned, it's quite possible someone found and took in Sylvester. Unfortunately, it happens thinking the cat is a stray, and some people don't access social media to see the posts. Waggin Tails is always willing to share missing pet flyers on their page. I have your posts shared to several Cicero and Berwyn groups.

Linda Marie I’m working on the flyers. And I’ve contacted waggin tails and went to the shelter and haven’t got a response back.

❗ Call the microchip company ASAP, they will send out an alert. ❗️Post flyers everywhere, including local shelters, vets, and police stations. Make sure to call all of them to see if anyone has turned the cat in. ❗️Post on the Citizen App ASAP, it will reach thousands of people in your area in a matter of minutes. ❗️Ask neighbors if they have cameras or ring doorbells, and if they can look at them to see if he passed by. ❗️Buy or rent a trap from a rescue, vet, police station, friend, or neighbor. ❗️Get cans of 9-Lives, put the trap by your house or building, and put the food inside (1 can at a time on a plate). Write a note: “Please don’t touch, trapping lost cat, please call (add your #) if seen.” Check the trap every 15 minutes, as you might catch other wildlife that needs to be released. ❗️Be patient — it can take a couple of days to catch him as cats get scared when not used to being outside, and they act differently. They normally hide during the day and come out at night. ❗️Check under the porches and back decks of neighbors, as they make great hiding spots, along with bushes. ❗Use a flashlight when searching at night, if the light hits her face, her eyes will glow. ❗️Use a drone to scan the area, yards, and hard to access area 🙏🏻 You find him soon 🐈‍⬛

Do you have flyers up in the area he's missing from? Also, send one to Waggin' Tails Animal Shelter/Cicero Animal Control and they'll share it on their FB page for more visibility.
