Things to do if you've lost a cat:
1. Put out smelly clothing of person cat likes best.
2. Leave garage door or some way back inside open if possible.
3. If you can safely leave a door or window open while you’re home (no other pets), sometimes cats will return on their own.
4. Check under bushes and cars with flashlight early in the morning and at night, the light reflects off the eyes.
Also point a laser pointer at the ground by bushes at night.
5. Rattle treat bag or dry kibble at usual feeding time. Kitty is probably close by.
6. Call for kitty at dusk and dawn, and/or usual mealtimes. Spend as much time searching.
7. Have neighbors check garages and sheds.
8. Check all your closets, garage, under beds and furniture, pantry, behind sheds, etc.
9. Make giant neon posters and post at every intersection four way stop going N, S, E, and W.
10. Cross post to other Lost & Found sites. Post on Nextdoor.
11. Check SD Humane, Animal Control, Pawboost, Craigslist (beware of scammers) and other on line pet sites.
12. Use the Neighbors App by Ring or the Citizen app if you have either.
Keep looking. Don’t give up and don’t depend on others. Good luck! 🌻
