Please try these tips they have definitely helped others to get their pet home. Watch a tip video on youtube about how to find your lost cat,there are several. Post and check on Nextdoor for sightings. Also just heard about this site offering great useful tips so definitely check it out “lostcatfinder.com” Just know your kitty is probably not far away so the sooner the better, put out something of yours or the cats out for scent, putting out the litter box is not recommended as it attracts unwanted critters that could possibly scare your cat off again. 🔺SO IMPORTANT…. Look with flashlight early a.m. and/or late at night, calling and shaking food. That part is crucial because those are the quiet hours and your cat would be more prone to coming out of hiding. put up flyers too. If you get any sightings use a trap, sometimes you can borrow from animal control or Amazon has them. I have recently heard some take smelly, oily fish (juice only) (sardines, tuna) and make a “smelly trail” around their house to help with scent. Dont give up too soon , i had one gone for weeks and as i was about to give up, my last night to call her, she was in our yard. Also just heard someone found theirs after 70 days so…… 🙏🏻🙏🏻 EDIT: Regarding looking early a.m. or late p.m. hours I feed a stray and I see him on our ring camera before it gets truly light so when I say early a.m. I mean something like 530 am. Also when searching if you notice any feral cat colonies/feeding stations, definitely check them out

Linda Saunders Good luck to you! Tank has a little more black and he’s not very adventurous. He runs home with his name or treats so it’s devastating to be without him. We are fearing for his safety, as not everyone likes cats. Security cams show last show his walking across neighbors driveway and that’s the last of him. Hopefully both are found!

I just looked at your cat he and Milo have the exact uneven white area under their nose! If he was not yours I would swear he was Milo. One thing don’t do, we spent $180 on a camer to look through all the areas where water drains are… once you get down there the hole is so small and the screen is so small it was a waste of time! But the last time Milo got two years ago he went down in a drain! It cost a fortune because his feet were torn up and it was like two week vet bill.

We are looking for the exact same cat in charter colony. His name is Milo and a tuxedo cat. We have been looking for seven days. It’s the exact same situation you have. He is 10 years old. He is an inside cat he’s been neutered and clawed. We were babysitting him for our daughter because we just moved to charter colony. The idea that he got out is really bad because he has no idea where he is or anything about the new house that we now live in The we have been using cameras and we have been using the trappers. We’ve got a larger man of them and at night they’re eight of us were taking turns monitoring the cameras we went and bought the Bing cameras and set them all up around where we’ve got trapped set and the yard and the areas he could possibly be in all we’ve seen is there is a black stray young cat. He has been here going on four weeks with the cameras now we’re able to see him and maybe at least catch him because he is gonna need shots and other things but since we’ve been looking for Milo, it’s made it easier because the cats actually eating the food it’s outside the traps plus what we learned because this stray cat was here first he’s already marked his territory and Milo being a male will not come back in it so even if he remembered getting out when the garage went up, I doubt seriously he can get back. I’m gonna leave this lady‘s name. She’s coming here tomorrow she has. I guess you call it a business she was working with the family yesterday and I think it had been several weeks. They’ve been looking for their dog and believe it or not she found him. She’s very strict. She does things her way she made that clear so I’m gonna put how you can find her if you are interested in doing something find your baby.

Ask neighbors to check sheds, crawl spaces, garages, under decks, bushes, and anywhere else he could be trapped or hiding. Put up flyers, post on NextDoor, and notify and visit animal control. Best of luck!
