Ask neighbors to check their garages, sheds, and bats, they get trapped in them sometimes. Ask if you can look in their yards and under the porches and decks, and under the building. Ask neighbors, apartment buildings, nearby stores markets, businesses to look at their surveillance camera's video for your cat, give them a flyer,give a flyer to postal workers and delivery people.Put up Lost flyers in the area where the cat is lost. Go out tonight with a flashlight and a bag of cat treats,a towel, and carrier,in the event you find your cat. Calmly call the cat's name,shake the treat bag, with the light,look under vehicles,in their wheel wells,hit the hoods,knick on bumpers and fenders (sometimes they crawl up in the vehicle for warmth and safety),look in and around bushes and shrubbery, up trees, shine the light on rooftops, on decks, on windowsills, on fire escapes, look in crawl spaces, between and behind buildings,if safe to,in alleyways. Calmly call the cat's name,then shake the treat bag. Please repeat these actions throughout the neighborhood where the cat is lost, alternating between searching, Calmly calling the cat, and shaking the treat bag. If you see, or find your cat, try to lure it into the carrier with fishy wet food,talk to your cat,try to lure it to you, if it lets you touch it, grasp it by the scruff of its neck, wrap the towel around it like a burrito, and put into the carrier from the top, or with the open side facing upward,and lowering the cat into the carrier, butt first. Put up Lost flyers in the neighborhood where kitty is lost, and where it was last seen. Pawboost, LostMyKitty, PetcoLoveLost, and 24PETCONNECT offer free flyers for download, this one is from Canva.com

❤️ 🙏 Call for kitty early morning and at night as you walk around slowly, and during the day knock on doors ask neighbors to PARTIALLY open garages and sheds and storages and crawlspace - any place kitty could have gotten stuck - leave partially open for 2 hours allowing him time to escape..if a neighbor is not home, then tape a flyer to the front door using painter's tape (won't harm the door) Keep track on a printed google map so you don't miss anyone..don't give up ❤️ Don't wait for anyone online - we live all over and your kitty is near YOU and your actual neighbors who are not seeing these posts ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Don’t stop searching and calling for your cat at night and early morning when it’s quiet. Another lost cat was just found 2 doors away UNDER the house TRAPPED under the house for a month! - the neighbor heard something when she came home late and saw a very thin cat - she banged on her neighbor's door (she had seen the flyers for a month!) and he raced over and got his cat - who was SKINNY and dirty but alive!! Don't give up and don't stop taking action in person. Your cat could be stuck in a neighbor's shed or crawl space - please ask neighbors again to open up garages/sheds/storage units/crawl spaces/bats for 3 hours - allowing time for escape. Put out wet food by the door your cat normally goes in and out of ... they are often way closer than we think - just stuck and too scared to meow or sometimes they can't meow for not having water for so many days. Gain permission to go under bats ALONE - shine a flashlight under carefully - in the hopes of catching the GLOW of your cat's eyes. Continue to slowly walk and call for your cat - going right up to neighbor's garages and up against fences...let neighbors know you will be doing this at night...❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I'm so sorry your backyard kitty is missing💕 As you may know, cats don't leave their territory. Many cats are getting stuck/trapped at nearby neighbors as folks open and close bats/sheds/crawl spaces/ not knowing a curious kitty snuck inside ...and folks close door and windows when they leave town on vacation - same thing. You must focus completely on in-person searching , talking to neighbors flyering every single residence (tape the flyer directly onto the front door top and bottom so it stays - use painter's tape won't harm the door) Mark on a printed GOOGLE. MAP of your block and surrounding blocks as you go door to door to talk to every neighbor possible, asking them to open up their sheds /storage unit/s, crawl space, garage doors for a few hours and then close them again - allowing a cat enough time to get out (they usually do not run out right away) . Post flyers on both sides of every lamppost 2 blocks out in all directions (Place flyers inside CLEAR SHEET PROTECTORS with th opening facing downward so they last through the dewy mornings and weather. AND tape a flyer or mini flyer directly onto every apt /house door if no one answers the door when you go knocking door to door asking neighbors to open up any shed or crawl space they may have closed recently and to leave open for a few hours giving skittish kitty time to escape on their time. ❤️❤️❤️ IMPORTANT: AT night CALMLY call for kitty ….the later the better so it's super quiet when it's dark and quiet - WALK AROUND THE BLOCK calling in your normal calm voice and listen for meows coming from a neighbor's garage or backyard . THough MOST feral will not meow if stuck or injured, but some WILL knowing their feeder ! Kitty also could have hurt a back leg for example and can't jump a fence to get back home. Another reason to talk to your actual neighbors and gain permission to check ALONE under their back decks or under stair cases and crawl spaces and sheds USING A FLASHLIGHT even during the day - to catch the reflection/GLOW of kitty's eyes. I can't tell you how many stories about lost cats both indoor only and indoor/outdoor cats that are found using flashlights in dark places catching the cat's eye GLOW. I also always recommend to aim a motion activated camera at kitty's escape or EXIT point - where you leave wet food before each sunset. Water bowl 10 feet away in the shade (not near the food). The most important thing is to keep taking action in person and not give up! no matter what anyone says -❤️ damia 💥 CAMERA: Mini Blink WIFI camera $29 : https://a.co/ihc7BSy
