Please pass on advice š
If your cat usually returns home and hasnāt thereās usually something thatās stopping them! Ie. trapped/injured/spooked off. Go find them ā¤ļøš
Hi, please follow all this advice! Start ASAP
You must do it all as soon as possible.
Important! Keep repeating till found š
Straight away start searching for your cat in trapped places close by, out buildings/sheds garages. Search Deep in bushes/hedgerows incase knocked and injured by roads (In the day). Then at 1pm at night go out calling calmly for your cat as you would call for them in the house itās silent out at night and gives your cat the best chance of hearing you and responding. Stay out as long as possible around your area moving slowly around and listening for them.
Stand out side your house/flat talking to your cat as you would in your home when itās quiet for 15 mins a time and taking breaks listening for any meowing. (Also shake treats) front and back of property.
* Empty your hoover all around out side front and back of house and in the road. ( spread it around in bits)
This is for the cat to smell your home. Trust me works a treat from miles away. Do this every night. Keep hoovering, and emptying throw it up in the air too.
Make sure you Check deep in hedgerows next to any roads to check your cat hasnāt been knocked and injured they climb in deep to hide!!
Knock on everyoneās doors all around where you live make sure they all open up garages and sheds any out door buildings literally everyone in half a mile radius. Get door knocking!! Daily! Check absolutely everywhere your cat could be trapped/stuck. Your cat May of been spooked by another cat and ran to safety they can get in the smallest spaces! Down in between small walls/holes, under decking etc. Start this asap.
Leave a blanket outside that smells of your cat/ (somewhere dry) or some of their cat toys and food. Leave food out if possible for them to smell at night.. Also if they have a litter tray put that out with out cleaning it. it will smell of them or another cat you have. Put some out the front and back off your home sprinkle it around. (For them to smell their scent)
Very important! Go out calling and listening around your neighbourhood at night when itās quite and early mornings! for at least an hour a time . Shake treats listen for any meowing also when itās supper quite your voice travels to encourage them back home if they have gone to far or you will hear them meowing if trapped anywhere.
Always leave access back in to your house for them 24/7 they most likely will return at night and you donāt want them to be spooked off.
Cats can easily get spooked off by other cats out of their normal territory so walk a little further around where you live looking for them and calling calmly you donāt want to scare them away.
Make leaflets with your phone number on and a brief description of them (picture) and post them through all doors in a mile radius.
Pop up POSTERS in your area on lamp post!
Keep going out looking for them and calling at night this so important. They feel safe to move then. Keep calm in your voice.
Do all these things ASAP and keep repeating daily and Iām pretty sure it will get your cat back before you know it. Good luck š¾š¾
Cats, are usually injured somewhere hedge rows, bushes, woods etc check. Or stuck/trapped in somewhere look in all areas. Sometimes They have wondered to far and lost their sense of direction if spooked by another cat ( keep looking and walking around calling) also someone could be feeding them keeping them in so important to knock neighbours far and wide to let them know it your cat! Thereās always something stopping them returning to you find out what it is.
Share on social media and next door emails in your area! But donāt rely on this. If your cat doesnāt usually wonder you will need to find it.
GOOD LUCK š¾
