Thank you all for your great advice!! We are walking the path and neighbourhood every night with kitty treats and a flashlight and calling for him. We have set out his bed, a blanket and a chair that he loves with food so hoping he will smell it and find home. We are going to put up flyers today and apply some of the other ideas suggested as well. We filled out a list report with humane society. He Loves our daughter and he is her emotional support animal so we are very hopeful to get him home to her. Thank you again 🙏

Your house cat won’t go far. 1. Make a lost pet report to MHS. PLEASE include a photo. Their descriptions of lost pets a minimal and not sufficient without a photo 2. Put posters up. Keep it simple. Lost loved cat (photo) If seen call (your phone and another back up phone number) Also put flyers on doors or at mailboxes within 5 blocks. 3. Talk to your neighbors. Help them understand how special kitty is to you and you would appreciate any help. Make sure you give your contact info. Get their names, it makes it more personal. Look for traps and outdoor feeding stations. This may be indications of friendly folks who tnr or people who may be trapping and dumping. If you suspect they may be trapping and dumping avoid being confrontational. Let them know you just want your kitty back. 4. Especially if kitty is indoor only, start trapping and leaving an open door overnight asap. See details below. Indoor cats will stay very nearby (within 100-150 feet at first) for several days and up to a week or two. This is the time to get ! home. , 5. Go out with a bright flashlight at night after things quiet down in your area (usually after 10 or 11pm) and look in every concealed small space around your house within about 150 feet. The light will make cats’ eyes glow, easier to find. Keep in mind that cats can fit in very tight spaces under sheds, burrowed deep in plants, inside car/truck engines, on roofs, up trees, in spaces between buildings, behind washers and dryers etc. Ask neighbors in adjacent houses to check sheds, garages, inside vehicles, etc as well. If your kitty responds to shaken treats do that a little. Speak softly and welcoming, gently calling your pets name. 6. Make a post to local cat groups on Facebook, on Nextdoor, etc 7. Follow tips below. •Most effective in first 5 days after kitty gets out but often works even after that. If it is safe, leave a door or window near the indoor litter box or near favorite person’s dirty clothes open at night for kitty to return. (This really works - just make sure it is open only wide enough for kitty and do NOT wait for kitty to come in. Use a super secure door stop or large piece of to prevent intruders from further opening the door. Do NOT stay just inside the door or there watching as. Cats want to slink in around 3 or 4 without being seen. Kitty will come in and hide indoors where it is safe like under a bed, in a closet, on your bed and won’t go back out. You can buy traps at Del’s Farm Supply or rent them from Maui Humane Society. You may be able to borrow one from a member of Maui Cat Coalition on Facebook or Dennis with Valley Isle Animal Rescue. •Set a trap out around dusk. •Put a light layer of newspaper in as some cats won’t walk on the cage mesh. •Put it on level ground under a bush or deck right along your house. If an outside feeder put it where you fed. •Bait with favorite wet food or even better with Tuna. Drizzle the juice from the can from a few feet away to the food in the cage. a •Put a towel over the trap that covers all but the entrance and the rear where the food is inside. Maybe even one of your used bath towels as the scent will be familiar. •Make sure it does not interfere with the door mechanism. Make sure the trap is set, take safety off before putting towel on. •Make sure the towel is tucked or weighted at the edges so it won’t blow off or move with wind. •Put sweaty clothing from the kitties favorite human(s) outside in the area of the trap. •Leave the trap alone. Do not check it during the night. Your cat will check it several times and not go in til 3 or 4 in the morning. If you are checking it kitty will not go in. Only check it just after sunrise. If you do not catch your cat or catch another cat the first time don’t get discouraged. Clean the trap with Dawn if another cat was in it and try again. Trapping is not cruel. It is the safest way to get kitty home before kitty is hurt or moves on out of fear and instinct. Good luck.

please get traps right away. indoor only cats usually run 100-15o0 feet from he door they exited and hunker. sometimes for many days and even weeks. they can "go feral" for fear and can run from loved ones. traps are safe and one of the only reliable ways to get cat back in. if you can sleep with your door safely cracked open, they will sometimes sneak back in, so that is also recommended..

Pro tips🙏🏼 Put dirty laundry or his bed outside, the scent will help his find his way home. If he's an indoor only kitty, he's probably close but hiding. Check under the house, porches, and in sheds and garages, anywhere he may be trapped. Ask your neighbors to do the same. If he's not home by tonight, search under bushes and shrubs with a flashlight, his eyes will reflect the light and you'll be able to see him . Call his name softly and gently shake a treat bag. If he eats wet food open a fresh can close to where he was last seen. Report to local animal shelters/ pounds and post on Craigslist, both Pets section and Lost and Found. Good luck!
