If your kitty is missing, they often don’t go far. Leave out warm/cold water, post flyers & put out food in a clear storage bin on its side. Just after dark/bef dawn go a little ways from where they were lost w/a flashlight. Stand still, call them softly, look under/around bushes/decks/sheds for eye shine & movement - shake a treat bag. If cold at night, put a heating pad in a box/crate on low. Put out/hang items that smell like you/them so the scent carries. Call into storm drains as sound echoes. Look in sheds & crawlspaces, especially if you/neighbor had work done recently or one was left open. Ask neighbors if You Can Help check their shed/crawl space/deck. Be Active in your search; Don’t just hope they’ll find their own way back. Go out at different times daily to call and look-best time is dusk to dawn. Reposition security cams to see if you spot them after dark. Ask neighbors to check their footage. Try a humane trap, available on Amazon. Easy to use, but must be checked every hour day or night if set open bc trapped animals are vulnerable. Send pic & info to local vets, rescues & animal control. If microchipped, check info is up-to-date & mark them as lost/missing. Look for lost/found pet pgs or county animal control pgs to post on: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067051195687 | facebook.com/lostandfoundpetsinchesterfieldandRVA | facebook.com/groups/660698751239235/ Here are sites w/info: Missing Animal Rescue Network (MARN) youtu.be/g2eCoC63B91 petfbi.org/ www.alleycat.org www.neighborhoodcats.org alleycatadvocates.org./ Nextdoor.com Pawboost.com & Ring Neighbors (no ring camera needed). Keep updating your post every 1-2 days so it shows back up in the feed. Note: leaving out litter/food in multiple places could be confusing & attract other cats/animals. Best of luck- I hope they’re home safe soon.
