Emily Losh You're welcome! Sorry for calling Sawyer a "he"!! I have corrected that. I'm glad that you are not going up hope. I found my lost cat last summer after he was missing for seven weeks. I will keep praying for Sawyer.

Put out something that she's familiar with that carries her scent (a bed, a blanket but NOT a litterbox). CALL FOR HER IN THE QUIET, STILL HOURS (11pm-7am). THIS IS SO IMPORTANT (5am seems to be the luckiest hour)!!!!!!! Scared cats move around while the rest of the world is still. Put out food in intervals (not at night) when you can keep an eye out. Talk to your neighbors, generally, they don't go far and find an open garage or shed to huddle down. If these suggestions don’t work: lost pet cats may not respond the way you’d expect your beloved kitty to and they may not just come to your calling so be prepared to have to use a humane trap (she will return to herself once she’s back inside) and put signs in your local pet store (if someone takes her in they will need litter and food). I hope you find her 🍀

Poor baby!! She's probably scared and hiding/seeking shelter nearby. Keep checking under nearby porches, decks, shrubs and in garages and sheds. Best times to search and call for her are at dusk and dawn. Keep putting food, water, and something with her scent on it outside your door to help her find her way back. Also, in late afternoon/early evening each day, put canned tuna/fishy canned cat food outside your door. The fishy food is important because she will smell from wherever she's hiding. It's what got my cat to come back when he was lost. When you put the canned food out, pay close attention to your other cat because she may alert you when Sawyer is nearby. When my cat was lost, his sister would run to the window when he was nearby. Also, since she's super scared and not familiar with the area, I would recommend setting a humane trap to catch her. I believe you can borrow one from Humane Ohio on Alexis Road. If your previous apartment wasn't too far away, let the people there know about Sawyer in case she tries to make her way back there. Put flyers up at that apartment complex. Also let neighbors and mail carrier at your new home know so they can be on the lookout for Sawyer. Put flyers up in the area and include a reward. Post on Sylvania/Toledo Lost and Found Pet page to get the word out. Sending prayers for Sawyer to be safe and found quickly.

Here are a few things you can try. Cats usually don’t go far. They just hide well. Cats are very active at dusk and dawn. So first of all you can go out and call for him. You can put his food/water, and lots of cat nip outside your house to help draw him back. Also, put your cat's bedding that has your cat's scent on it outside to attract your cat back to your home. Also putting your own unwashed clothes or bedding out . Cats run on scent and this is highly effective in luring your cat back home .PetMD backs this up, can help lure the cat back home, as it's a comfortable and familiar smell. Shake the treat/food container outside. Check garages, especially under porches and decks,dense bushes, etc. Get one of those strong flashlights they will catch a cat's reflective eyes two blocks away and save you tons of time!!! Do not leave the food out overnight as it will attract other animals that can scare the kitty away. Go to your neighbors and let them know your kitty got out and give them your contact info. Walk your neighborhood and talk to people as you can. Take a flyer TO your local vets office and shelter a face is better than a thousand words of description and check every couple of days in person if possible Sometimes it can take weeks or months to find your kitty. Also post with Pawboost and Sam the Parrot about your missing cat. Many times cats are found within a couple hundred feet of their homes. Post fliers around your neighborhood with your phone number that people can call day or night. And talk to your mail carrier. They see lots of animals. If they see a strange kitty around, they may recognize it as yours. Make sure you call local animal shelters, etc Best time to look is between 1-6AM Get a humane trap ASAP! This it's the best chance at retrieving your cat. Line it with newspaper. The ONLY food you leave out should be in that trap. Do not leave the trap set for long periods of time unattended, especially overnight. The most importantly do not give up hope! Open your garage door a little. Don’t put the litter box out. 🙏🏻Also take a flashlight out at night and look in and under things to see if you can see the kitty’s eyes.
