Cats- hi Some general information: Stay off Lost Pet websites. They are too spread out. When we lose a cat the goal is not to let 200 random people somewhere in Arizona know that we are missing a cat. 😉 The goal is not to get the word out to people 20 to 40 miles away.😉 The goal is: To let people on your street know. To motivate them to look and let you know. See cats are usually less than 10 houses from home. A frightened or roaming cat will often hunker down in fear somewhere and stay there. Usually within a 3-to-5 house radius if they are indoor-only. They often do not come out even when you call them. Also, it's very important if you live in a coyote zone that you start knocking on neighbor's doors immediately. Don't just wait for your cat to show up. Knock on the door ask them to check their backyard while you stand there and wait! You don't want to say can you please check and let me know because they often won't. Rewards WITH THE AMOUNT inspire people to pay more attention and go the extra mile. Even people that don't like cats will help for the right incentive. I would put $20-$40 REWARD Phone number and 1 big picture of your cat on a flyer. Absolutely nothing else! Not lost cat, nothing. Tape them on all the garage doors on your street and the street behind you. 🚨Do not leave the litter box outside if you live in a coyote zone it draws coyotes! 13-year Lost Pet Advocate

A high % of Lost Pet cases are solved in their neighborhood!!! THAT'S WHERE THE SEARCH NEEDS TO BE! This is why the neighborhood apps work best. Post at least three times a day on both of them. Dogs: Many lost dogs are found within 1–2 miles of where they went missing, especially if they escaped from home. Depending on the dog's personality and circumstances, some stay within a few blocks while others travel much farther. Cats: Indoor cats that get outside are often found very close to home—frequently within a few houses to about 500 feet (150 m). Outdoor cats and more adventurous cats may roam farther, (usually within a block) but many are discovered hiding nearby. THIS WHY OWNERS SHOULD BE ON BOTH NEXT DOOR AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORS BY RING APP POSTING THREE TIMES A DAY. AND PUTTING UP VERY SIMPLE FLYERS SO PEOPLE CAN READ THEM FROM 20 FT AWAY (a flyer doesn't work if nobody can read it): REWARD AMOUNT PHONE NUMBER ONE BIG CLEAR PICTURE OF THE PET. Don't even put lost dog on there. The reward is your attention grabbing headline. Get at least 40 Flyers up at the major intersections north south east and west of you. All four sides of the intersection. And at the exit points from your subdivision and the one across the street from you. Should take about an hour. Do more if you can but it's hot. The next day put another 40 up expanding your range by a mile.
