Sorry to hear your cat is missing. Your cat is nearby probably on your property scared and hiding. Put out worn clothing. Clothing has to be worn so that kitty can pick up on the scent. Also put out kitty’s cat bed or a blanket anything with the cat’s scent outside. Leave a window and a door slightly open so that kitty can find its way back inside the house. Be sure to secure other pets first. Go out at Dawn and Dusk approximately 2 am to 5 am especially with a flashlight. The light from the flashlight will reflect in the cat’s eyes. Check underneath bushes, trees, cars, decks, patio furniture and tarps. Anything your cat will use as shelter and a place to hide. Check sheds, garages etc. Kitty’s venture off not to far away from home. Search your property extensively. Most cats are found hiding on owners property. Be sure to search properties at a radius of 10 homes to the right, 10 to the left, 10 behind and 10 in front. Go door to door and let your neighbours know your cat is missing. Ask for their permission to search their properties. Look at every nook and cranny. Neighbours will not thoroughly search their properties or know where to look. It is best if you search the properties yourself. Shake a bag of your cat’s favourite treats or food calling kitty’s name calmly. Important thing is to remain calm. If you find your cat, make no sudden movements. Your cat is scared and in survival mode. Approach your cat slowly and calmly. Extend your hand out so that your cat can smell your hand. You need to gain your cats trust again. Give your cat treats. When you think you can grab your cat confidently do so and hang on tightly to it. Remember your cat is scared and in survival mode and will be scared of you as well. Remain calm. Be sure to create flyers with as much information possible and hand out to your neighbours as well as post flyers in the neighbourhood and the surrounding areas. Remember 10 to the left 10 to the right, 10 to the front and 10 to the back. If you can offer a reward it will encourage others to look for your kitty. Do don’t leave the litter box outside it will attract stray cats, raccoons etc. It will scare your cat away. If your cat is microchipped call the company and report the cat missing. Make sure your contact information is up to date. Report your cat missing to your local SPCA or Human Society. Bring flyers as well to post. Go in person to your local SPCA /Humane Society every couple of days and check out what cats that were recently brought in. Contact rescue groups or agencies and report your cat is missing. Bring them flyers. Go in person and check what cats have been brought it. Report your cat missing on local Facebook animals group and neighborhood watch Facebook pages. Check Kijiji as well. Follow these tips. Don’t waste any time waiting for your cat to come home. Start your search immediately. Just keep going out looking for your cat everyday . Recheck your property, your neighbours and surrounding areas as mentioned as many times as necessary. Check in with the SPCA/Humane Society and rescue groups every couple of days. Don’t give up. It can take days, weeks or months to find your cat. Good luck finding for your cat.

Indoor cats usually stay in a 3 to 5 house radius of home * Will often hide all day and only come out late at night * Most will come home between 2 and 4 am * Leave the door or window they escaped from open if possible. If not, leave another door open if you can. * If you can't leave a door open, get up throughout the night and check outside. * Around 10 pm set out smelly food like rotisserie chicken * At night, walk the area and call softly. Listen carefully. Use a flashlight to catch eyeshine. * You can put the cat's blanket out or your worn clothing, or just make some lines or little piles of your cat’s dirty litter to help guide them back home. Ask your neighbors with garages/sheds or outdoor bat access to check as cats can be accidentally locked in and neighbors may go away on vacation without realizing a cat is in their bat or garage/shed. Also very important to look at the trees close by cats often get stuck high up in trees after being startled or chased. Not everyone is on facebook so for the best results put between 50-100 flyers in your area all around a 3-4 block radius. Also post on the other social media platforms-Instagram ring neighbors, Ring/neighbors app is totally free to post on and an alert is sent to all the neighbors who have cameras and just neighbors who are subscribed about your cat. Nextdoor Com is similar as it targets your area so all the neighbors who are on Nextdoor can be alerted to your missing kitty 🙏

🙏 Please go around local spots and shops with flyers and inform local rescues via cat chat website and local vets to keep look out. Please knock on your neighbours doors so they can lookout. Carry something with your babies scent and fav treats when going around, or contact (Beacon Tails Rescue)on facebook they helped me found my cat days ago, 👇👇 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574332356038
