General Information: Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. NO LITTER BOX OR FOOD. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

You need to physically go into Agoura Animal Shelter and Camarillo, Animal Shelter. They pick up strays every single day! They’re so overcrowded that if you tried calling them, they wouldn’t be able to identify your cat,even if he was looking right back at them! Too overcrowded !I know exactly where you live. You need to walk through those walking and hiking trails near those houses …you have hiking trails ..hopefully find your cat there’s so many places that cat can be! please put up flyers. Is your cat micro chipped? You have a lot of searching to do in that area… it’s beautiful, but it’s very vast and there’s so many places your cat could be hiding to feel safe! I hope you find your beautiful cat.
