You may have done some of this already, but if not, it might be worth putting some leaflets with a photo through the doors of houses/flats in nearby roads to home. Many people don’t walk around their local area and some don’t go out a great deal so they might not realise a visiting cat in their garden is a missing one. Plus, posters at the railway stations, bus stops, and newsagents. A poster at the station worked for me. Mine was found after 10 days, so don’t give up hope. Also if you have any used cat litter, (or bedding), spread bits of it around your borders outside, (not the tray). Cats can pick up their scent from some distance. I hope your cat is back home with you soon.🙏🤞🐾

Lost Cat To owner - apologies if I’ve already given you this advice on another post. Try all or some of the following tips, some you might have already - Put out some of any used litter if applicable. Not full tray as you may need it to repeat process. Hang out clothes worn not washed. And pet bedding. And repeat with fresh worn clothes regularly. Go out after 10pm when it’s quieter. Not everyone is on social media so chap neighbours in and around surrounding streets and URGE them to check huts n garages. Posters if need be. Also check in around local empty houses in case they have got in when workmen etc in and out. If you have a dog in household take it with you in search as your cat may pick up on its scent. Check local vets and if not already done so contact Cat protection and share on local community websites. and share to the many missing pet websites in and around your area and Uk wide incase reported as found roaming or has travelled further afield. Check if any deliveries in your street in case they hitched a lift. And contact the delivery company if there were. Ive found cats that have travelled in delivery vehicles and cars and reunited them months later. Dont give up and repeat. Good luck x IF YOUR READING THIS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COPY AND SHARE TO HELP OTHERS. ❤

[ ] Don’t put their litter/litter trays out as this can attract other cats which may then deter your cat from returning to their territory [ ] Best time to check is 2/3am when it’s dark and quiet [ ] When you go searching always take a Torch as that will reflect the cats eyes in dark places. go searching late and early when its quiet, shake treats, call and listen and wait , cats need time to respond [ ] Look up Trees/roof tops, empty houses, church yards, cellars [ ] Look In hedges, bushes, bramble, ditches [ ] Under decking and under sheds garages, tarpaulins , behind meter box [ ] Behind bins and under cars in case injured [ ] Down any steep embankments, rabbit holes, ponds, drains, water butts [ ] Gaps In between fences and buildings, [ ] Ask people to leave sheds garages open a while to give a trapped cat time to escape as they wont just run out, they hide in fear [ ] When searching in bushes etc,get down to cat level as its easier to see them or use walking sticks upside down for ease, using the L ....shaped handle ....for moving bushes aside to gently search [ ] Put posters up and leaflet houses [ ] Check any CCTV/ring door bells and ask neighbors to check also, see if he was picked up or got in a vehicle [ ] Put familiar smells out, , blanket, empty hoover contents in garden [ ] Hang your used unwashed bed sheets out, t shirts, smelly socks [] Make sure there is a way for your cat to get back in your house, even when you are asleep, maybe wedge open the cat flap, or leave a window open [] Ask postman to keep a look out, let him have a leaflet, they go to most houses daily [] Contact all vets in the area, the local council, cat rescues and microchip company to let them know and flag them up as missing [] Contact ‘Harvey’s Army North’ on Facebook who will make you a poster with are ll the relevant information on that you can then share and post through letterboxes and on lampposts [] Share with all local vets/councils/rescues in the area asking them to put it up in their reception/offices [] Also put them on the Nextdoor app and PawBoost
