Please secure him/her in a carrier or something he/she can’t escape from. If you can’t grab him try luring him with food. Please do not leave it outside. Put in a bathroom or bat temporarily. Post on the Citizen App and take to any shelter, Vet, emergency vet, or police station and have scanned for a microchip The owner might not be on social media. Make sure anyone trying to claim the animal has proof of vet records, photos, and can identify any special markings. Don’t give away too much information about the animal so that the owners can ID him/her. There are a lot of cruel people out there. If owners are found be sure they want the animal so he/she doesn’t wind back up on the streets. Thank you for trying to help. 🐾LA

❗ Call the microchip company ASAP, they will send out an alert. ❗️Post flyers everywhere, including local shelters, vets, and police stations. Make sure to call all of them to see if anyone has turned the cat in. ❗️Post on the Citizen App ASAP, it will reach thousands of people in your area in a matter of minutes. ❗️Ask neighbors if they have cameras or ring doorbells, and if they can look at them to see if he passed by. ❗️Buy or rent a trap from a rescue, vet, police station, friend, or neighbor. ❗️Get cans of 9-Lives, put the trap by your house or building, and put the food inside (1 can at a time on a plate). Write a note: “Please don’t touch, trapping lost cat, please call (add your #) if seen.” Check the trap every 15 minutes, as you might catch other wildlife that needs to be released. ❗️Be patient — it can take a couple of days to catch him as cats get scared when not used to being outside, and they act differently. They normally hide during the day and come out at night. ❗️Check under the porches and back decks of neighbors, as they make great hiding spots, along with bushes. ❗️Use a drone to scan the area, yards, and hard to access area 🙏🏻 You find him soon 🐈‍⬛
