IMMEDIATELY PLEASE! IF YOU HAVE LOST OR FOUND A PET, SOCIAL MEDIA IMPORTANT FOR REUNIFICATION. These can be used for any area (but it is customized for Irving.) 1. If found, go to any 24-hr vet and ask them to check for a chip. Free to do! 2. If your pet is lost, call your chip company to report. Be sure your contact info is current with them. 3. THEN—either lost or found, go down all these lost/found pages—way, way down to see if there is a post; DO DAILY as pets can reported as late as several months. 4. IMPORTANT—If you are not on FACEBOOK, either get on or find a friend who is: there are pages for every area such as these for Irving: a) Lost Dogs and Cats in Irving and b) ALL PETS Lost and Found Dogs and Cats too in Irving. 5. Post on Pawboost and Ring and Pet911.org and Petcolovelost.com 6. VERY IMPORTANT. Go on your local shelter's website. Find lost/found pets pictures; check DAILY--as it may take days or weeks for your pet to be taken there. (For Irving, go to cityofirving.org/3265/animal-services; go down to bi-line; click on Lost and found.) 7. Dogs travel FAR (you would be surprised), so also check all surrounding city shelters and Facebook pages. Sometimes folks pick them up at one location; then leave them at another (heartbreaking). 8. Go to your local shelter IN PERSON as often as possible (Irving shelter at 4140 Valley View) if you can’t get there, go through the pages as mentioned on # 6 above DAILY. 9. If you are looking for your cat, be SURE your cross streets near you are indicated and the city because they often don’t travel very far— and your neighbors can be on the lookout. Put out dirty clothes on your porches. NOT THE LITTERBOX! Talk to your neighbors with your voice and ask for their help to look. Make paper flyers for neighbors with your cats photo and your contact info and ask them to check their garages and storage sheds in case the cat got trapped. 10. LASTLY, fastest way to connect to your pet is to leave your phone number because it is EASY to get lost on all these pages; but always BEWARE OF SCAMMERS. Never give money before having your pet back in your arms; demand pictures of them with your animal. Always meet in a very public place to get your pet WITH ANOTHER person. 11. Once home, chip your pet and keep contact info UPDATED. Get a collar with id tag with TWO PHONE #s. Want pets at home!

TIPS TO HELP FIND LOST PET:✅Place his/her bedding, your shoes, a piece of your unwashed clothing (such as a sweatshirt, blanket, pillowcases) and food/water outside *if there is coyotes in the area bring the food in at night*.🚫Do not put litter box outside. Putting the litter box outside can attract predators and other cats which might keep your cat from returning home🚫*Putting out the other items listed above, are scents only your cat will recognize* ‼️ They might be nearby and can’t figure out how to get inside ***IF you have a garage or door/sliding door that can be left open*** Leave the garage/ or door cracked for them and place the shoes, bedding, jand unwashed clothing in the garage‼️ ✅Walk around the area calling them calmly early morning and late evening when it’s quiet & shake a bag of treats or a squeaky toy, something they would recognize. ✅If he/she is microchipped contact the microchip company to report him/her lost and make sure your contact info is up to date. ✅Hang flyers (use a bright color board or paper) with picture in your neighborhood, surrounding areas, local shopping centers, businesses, vet's offices, groomers, etc. within a five mile radius from your home. ✅Go door to door with the flyers as well and try to speak with people when handing out flyers. ✅Make a sign with his/her picture and put it in your front yard stating he/she is missing. ✅File a lost report with the shelters in your area and surrounding area shelters ✅Check shelters in person, daily if possible. Ask to see the animals in isolation too. ✅Check shelter websites daily (as it is updated hourly) ✅Check shelter found reports for found postings but not at the shelter. ✅Take a flyer to the shelters. ✅File online with petharbor, pawboost ✅Post on area lost and found pet and community Facebook pages, area shelter Facebook pages, newspapers, nextdoor and Craigslist under "pets" and "Lost and Found". Cats usually are close to home. Hang clothes with your scent out. Ask your neighbors if they would look in their yard or garage or storage sheds to see if he is there or check their Ring camera to see if he was spotted on camera. Make sure you post fliers with your contact information on it so if he is spotted they can call you and tell his location. Keep an access point open for him to slip back in your home. Look in bushes or hiding spots around your home as if he is scared he will make himself safe by finding a hiding spot. Sometimes the best time to find your cat is when the noise level is low - after hours - or early morning hours. Take a flashlight and shine and look for the eyes under cars up trees in bushes. Good luck!
