TIPS TO HELP FIND YOUR LOST CAT: - Check the house thoroughly as they sometimes hide in the house in unexpected places. -Check underneath your cars, in the car engine area, wheel wells and around the bumpers. -Ask neighbors around you to check garages and sheds as they can sneak in undetected. -See if your neighbors can leave their garages and sheds open for a few hours. Your cat may not come out right away once the doors are open. This is because when cats are in survival mode, they don't always act normal. Your cat may be scared to come out when others are around. - Put a piece of your unwashed clothing outside the last door he/she exited the house from and leave that door open at night so that they can get back inside. - Hang flyers with his/her picture and post all over your neighborhood & surrounding areas. - Take the flyers door to door asking if anyone has seen him/her. -Walk your neighborhood especially at night calling his/her name and listening as he/she may be hiding in the bushes or under something. - Take a flyer to the shelter. - Put a sign in your yard with his/her picture stating he/she is missing. - Check the shelters in person. - Review shelter's found reports. - File a lost report with the shelters. Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. They will not always respond to you, most do not. Between midnight to 5am are ideal times to find a missing indoor only cat. You can set your alarm for 12 PM, 3 AM, 5 AM etc. 3 AM is the best time to find a cat as this is the time they become most active and responsive. ***DO NOT leave litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats.*** Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for the cat to get in. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take weeks to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of the eyes. Calmly call your cat. Make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Most people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY important that you look for the cat as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. If possible, it's also suggested to keep open a door a few inches at night in case the cat comes home. After several days, you may want to leave some wet food just inside of the door as well. Kibble tends to attract raccoons so it's not recommended. You can get a camera that is pointed at the door, you can see if cat is coming to feed at night. One lady's indoor only cat was missing for three weeks and it was coming to eat the food but was too scared to come inside. She didn't know that it was coming back to the house until she got a camera. She had to get a trap to get the cat back inside. If you decide to trap, make sure that you do not leave the trap unattended as doing so makes the cat very vulnerable to being attacked. Sending prayers for your cat's swift and speedy return. 💕🙏💕

I don’t know if I’ve shared these tips or not but just in case I haven’t. I hope you find her soon. Tips for missing cats Hopefully it will help along with the video. Put unwashed clothes with familiar scent of someone kitty is attached to so kitty can smell the scent. Put something of kitty’s as well. File a lost report with the shelters. Be sure to notify your mail person. They can be a great resource since they are out and about in the neighborhood. Ask your neighbors to check their garages and sheds maybe kitty is hiding there. Look for kitty outside when it’s more quiet. Take some snacks or dry food and shake it and call kitty naturally like you call at home to eat or play. Look under cars and bushes when you are looking for kitty. Post on Nextdoor, 559 lost and found pets and the Ring app if possible. If microchipped contact the company to let them know kitty is missing. Put flyers in your area not everyone is on social media. Remember cats don’t usually roam far from their territory so chances are kitty is hiding nearby waiting until kitty feels safe to come out! Here is a great video for finding lost cats. I hope you find Nellie soon. ❤️🐾 https://m.facebook.com/watch/?extid=WA-UNK-UNK-UNK-IOS_GK0T-GK1C&v=204603164050824&paipv=0&eav=AfaLLkVb9_sGvLJXVZ9q7ApQxmiDI77GsjreeGuBH5FBLHTUjbhzqX8tmM4-6qV1694&wtsid=rdr_0KeH9pWT9wXWreNl7&ref=sharing&_rdr
