Post on Nextdoor and Neighbors Ring apps. Indoor cats stay close to home or where they got out and may hide out of fear. Put out items of your daughters dirty unwashed clothing, socks or towels with her scent on it, cats are attracted to the scent of their owners, 🚫DO NOT put a litterbox outside or in your garage with door cracked despite others telling you to do so, it can attract predators, dogs or tomcats to the area that could endanger and chase him/her off preventing your cat from returning home.🚫 Go out multiple times between dusk and dawn with a flashlight to look for eyeshine, look in bushes, under cars, anywhere a cat would hide and bring his/her treat bag and shake it while calling his/her name. You can even try a laser pointer toy and shine it around on the ground while out looking. If he/she is microchipped make sure your contact info is up to date and contact chip company to report as missing. Put up flyers within a 1 mile radius, not everyone uses social media. Talk to your neighbors, have them check garages, yards and sheds. Check the Henderson animal shelter daily, go in person also and bring a missing flyer of your cat to leave with them, they don’t always update their website daily. Most importantly be consistent and persistent, get out there on foot, not car, every day after sunset and search and don’t give up.

If he is an indoor only cat he will not go far. Usually within a five house radius. He is hiding close by and will be elusive. Walk up and down your neighborhood while shaking your favorite bag of food or treats or whatever brings your kitty running to you at all times of morning , day and night. You may also want to consider using one of those toy laser lights at night to bring your cat out of hiding. Knock on neighbor’s doors and give them a good contact number in case they see him. Very important in case they are stuck in a garage or shed or God forbid even hurt. Not everyone will see your fliers and post. If you have a garage or front door, leave it cracked open just enough for kitty and leave bedding or clothing that has your scent, also leave food and water, but be aware of predators. Remember in most cases, he will be close by, so don’t give up and keep looking. You may want to consider borrowing or buying a humane trap. Be persistent and consistent and most importantly, Don’t Stop Looking! Not all cats will just show up at your door. It took us over a month to get our kitty home with the help of neighbors. God Bless you and your fur babies. Be aware of scammers. They ask for number codes and money.
