🔻 🔻 Can you or Have you set a Humane live trap? MUST BE MONITORED CLOSELY Cover the trap to block wind, rain, snow, sun. An old throw rug or towel with the scent of home is helpful. Large paper leaf bags work as well,trap fits in nicely 🐾 Alert all neighbors and ask to check sheds,garages, under decks, bushes, even old dog houses. If possible place pets bed in garage with food and something that smells like home. Leave garage door up just enough to allow entry for kitty. 🐾 🔴 PLEASE USE CAUTION DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, TRAP SHOULD BE MONITORED EVERY 30 MINUTES for the well being of the animal ☺️ PLEASE TAKE NOTE, trap should be checked at least every few hours. IN INCLEMENT WEATHER EXTREME CAUTION IS NEEDED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ANIMAL🐾

The best time to look for a cat is late at night after the daytime sounds settle down. Go for a walk and take a flashlite scan into the trees and under bushes. A cat can fit in any hole that they can fit their head thru they have collapsible shoulder blades. Most indoor cats stay close to home but come out at night. Most important is to make your presence known. Go out every half hour after 9pm and call for them and stop and listen it's amazing what you can hear late at night. Get your voice and scent out there. They are looking for you also. Look for glowing eyes at night. If there is a dog sibling that the cat likes take the dog on the walk. If you open canned cat food or shake treats do so on your walk. If the cat has a noisy toy shake it on your walk. Make posters and put in every business within a mile of the home. Let your mail carrier know. If there are teenagers in the neighborhood let them know they love reward money and being a hero. Check all local shelters. Let local veterinarians know your info. If there is a feral colony near you check it out. If you can find the feeder of the colony give them your info. Make large signs and put in neighbors yards at least a mile radius of the home. This ensures that everyone in the area has the info. Put post it notes on your neighbors doors to look in sheds and garages. Post on every Facebook forum in your area. Post on Pawboost and For the love of Louie. Check Humane Society. So important to make your presence known every half hour after 9pm. Make a bed out of the cats carrier and put soiled clothes from inside the home around the bed. Put it as close to the house as you can. Leave a shed or garage open check them often. Camp in your yard. Most indoor cats are found late at night. Don't give up. Do not put food out or litter it attracts every animal in the area including raccoon opossum feral cats and coyotes. Your cat will know that there is food inside and that is incentive to keep them close to the house. If you are outside that's OK but take it in when you go back in. If your cat sees a predator eating their food it might make them retreat further. Most important is to let them know you are looking for them. Hope you find your baby

Scatter some articles of clothing or blankets with strong familiar smells around the outside of your house. Cats have a strong sense of smell. Usually they stay close. If it’s an inside cat, fear will drive him/her to hunker down and hide, close to home, for a day or two. After that, hunger will drive him/her out. Be on the lookout at their usual feeding times. Unfortunately, they usually won’t come to their names either. It’s also a good idea to leave the door/window the kitty got out of cracked open overnight. Over 50% of them walk right back in in the middle of the night within a couple of days! Use familiar smells and routines to help keep him close to home. Good luck! 🤞🍀🌈🙏
