Be Proactive and Aggressive in your search. Act Fast. Sometimes people wait, mistakenly thinking cat will just come home on their own. Don’t give up. Indoor cats don’t usually go far. They get scared and try to be quiet. They could be hunkering down in nearby bushes, under decks/porches, crawlspaces etc. Look in garages/sheds, rafters, trees and drainage pipes. Place a humane trap with stinky food in it on your property or ask neighbors if you can put one on theirs. If you have a dog, use their strong sense of smell taking them for a walk around the neighborhood and your home. Alert neighbors and ask to look on their property and garages/sheds, under sheds too if obvious holes dug by animals. Go out in the quiet of night with a Tactical LED flashlight looking for glowing eyes. Sit out in the quiet of night and read a book out loud in a calm and soothing voice.
Shake noisy cat toy or treats. Keep garage slightly open with cats bed/blanket and articles of owners unwashed items. Also check thoroughly indoors, linen closets, totes, under couches lining, cupboards etc.. Neon posters at intersections, otherwise how would someone who isn’t on social media and might have seen or taken in your cat know some is looking. Physically go to shelters and leave info every couple days. Leave info at local veterinarian offices. Also post on Facebook pages, For The Love Of Louie & Lost Pets Of Grand Blanc. Also post on your local Nextdoor app and the Pawboost app they will send out email alerts to members and also post on Facebook.Good Luck. Get home safe and Sound Jeter 🙏🏻❤️
