Hi, Ruth. Thank you so much for the great information and the suggestions. I will be placing individual flyers in every mailbox in my neighborhood tomorrow after I get them printed out, which enables me to continue to check everybody's front yard and side yard and vegetation areas. I activate his tracker in GPS so that he can hear it. Ever since he was a kitten and wearing one, he would immediately run home as soon as he heard the music. That's what I'm hoping for 🕊️🐾

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to 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 her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be killed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months 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 her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her 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. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.

Thank you, Ann..... Love him to the moon and back. I will leave that side door open and keep the main garage door closed. I have his favorite blanket just outside the garage door, and I have some fresh water for him. Just came back from walking the full perimeter of the coyote den in our neighborhood near Moore Middle School. Took photographs, because I did not see any sign of him, his remains... I think he got scared and bolted. Hopefully he is not injured. I have started taking his GPS and tracker, of which he is very familiar with each tune, and walk up and down the street, playing both of them while looking in in bushes and shrubbery in every neighborhood and every neighbor's yard. I think if he was not injured, he would run for the house, which he normally does when I activate his GPS.

Leave your side garage door open 24 hours. Sometimes they go in after exploring and realizing they are scared. Good luck! I hope you find him. It’s easy to see how much you love Oliver.💕

Since he was lost today, it’s still early and developing, and there’s hope. He may be nearby. If the collar is a breakaway type, my cat has one w/ an AirTag, and the collar came off earlier this week. My cat was fine and I found the collar across the street. It happened with a few of my other cats too—they lost their collar but came home fine. So your cat may be fine despite the collar falling off.

Thank you so much, Joseph. I have done all of that, multiple times, and I'm not going to quit. I'm going to hope and pray that he will come out when he feels safe to do so. I have not seen any sign or indication of trauma, blood, ripped out nails, no evidence of teeth marks on his collar or his GPS tracker equipment. I'm hoping that he got in a fight with a cat And against all odds, sustained some type of injury. I keep desperately trying to erase the image of the coyote going up and down the street Tuesday night at 10pm and that the last time I saw him was at 9:46 p.m. Tuesday night. Thank you for reaching out.

Check in bushes and under cars near your home, and check on the next street over, especially in the evening with a flashlight, calling out to him and making a familiar sound. And ask neighbors if he may be trapped in their garage or shed. I hope he is found soon🙏🏻

Thank you so much, Kevin. Have been walking and driving for hours through the neighborhood and checking all my neighbors' bushes and shrubberies. I have been making direct contact with some, who have offered to check there sheds and backyards for any sign of him. I'm not going to give up, because I'm of the firm belief that without signs of an overt struggle, and without signs of hair or skin, blood drops, or even his toenails... Not one sign of an egregious traumatic event. So, I can hope and pray that he's found a safe spot and will do everything he can to get home. Again, thank you so much.
