Missing Cats post Here are some tips that may help! - [ ] Look at night and early morning (and often as you can of course) and use a strong flashlight and look for the glow of the eyes. They may be under cars, or bushes, but looking for the glow of the eyes will help. When you do look, shake that treat bag and call out to them loudly and often, but walk slow and look behind you often in case they do hear you and are trying to catch up to you. Ask close by neighbors to check their security cameras and ask them to take a look in their backyards/ garages, most cats won’t be too far and this is the best bet! Knock on the door and personally ask (bring a buddy) but if they don’t answer, leave a flash card asking them to check their backyards/cameras with your contact number ready. I would put up flyers but I am a huge believer in the flash card at the door step. That way it really does “ask” those people to double check their yards. If you have a garage, leave it cracked enough for a cat only (not too high open), and bring out some dirty laundry/used blankets that have your smell on them and place near the opening of the door so the kitty may smell their way back. I personally don’t like to leave food because if they do just eat, they may leave again. So skip the food for now if you want, only leave out the dirty clothes bin. Check Washoe County if they are not chipped. If they are chipped, they’ll reach out to you instantly! Post on Nextdoor app (again asking nearby neighbors to check their yards! I know I keep saying this, but asking people straight up to look, is better than hoping they do just by seeing the poster..). And check the neighborhood OFTEN ! You cannot expect kitty to just know where to come back to. Unfortunately that’s a common misconception and it just don’t work like that, they are LOST and they need you to FIND THEM. Lastly, DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE! It may be hard, and hopeless as the days go on, but seriously, don’t give up ! They may be in someone’s backyard a block away eating the door food they leave out for their pets, or some old lady who doesn’t have social media may have them thinking it’s a friendly stray. No. Get out , and don’t give up! I’ve know people who’s cat went missing for MONTHS, just to drive down a road near their house and see their cat in a random yard only blocks away, and one story where the neighbor four houses down had the cat the whole time but never saw the posters ! Please don’t give up! Ask friends and neighbors for help. Don’t care if it seems embarrassing or awkward going around the neighborhood calling for your cat, people will understand and not think you’re weird, do not care what people think when it comes to trying to find your cat! And if you think a pet trap may help, then reach out to lots of rescue groups and ask to borrow one (they are useful if you know the cat is close by but hard to physically catch or if they are seen nearby and may be hungry ), otherwise, they are not very helpful in my opinion. If the cat has been spotted, then using a trap with smelly wet food may be useful, but that is the only time I think leaving food out may help. Good luck! You got this, stay strong! ❤️ 🐾
