Put their dirty litter box out as well as some dry food and water. They hide usually very close to home and sit tight during the day but come out at night in search of food. After dark, go out with a food bag or treat bag and shake it calling their name, search under decks and in bushes near your home with a flash light which lights up their eyes. And put out smelly fishy food like canned sardines!! That can lure them back. And watch after dark into the night to see if they come back to eat the sardine. Set up camera or ring door bell to watch for them as well.

A worn piece of clothing often works well on your porch as well as inside a garage. Like I mentioned previously. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so it would be good if you focus on a one to two block radius of your location, especially at Dawn dusk and feeding time shaking a bag of cat treats or cat food vigorously to help attract your cats attention if it is close by and also bring a flashlight with you to help catch a glimpse of its eyes if it's near. While you're in this area, make sure you check trees shrubbery inside window wells, especially under decks and porches where cats often hide and ask your neighbors to check their shed and garage where cats off and also hide. Good luck and a quick and safe return....

Flyers are very important. They are best put in a zip gallon bag that is upside down to protect from the elements. It was just recently that both the dog and a cat were reunited by flyers alone since the people that found the animals did not have social media. If you adopted from a rescue, they usually like to know ASAP that a former animal is missing. If your cat has a microchip, it's good to make sure your contact information is up to date so you can be contacted if your cat is found. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so time is of the essence. Make sure your cat is not hiding in the garage in a closet in a dresser, drawer or behind furniture which often happens. I've heard of a few cats returning home the past few years when the owner left their garage open about 5 inches with a worn piece of clothing on the inside of the garage near the opening to help attract the cat if it comes close back to home but not too wide. So you do not attract unwanted animals. It's good if you go check outside on your block around Dawn and dusk with a flashlight looking in shrubbery and under decks and porches to hopefully catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it is close by. Usually cats are scared when they first leave home and might not even respond to you. So the flashlight might come in handy to catch a glimpse of the eyes. It's also good to check your local animal control in person daily because things change very often and best in person. It's also good to check local rescues and shelters in your area daily. Hoping for a quick and safe return.....

🙏❤️If lost close to home ...leave a door slightly open especially at night .... worked for our pet. Found them sleeping on the couch the next morning . Pets that are lost and scared most often will hide in underbrush tickets or shrubs close to home and feel safe to come out at night to find their way home
