Poor baby, Sweet Potato must be so scared, cold and hungry out on his own! When a cat goes missing, they can’t easily find their way home using only their scent. You must be proactive and look for them. Look under yours & your neighbor’s bushes & hedges, look for glowing eyes w/flashlight, call him early evening when it’s quiet and they come out from hiding to eat. Posting is important, but please search for him, too. They don’t go far 3-4 houses away, they stay in one place until they are scared off by dogs, coyotes, or loud equipment. Please hang flyers near the area where he went missing, it’ll get the immediate attention from pedestrians and drivers. The challenge is finding him before he runs further way. Good luck finding this adorable little guy-this is coyote country. You’re the one that can bring him home safely. And if you do find him safely, please don’t let him go outside on his own again.🙏🏼 Cats have the intelligence of a 3yo, 3yos should not be able to make their own safety decisions!

Ruth Coddington putting a litter box with their poo in it outside helps as well ❤️

How to find a lost cat. Watch the video, then read the comments below for more helpful hints. https://youtu.be/g2eCoC63B9I Things to do if you've lost a cat: 1. Put out unwashed laundry with your scent near your door. Turn the socks you are wearing inside out and place high (tree, etc.) so your cat smells your scent. 2. Leave garage door or some way back inside open if possible. 3. If you can safely leave a door or window open while you’re home (no other pets), sometimes cats will return on their own. They are usually only a few houses away from home. 4. Check under bushes and cars with flashlight early in the morning and at night. 5. Rattle treat bag or dry kibble at usual feeding time. Kitty is probably close by. 6. Call for kitty at dusk and dawn, and/or usual mealtimes. Spend as much time searching. 7. Have neighbors check garages and sheds. 8. Check all your closets, garage, under beds and furniture, pantry, behind sheds, etc. 9. Make giant neon posters. 10. Cross post to other Lost & Found sites. Post on Nextdoor.com. 11. Check SD Humane sdhumane.org Animal Control, Pawboost, Craigslist (beware of scammers) and other on line pet sites. 12. Ask neighbors if they’ve seen your cat on their ring doorbell. 13. Put water out. 14. Post on Nextdoor. 15. File a Lost Pet Report with the San Diego Humane Society sdhumane.org Keep looking. Don’t give up and don’t depend on others. Good luck! 🌻
