When my cat was missing I made flyers and put them on every door in the neighborhood. She was hiding in a neighbors backyard scared. Your kitty may be in a neighbors house

A lot of cats and dogs find themselves without owners when their elderly owners pass-away. I found my neighbors dog alone in the house after he passed. His kids didn't want it and just left the thing there to die. I found him a good home after I was able to get one of the lowlife kids to let me in to retrieve him. Later, in 07 after my aunt passed, my uncle was to devastated to take care of his dog. His son just let do what it wanted and when Bob passed, his son just kicked it outside and left it to find a new home. I didn't find out about it until weeks later. I could not find him. I hope he found a nice home. People don't care about YOUR pets when you pass. YOU NEED to take action to ensure they are safe in the event you kick off. Just saying the sad part out loud.

Look at night with a flashlight while calling his name. Look especially under bushes and in neighbors yards garages and sheds. Look up in trees, Leave something outside with his scent on it like his bedding. Leave something outside with your scent on it like an unwashed piece of clothing. Leave out smelly cat food. Hang signs with his photo. Call and visit local shelters and veterinary offices. Good luck!🍀

PLEASE EDIT the top of your post to include the cross streets. That road/street covers a great deal of ground. So, more specific details about the location are needed to get the help others can provide. Once you've confirmed he's not hiding deep inside somewhere... ⚠️ Time is of the essence so getting outside ASAP is crucial.(Seriously. Like now.) ➡️ Go out OFTEN, several times, at various times of day. 🌙 Especially during the quiet hours late at night. Cats often venture out between dusk and dawn/early morning. 🔶️ BUT ANYTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME TO LOOK! ❗️ ➡️ STAY OUT for as long as you can each time. Search in ALL directions outward, in a radius, from your home. EXPAND your search area each time, rechecking the areas as you go along. 🐈 Calmly call for or talk to him; so he doesn't hear the anxiety in your voice and stay hidden. 🟡 Use a flashlight to check for eye shine. ↪️ Look under and inside EVERYTHING. Under decks, in sheds or garages,etc. 🍤 Bring treats, tuna, toys, or a friend. 🗣 Record any other pet or favorite family to play while you search. ☑️ Pause. Listen a lot. And listen long. ❇️ Make easy to read flyers to hand out to your neighbors and area businesses, etc. 🏘 Go door to door. Talk to EVERYONE. Leave a flyer with them and on EVERY door. Be sure to ask them to check security footage. 👀 ✴️ Make BIG BRIGHT posters with a large photo and easy to read. Keep it simple and straight to the point. Use bold print for key points. (Passersby may only have a chance to glance at it.) ✴️ Put posters in your common area if possible and several around your area.(Remember their locations to remove, for after he's home.) 💦 Put out water near home(and food only if monitored) 🚫 But please avoid setting out a litterbox, as they tend to attract predators and other unwelcome visitors that may deter kitty's desire to come near. 🐾️ Hang out his bedding and some of your unwashed items for a scent trail. 🐾 Create a trail with cut up (dirty towel) pieces low to the ground (in bushes works best) leading towards home. ✅️ Post on Nextdoor, Pawboost, Petco, Craigslist, and the county website. ✅️ Check Facebook for your neighborhood/area's chat group (s), there may be several. Join and post there. ⚠️ Be scammer savvy. ✅️ Alert local veterinarians and pet related establishments nearby. 💟 Being outside is key. So please spend as much time as possible out in you yard and that area. 🏠 If possible, please leave a way for him to get back inside. 🔊 Double check that the microchip has your current information. ✔️Carefully consider and research the use of a live trap. 😽 Don't give up. Recently a kitty was found & reunited 44 days later! Prayers for your kitty's safe return.🐈‍⬛ #tabbycat
