Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Mainly their litter box and sprinkle their used litter around the yard as they'll recognize the smell and it'll deter other animals from coming around. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one and to check their cameras in case they appeared on them to get a sense of direction they could be. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

Please watch the video link from Petco foundation that shows how cats hide and gives info to help with your search. https://www.facebook.com/FrontStreetAnimalShelter/videos/388310901737884/ If you can, leave a door or window cracked open, or garage in case kitty comes back. Cats may return on their own. Put items with your scent outside- you’re dirty sheets or unwashed, clothing. Place these items and fur combed from cat tree or cat bedding and place these items over a humane trap or in a trail to the front door. Place your kitty's bed, cat tree & litter box outside. Indoor cats that get out are usually no further than 3 houses away. Watch video which shows his they hide. Ask neighbors if you can look for your cat on their property such as garages, sheds, or backyards . Don’t forget to look and search any trees in a 1 to 2 block radius to see if your cat can be up there. This happened to a cat owner and she was looking all over and finally found her cat stuck in a tree. Sometimes cats will try to come back inside very late when it's dark and quiet when they feel it's safe to come out. Cats generally stay close by, so look under bushes, cars, up trees.. Most indoor cats go into survival mode and hide. Most will not respond when in "survival mode." Call your cat's name softly, listen for a meow, and look for eyes with a flashlight. They still may not come out if they hear your voice softly since they are hiding and scared. Best time is the middle of the night/ super early morning. Ask your neighbors to check their garages. File a lost pet report with the Humane Society. Check daily online for found stray cats photos on the San Diego Humane Society's website. - [ ] Post on sites: - [ ] Next door - [ ] Pawboost - [ ] Lost & Found Pets of San Diego, CA - [ ] Santee, CA Todays News and Information - [ ] lostmykitty.com You can try to contact Babs fry, she is a recovery specialist who did donate her time for free in the search for lost pets: 619-249-2221. Or cat expert Debby at 619-760-613-9514. She’s an expert at helping find lost cats. (Not 100% sure If she still helps) Post lots of large flyers with big writing in many places. Ask your neighbors to check their Ring app which you know shows videos of what people’s cameras have seen. Put a “Lost Cat” sign on your property. Ask your neighbors. Hope you find your kitty soon. 😻 The unwashed clothing seems to really get them home. Another cat was found underneath a nearby car. Hope these tips work for you. Great video with tips to search for lost indoor cats!!! If you or someone you know loses their cat, this video will help get them home. Lost cat behavior is much different from lost dog behavior, so it's important to have the right strategy. We worked with pet detectives and national experts to create this in-depth, evidence-based video tutorial. Please share it with the world!
