Try these helpful hints in finding your pet: Post huge neon signs. Post on Craigslist lost and found and constantly check it to make sure your pet is not listed on the site for sale or rehoming etc. Post on Nextdoor.com and all neighborhood/neighboring sites. Check all sites in every borough because many times a pet can be found and transported. The same goes for all shelters and vets offices. Tie your shirt or something scented to where your pet last was/place food down as well. Walk around waving your shirt or something scented of yours and your pets so he/she will detect it. Check bushes, allee ways while calling out his/her name. Especially in the morning and evening time. For cats, anchovies work well to attract them back. Best of luck to you!

Remember, scent items are very important. And go out and calmly talk and call him/her like you normally would. They sense distress in your voice and will not come or respond so be calm. Also look up in trees under porches/decks, look at night with a flashlight as their eyes glow in the light. If possible set up cameras. She/he wants to come back, but is just scared and needs guidance. Cats hunker down when they are afraid so try to help him/her find their way back. They will try to come back in the way they got out so keep a point of entry open if at all possible. Good luck 🤞🙏

Make a shelter for him with some clothes with your scent on them as well as some smelly food like sardines in it. If possible, keep the door that he got out if open slightly and if that doesn't work I used Kelly Brach from Professional Pet Trackers to help find my cat that was missing for 2 weeks. She has 3 highly trained dogs that track the cat's scent. Her dog pinpointed the location and we set traps and 3 days later caught the cat. This cat was a Foster and not familiar or bonded with us. He was caught in the bushes 3 houses away from us and that was exactly where the dog led us. I would not have believed it unless I saw it myself. So important to know about this service.
