Most indoor only cats are found within 2.5 houses of the house they escaped from. Indoor only cats will be hiding out during the day and typically come out at night when it's dark and quiet as they feel more safe. The best thing to do is to talk to neighbors during the day to see if they have seen your cat. Do not rely on social media. The best way to find your cat is on foot by talking to people during the day and looking outside very LATE at night. See if your neighbors can leave their garages and sheds open for a few hours. If your cat is inside, your cat may not come out right away once the doors are opened. This is because when cats are in survival mode, they typically do not act normal. You can also print mini flyers and attach them to your neighbors' doors if they are not home. You can use painter's tape so that it is easy for the homeowner to remove. Offer a reward even if it's a small amount. It incentivizes people & neighborhood kids to look. Post neon signs/posters. Talk to your mail carrier. Post on Nextdoor & Ring App. It alerts neighbors in a 2-3 mile radius. Please make sure that your cat has a way to get back into your house 24/7. You want to leave open a garage door (including the door that goes from the garage into the house) sliding glass door, or window that they exited from as well as some of your recently worn clothing and/or shoes outside of the entry way. Your scent will attract your cat back to you. ***Do NOT put your cat's litter box outside as it can attract predators.*** It's VERY important that you look for your cat late at night. Between 11pm to 5am are ideal times to find a missing indoor only cat. 3 AM is the best time to find a cat as this is the time they become most active and responsive. Shake a bag of their favorite treats while CALMLY talking (in a normal voice) to your cat. Make sure that you pause after calling to see if you can hear your cat meowing. Use a flashlight and look for the glow of their eyes. Check up trees as well. Indoor only cats are very frightened outdoors and will only come out when they feel safe. You may have to trap your cat as they will be in survival mode (sometimes they start acting a bit feral) and will not act the same way that they do in the house. This website below ⬇️ has fantastic tips for locating missing cats from a woman experienced in cat rescue as well as templates for missing cat flyers. 🐱 ✅Go to top of page where it says, "Click here for Important Tips on how to find your Lost Cat." www.happycatlady.com Best wishes! 🙏

Beautiful Cat. If chipped, be sure to inform the chip company that kitty is lost!...hope these suggestions help:. Many lost cats have been found using the suggestions from both these websites. Please take the time to read through the sites, it might bring you your kitty! Please visit the website of: communitycatcoalitionwa.org....this is a professional rescue site that offers valuable information about finding lost cats. Go to the main menu for the drop down box and open 2 different tabs: Finding Lost Cats and Happy Endings for this info.this www.missinganimalresponse.com....this also is a professional rescue site that offers valuable information about finding lost cats. Again, go to the main menu for appropriate tabs to open... Be sure to open and read Lost Cat Behavior as this has unusual data about lost cat behavior that you wouldn't guess and may assist your search.....especially for indoor only cats! 💙Additionally, file a Lost Cat report with your local county humane society ( often done online) as found cats can be surrendered there, reported as found there or chip checked there!💙 in Thurston County its petcolovelost.org ❤And check your local county humane society for their books of " found" or " reported seen" cats that are either at the shelter or at the finders' home. Many local shelters are full and ask the finders to hold the found cats. There will be photos and contact information!❤ Another site to file you cat as lost is phshelter.com....and ....lostmykitty.com....which cross references shelters' surrendered, found cats! Best wishes😿💖 PS...most indoor only cats are pretty scared of being outside and can be probably pretty close by! Go out at night with a flashlight and look under the house, deck, cars, shrubs and bushes, in outbuildings, up in trees and in all small crawlspaces. Her eyes will shine in the dark! During the day, just walk around the property and converse with her like you're talking to a baby ( in that baby talk voice)....doesn't matter what you say....just talk.....scaredy cats often don't respond to their names but will respond to your voice in talk! Also post on your local NEXTDOOR APP. page and local PAWBOOST APP. page which gets the most lost and found post views! PS...50% of folks don't use social media! Go to your neighborhood, knock on doors, leave your name and number and show photos! Keep checking the shelters every other day. Surrenders are usually held for 3 days before being put up for adoption. Another tip: make Lost Cat posters,with photo, put them onto bright colored card stock ( dollar store) with a contact#, put into clear plastic bags or tape clear plastic or Saran Wrap to it and staple to telephone polls near your areas. Best wishes in finding your kitty.😔 Also : petFBI.org PS....Beware of posts suggesting "business " that offer pet finding/tracking services originating from Instagram, Twitter or unnamed phone numbers. They are well known scams and will take your money and mine your personal data including banking/credit cards. 3Retrievers.com is one of the only legit pet finder organizations that I'm aware is real.
