Poor baby, he must be so scared 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. The challenge is finding him before he runs further way. Please hang flyers near the area where he went missing, it’ll get the immediate attention from pedestrians and drivers. Good luck finding this adorable little guy-this is coyote country. He’ll recognize your voice and your scent, you’re the one that can bring him home safely. Probably not a good idea to let him roam outside unattended. He doesn’t know the dangers from coyotes, dogs, cars can cause him. You could train to walk a cat on a leash in less than an hour and it’s the best way for him to go out safely.

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 (some may apply to your situation): 1. Check all closets, cabinets, under beds and furniture. 2. If you are certain your cat is no where sleeping in your house, 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. 3. If you have a garage, leave the garage door open slightly or some way back inside if possible. 4. 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. 5. Check under bushes and cars with flashlight early in the morning and at night. Look up in the trees. 6. Rattle treat bag or dry kibble. Kitty is probably close by. They usually only travel 3 or 4 houses away. 7. Call for kitty at dusk and dawn, and/or usual mealtimes. Spend as much time searching. 8. Ask your neighbors to check garages and sheds or ask if you can check. 9. Check all your closets, garage, under beds and furniture, pantry, behind sheds, etc. 10. Make giant neon posters. 11. Cross post to other Lost & Found sites. Post on Nextdoor.com. 12. Check SD Humane sdhumane.org Animal Control, Pawboost, Craigslist (beware of scammers) and other on line pet sites. 13. Ask neighbors if they’ve seen your cat on their ring doorbell. 14. Put water out. 15. Post on Nextdoor. 16. 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! 🌻

I pray you find adorable Bombon soon. Tips: 1. Look anywhere he could be hiding or stuck especially at night with a flashlight & smelly food or treats he likes & calmly call his name. Most indoor cats who get outside are found withjn 3-4 houses of their home. 2. If you can do so safely & if your other pets are secured, leave the door or window he got out of open so he can get back in when he returns. 3. Go online to San Diego humane society at sdhumane.org Lost and Found for good tips, & go there in person to see if he’s there. 4. Go online to 24petconnect & search by zip code & lost my pet. 5. Put up Lost Cat flyers & give to neighbors, mail carriers & delivery drivers. 6. Put a Lost Cat poster in your front yard
