Hopefully some of these tips will help bring your little fur baby home safe 🙏🤞 Leave your garage door open (if you have one) just enough that only he can fit through. Try to leave open the door or window he got out of if you can. If not check often around your residence. Look under sheds and decks if you have them and get neighbors to do the same. Ask neighbors to also check in their backyard and their garage and check cameras if they have them. Go out at night and in the daytime and shake dry food in a container and call his name. If you have a camera that you can put out, do that maybe in the front or backyard. Also look in bushes at night with a flashlight. Also, try putting some of your dirty laundry by the front door? Try KFC or rotisserie chicken with no bones. If you have neighbors that have cameras, maybe ask them to check them to see if he has been spotted. Put up fliers as everyone is not on social media I hope he is found safe soon. 🤞🙏

Please feel free to copy / paste / share this advice to help find a lost kitty: Distribute flyers- knock on neighbors’ doors and hand them out, and post them at intersections as well as any businesses close by. Flyers generate sightings. The more eyes out, the better. Mini flyers are also a great idea- LOST PET, a pic of your pet and phone number, printed 9 to a page and cut. Tape near doors of neighbors not at home. Many people save these on their fridge and call with sightings -Ask neighbors to check their yards, garages, sheds, under decks and any possible hiding spots. (It’s always best if they let you look.) The majority of people (about 85% rough guess) are kind and want to help. Some people can be indifferent or jerks. Please don’t let them get to you. Most successful reunions come from talking to neighbors vs. posting online- but please do both! -Post on Nextdoor, PawBoost and the local lost and found pet pages on Facebook. Post on Ring app as well. You don’t need a Ring camera to have an account and neighbors frequently post found pets and sightings. ***BEWARE OF SCAMMERS! Ask them to text you a pic of the cat they see. Beware of comments on social media that recommend pet search services on instagram, these are scams. Some will even ask for a code sent to your phone- never give this out -There are reputable pet detective services in many areas that use tracking dogs trained to find cats with great success rates. Consider using one near you. -Indoor cats usually stay within a one mile radius from home, though they can travel further. The majority are found within a 5 house radius. Outdoor cats tend to travel further, usually within a 17 house radius. Most indoor cats are found very close to home, as in a few houses away or a street over. They are usually found after getting sightings and with trapping. Some come home on their own, usually in the overnight hours. -Start searching at home, thoroughly search inside your home unless you know kitty escaped, check any potential hiding spots in your yard & garage. Inside and under sheds and decks. Walk your neighborhood. Check under bushes, up trees and rooftops. Under cars, nearby storm drains, shine a high powered flashlight into bushes and trees and look for reflecting eyes. They are masters at hiding and can squeeze into the smallest spaces. They usually will try to return home between 10 PM and 5 AM, most are on the move at dusk / dawn. They can often respond at dusk/ just after dark or at dinner time to the pop of a can. Some cats stay hidden for weeks traveling at night. -Don’t yell out calling for your cat or sound loud or nervous, keep your voice calm. Having a normal chat on the phone while sitting outside has worked to help draw kitty out if nearby **Do NOT put a litter box outside. It can attract feral cats that scare kitty away, or worse-coyotes and other predators. Litter has actually been used by hunters to lure coyotes 😳 A cat will be attracted by scent of his home / family, but a coyote won’t. Instead, put dirty laundry / bedding of your family outside on your porch or near the door, or place in the garage with the door cracked open a few inches. Continue to replace daily. -Is your kitty spayed / neutered? If not, they can become escape artists and bolt outside. They tend to travel further looking for a date, especially males. When you get your baby back, please get them spayed / neutered asap. Spaying / neutering is kind and not only prevents adding more orphaned cats out on the streets, but it tends to curb your cat’s desire to roam. -Check nearby shelters and online listings & stray intakes, but go to the shelters in person at least every 3 days. They’re not always up to date on their postings. -If microchipped, report lost to the chip company and make sure your contact info is updated

. 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!🍀
