General Information: Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

Time is of the essence. Cats don’t go far from home. Keep the door or window the kitty left from open 24/7 so they can return, usually very late at night. If unable to do that then crack your garage door open enough for her to get in, 24/7. Knock on neighbors doors with a picture letting them know she got out and ask them to keep an eye out, check Ring cameras for any sighting, post as many flyers as possible with kitty’s picture in your and surrounding neighborhoods. Walk late at night when it’s quiet with a flashlight, looking under every shrub for their shining eyes, softly call the kitty’s name and shake their food. Post on Ring, Nextdoor and check with shelters. Don’t give up. 💕

I’m so sorry your fur baby is missing. I’m posting a few tips to to help you find him, and I realize that perhaps you’ve already tried some of them. (But hopefully there’s still a point or two you’ll find helpful.) Please put his bed/blanket or an unwashed article of your clothing outside, the scent will help him find his way home. (Experienced rescues advise not to use soiled cat litter as it can attract predators and aggressive cats.) If he’s an indoor only kitty, he’s probably close but hiding. Check under the house, porches, and in sheds and garages, anywhere he may be trapped. Ask your neighbors to do the same. Ask them, too, to check their Ring cameras. If he’s not home by tonight, search under bushes and shrubs with a flashlight, his eyes will reflect the light and you'll be able to see him. Best time to search is late night and early morning when it’s most quiet outside. Call his name softly and gently shake a treat bag. Also, leave open an entrance to your home in case he comes home late at night. Post on Pawboost and Nextdoor, excellent additional resources that can assist you. If you can, put up fliers throughout your neighborhood and report him as missing to local vets. Finally, be sure to file a lost kitty report with your county shelter, Bonnie Hays Shelter 503-846-7041. Send a photo to them, if possible. Last but not least, beware of lost pet scams. They appear to be on the increase these days. All my best wishes for a speedy reunion.
