. Get out calling Kitty's name especially early and late when it's quiet. Search high and low with a flashlight. Put up posters with number large enough to be seen while driving. And post on next door.

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. NO LITTER BOX OR FOOD. 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.

Kitties or Doggies usually don't go far at first. Your fur baby needs *YOU* to do these things to find her/him! BE PROACTIVE!! Kitties or Doggies without a food/water source and shelter will likely continue moving until they find them. You need to attract her/him back home. Pets that are lost from your home are very often only within a few houses or buildings to start. Note, If they are lost away from home (such as from a hotel, grooming salon or rest stop) they may circle back to the spot that they were lost from – so do not leave that area. Keep replenishing a feeding station set up with fresh water and smelly food to attract, like warm tuna. Best to put in view of a camera so you can see if kitty or doggie eats the food. If you have a garage, prop it open 6 inches with smelly food trailed to the inside. Put some smelly items inside your garage – cat bed, your socks, pillowcases and contents from your vacuum cleaner bag. Put scent items outside: some of her/his toys and bedding, along with your DIRTY laundry (socks, pillowcases). Empty your vacuum cleaner bag outside. Focus on the door or window where she escaped. If you have another animal, put them on a leash and walk them around your property and around your apartment house or block. For cats - Check in trees. When dark out, look for her/his eyes with a flashlight under bushes, decks and other safe hiding spots. They hunker down, but will come out more between DUSK and DAWN when it is quiet. Use a familiar noise, like shaking a treat bag, to attract. Speak quietly and softly. Ask your neighbors to check their sheds and garages. Open your garage door slightly and put her bed and some food in there. Put up a ring doorbell and security cameras and see if she triggers it. For missing Cats, put out a humane trap with food in it and see if she goes inside of the trap (check the trap very often (once an hour or so) as you don’t want her to be trapped in the elements. If your kitty or doggie is chipped, contact the Chip company and make sure your information is up to date. Also report the kitty as missing. This way if he/she is scanned by a vet, they will contact you. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Make sure neighbors in a minimum two block radius have your contact info with kitty's or doggie’s pic, as most seeing your social media posts don't live right around you. Ask them to check their cameras, sheds, garages, window wells and under decks. FLYER, FLYER, FLYER It's the best tool you've got! People don't pay attention to lose cats like they do dogs. Most people that see your social media posts don't live right by your home, so flyers are VERY IMPORTANT to make everyone that lives directly around you are aware. If someone picks kitty or doggie up, they may not know who she/he belongs to. You need as many eyes looking as possible. *500 PAIRS OF EYES LOOKING IS BETTER THAN ONE* Bright colors, simple BOLD letters, with your number and a big pic of your kitty or doggie. Hang upside down in sheet protectors or gallon ziploc bags on neon posterboard for maximum attention. Other ideas: 1. Put a sign up in your front yard. If the sign is up, neighbors and people passing by know she/he is still missing. 2. Give one to the local mail carriers. 3. Put on your car window. 4. Driveway drops: a mini flyer (print 4 on one letter size piece of neon paper) in a ziploc bag with a rock for weight. Drive and toss on to driveways like a newspaper. 5. Pass out the mini flyer to anyone out walking their dogs, pushing strollers, etc. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Contact the microchip company so kitty or doggie will be flagged as lost. Make sure the chip is registered properly to you (ie. not where kitty or doggie was adopted from - or where chip was implanted) and your contact info is current. Alert surrounding PDs, Animal Controls, shelters and vets. Go take flyers to all of them - and walk through the shelters to check if your kitty is there. Follow up every few days. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Register kitty or doggie on Petfbi(which is monitored by actual humans). Alert residents about your lost kitty, and to please check their cameras through: 1. RING Neighbors App 2. Nextdoor App 3. Citizens App 4. Local neighborhood watch and lost pet pages/groups on Facebook, Craigslist, Petco Lost Love, Pawboost and Nextdoor. If in Northern Colorado, post to Lovelanders and Fort Collins Word of Mouth. 5. Post your info on Pawguide app. You can download it to make flyers and share your pet’s info. 6. Check 24petconnect daily and change the search for 35 miles. 7. Post on the sniffandfound app. Ring doorbell app is free and called “Neighbors” and you do not need to own the doorbell to use it. People post sightings of loose cats and dogs on their daily, as well as Lost and Found. Also go door-to-door asking neighbors to check their home security camera footage because THERES OTHER SECURITY COMPANIES, if your pet has been spotted, you’ll know which direction the pets going and maybe your pet is already posted as found on there. When you load the app and join the community, it’s pretty large make sure your contact author and comments are turned on. Please list streets missing from. And in the settings, there’s a map to widen OR CHANGE your search area-DOESNT HAVE TO BE WHERE YOU LIVE. Praying that helps “ On all posts, list: 1. The town you live in and the cross streets near you. 2. Pics of your kitty or doggie. 3. Phone number - and ask people to contact you directly via call or text with any info so you don't miss anything. Your info should be brief and specific, as people are scrolling through quickly. (ie LOST CAT or LOST DOG: Town/cross streets... female/male, coloring, if chipped, phone number, etc.) Ask everyone to take picture or video of any kitty or doggie they think might be her/him and send it to you. This can help confirm if it is or isn't your kitty. If it is, flyers need to be hung in the area of the sighting, especially if new from where she/he was seen prior. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • For kitties only - If you need to trap your kitty to secure her/him, traps CANNOT be left unattended. For the safety of your kitty and other animals, it must be monitored at ALL times. Be careful with scammers They may contact you saying they have your kitty or doggie and ask for verification codes

Please go out at night after traffic noise has down, shine flash light under bushes and things cat can hide under and also in trees. Check out any green spots looking back at you. Call cat and wait for a meow back. CRITICAL INCASE CAT IS TRAPPED SOMEWHERE; start from where cat went missing and workout for a radius of 2 miles, knock on doors and ask in person if they will check sheds, garages, window wells, and other outside buildings for cat. ALSO, put cats bed or an old pair of your tennis shoes to help cat know where your porch is. NOT, a litter box that will attract other animals that may keep your cat away. Scared cats usually don't travel far from where they go missing and will wait for YOU to come find them. Also stop by local shelters and rescues everyother day to see if cat has been. turned in. GOOD LUCK
