Meredith Kirby Thank you for all of your suggestions. We're going to put out flyers soon. We went out and talked to our neighbors showing his picture. Some recognized Blue Boy because they would see him on our front porch all the time. He was a stray who chose us to be his forever family. We've had him since about 2017. He's very friendly. LOVES people. Not easily spooked. In fact, if he hears strange or odd noises, he usually goes to investigate. I call him, "Nosy O'Grady" because he likes to be in the middle of everything. And he's EXTREMELY vocal. He has this loud, sometimes obnoxious howl/yowl/meow. He likes to go down the driveway that runs to the back of our triplex and yowl his head off. We think because it reverberates off the hardscape and he likes the sound of it. It always cracks us up 🙂 We're doing everything we possibly can to get him back. Because of his friendly nature, we're leaning more and more into the fact that he might have been taken. I'm going to alert our veterinarian to be on the lookout just in case someone brings him in. Thank you and everyone for helping me get our Blue Boy back 💙

If s/he is not accustomed to being outside, s/he is probably close to home. Most indoor only cats don't go more than about a 5 to 6 house radius from where they got out. S/he is probably hunkered down, hiding somewhere close by. Search low and high, go search under cars, in the bushes, at night with a flashlight and look for her/his eyes. Ask your neighbors to look in their garages and sheds. Go out very late at night or very very early morning, stand in one place near home and call her/his name in a calm voice. If you have another pet such as a dog or cat that is friends with the missing cat, bring it along with you and see if they smell or call the missing cat. Be sure to have the dog on a leash. Be sure to have the cat in a carrier. Bring an extra carrier with you. Don't put out the litter box, it will draw predators. You can create a scent station - put out her/his favorite bed, blanket, toy, or your worn clothing. If it is safe to do so, you can also try securing your other pets and leaving a door open a few inches and see if your cat comes back in. If you have confirmed sightings but the cat is skittish, you can rent a humane trap, set & bait it with her/his favorite food and put your used bed sheets over it. NEVER LEAVE THE TRAP UNATTENDED. Be sure to check it every every 30 minutes or so. Post everywhere you can (Pawboost, Lostmykitty, Lost & Found Pets pages for your city & county, Nextdoor, the Buzz page for your city, etc.) and be sure to put up flyers in the neighborhood, and in everyones' mailboxes or under door mats, in a several block radius. Not everyone is on social media. Be sure to include the cross streets, City, time and date the cat went missing on all flyers and posts. This is critical information! People can check their cameras. People may recall seeing the cat in the area around that time/date. Also check your local animal shelters to see if s/he was found and turned in as a stray. Many of them have websites with photos of the cats. If they have a deceased pets page, check there too. There won't be photos. The color, & approximate age will be listed, as well as city & nearest cross streets. Don't give up. A neighbor's cat escaped 30 minutes after he was brought home after being adopted. They did many of these actions, and a few people reported seeing the cat, but when they went to look, no sign of the cat. The cat was found exactly 3 months later, across the street, 5 doors down. He came into the neighbor's garage and she had kept the flyer, so she was able to call my neighbor and the kitty got home safely. Also check your house very thoroughly. If cats aren't feeling well, they often hide. Check every closet, cupboard, drawer, washer, dryer, piece of furniture a cat could crawl into, even spaces that seem unlikely. My friend's cat went missing. She found her 3 days later hiding in a kitchen cupboard behind some pots & pans. I hope you find her/him safe and sound really soon!!

I appreciate everyone's suggestions. Our guy, Blue Boy, was an outdoor cat until he adopted us. Now, he's an indoor/outdoor cat. We're reaching out to our neighbors. Tomorrow, the shelter. We're hoping for the best. Thanks again, everyone. 🙏
