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.

Cats usally stay within 200 feet of the scent of thier home. Your cat maybe close by. (But if the cat is not spayed or neutered they can roam farther while in heat looking for a mate).or if someone has picked them up. Put out a pile of unwashed clothes on your porch. Cats can smell up to 2 miles. Do NOT put the cat’s litter box out on the porch as that attracts other cats and can scare your cat away. Put a safe trap there too. Line it with a towel or shirt with the scent from inside the house. If you don’t have a trap, borrow one. Local spca can lend them out. If you trap a cat that is not yours, just release it. Or check and make sure it is not someone else's lost pet. Notify all vets, shelters and spca and give them a picture. Make flyers with your contact info and picture and give to EVERY house within 1/4 mile. Ask neighbors to check their sheds, garages, etc. in case the cat accidentally got locked inside. Go outside and hunt under EVERYTHING, both during the day and at dusk with a flashlight softly calling your cats name and shaking a bag of treats. Look everywhere - under bushes, cars, porches, sheds…..this means neighbor's stuff too. Sometimes if you sit on your porch or outside in the yard and quietly talk to your cat, as if he or she were there, they will come out of hiding and come up to you. If they do, stay calm and don’t try to grab the cat. Wait until they get close and let the cat come to you. When the cat lets you pet them then you can attempt to pick it up.

Don't put her litter box outside that will invite other cats and predators which will muddle her scent. I've had some experience with this and actually read an articlethat said that the safer way is to put out something with your scent you are her safe place your scent will carry on the air.or her blanket you can change it if you think it has lost its scent

Ask the delivery drivers and mail personnel to keep am eye out check the shelter make sure they are aware of him so if he gets brought in they don't accidentally put him down chk shelters within a 2.5 to 5 mile radius yes he could get that far but if he was taken that's about how far someone usually travels away before dumping. If you had problems or if thier is a particular person in neighborhood who hates cats I'd keep eye out same goes for someone who shows to much attention not liking or thinking it's safe for him to be out . Keep the search fresh in people's minds and check with local vets if he was hit or someone yook him they may might take him in for medical care.

If you can put out something heavy with your scent he will smell it your scent travels further will be more familiar and is a comforting scent which should draw him back home. Put it in a safe but accessible place near the area he disappeared from or usually hangs out in. He will probably be near it hiding in not to long a time. I've read recently in several rescues that this technique works. And the scent will last even if it rains and you can change the item every couple days. Putting Flyers in mail boxes and local vets and businesses doesn't hurt. Ask delivery people and mail personnel if they would take a flyer and keep an eye out they are in neighborhood and might see him. Check shelters and vets let them know your looking and that way if he's brought in they are aware he's lost . Good luck don't be afraid to call every couple of days. If you see him do not run after him he might be scared call to him let him know it's you carry his favorite toy treat or blanket to help reassure him.

Don't give up keep looking best in evening when it's quieter and dont be afraid to keep calling and asking people resend flyers recheck places anyone who may have shown to much intrest in your cat positive or negative in today's world you never know better to cover all bases and check out every and all possibilities i hate to think like that but I didn't and it cost me dearly and I never want anyone to go through that.

I hope you find your baby dont be afraid to pester the shelter and resend flyers remember they can get far from home also given the weather someone could have picked baby up to save it or just taken it before to check with anyone who might have an issue with you because you never know many blessings you could look up a lost pet prayer and pray it I lost a cat once for over 20 days I started the prayer and within 12 days he was found a black cat in the desert for 30 plus days was found on Camp Pendleton what are the odds. People say it was luck I dont but that's me.

Check with neighbors might have got locked inside garage etc, hiding under cars or houses near by. Bring favorite treats / a can of tuna late in the day and call out, kitties hide when scared. Hope you find your fur baby!! Also if you have a double fence check in between, someone found their fur baby and it was too late. 😔 Try putting out clothes with your scent or their bed. A lot of people have found their kittie early am / between 12 and 3. Maybe a good idea if kittie is an indoor / outdoor cat, to keep indoors due to Coyotes on the hunt day and night. **Someone just found a fur baby that was locked inside a shed for days. So do ask neighbors who have sheds.**

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.
