🚨 Please do this Put a dish, not a can of fishy wet food,or tuna in a dish,or small plastic picnic bowl, sitting in a bowl of water (,to prevent bugs) outside near the escape point,if you can, put a minicamera pointing at the food, and if you see your cat go up to the food from your devices later,or the next night, set up a humane trap nearby with the food dish inside and the minicamera attached to the roof. Blink Mini / Blink Mini 2: These plug-in cameras are highly affordable, compact, and ideal for slipping into humane traps. They provide 1080p HD video, night vision, and live viewing via the Blink app.Wyze Cam v3: A favorite for outdoor animal observation, this camera can be pointed out a window, placed in a covered trap, or mounted near feeding stations. It has exceptional low-light capabilities, making it perfect for monitoring nighttime visitors without needing to disturb them.How to Use them in Humane Traps: Because these mini cameras are compact and come with magnetic or adjustable mounts, you can discreetly place them in the top or side of a trap (using zip-ties, velcro, or a magnetic base) to see exactly when an animal enters.Feeding Stations: For outdoor feeding stations, you will need to ensure your home Wi-Fi reaches the area, or you can use an outdoor power adapter and extension cord to keep the camera plugged in and connected.Remote Viewing: Both the Wyze and Blink mobile apps let you check on the camera's live feed at any time, and they offer customizable motion detection alerts . You can rent a trap from your local animal shelter, or a Lewis Rents,or Harbor Freight,put a towel over it

Put smelly wet food outside, hav a hart traps work, check them often. At night shine a flashlight you may catch reflection of his eyes. Check shed, garages, under cars, anyplace he could hide or be stuck. Put up flyers, especially at vet offices. Talk to neighbors, ask if they have security cameras that may catch him walking by. They tend to move early morning and evenings. Put out used litter and fav humans worn clothes, familiar smells help bring them in. If possible, leave a patio or garage door open so he can get in. Contact rescues & county shelters, take a pic. Physically check county shelter often, they are busy. She will be very scared & may go into survival mode, she may not respond to you. Some wait until they're starving to come out for food. Keep food/trap out & check often. If you have another cat, try putting them outside in a SECURE carrier. Their meows may call the lost one in. Pray. Don't give up!

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.

With fireworks, he may have run out of that immediate area. Get signs up everywhere, but beware of scammers claiming to have your cat.

Was he lost from his home or lost away from home? If lost away from home, then you’ll need to go out there late at night 11pm-3am, give or take, with his carrier that he’ll associate with going home. Cover and line the carrier w/ your unwashed clothing/towels, so that it smells like you/home. Bring smelly treats with you: tuna, Churu paste cat treats, pieces of rotisserie chicken. Sit quietly on the ground, speaking softly to him. No sudden moves — let him approach. If he gets spooked, he’ll run off again, and you’ll have to stay there and repeat this. When the time is right, grab him swiftly and hold him firmly against your body - don’t give him a chance to get away - get him quickly into the carrier and make sure it’s secure. Tips if he was lost from home, but some of these can be applied to the situation above: Tips for Lost Cats If you haven’t yet, leave some articles of your unwashed clothing (socks, shoes, t-shirt, a pillowcase) outside for him/her to smell home. Change these out daily to keep the scent fresh. Never leave food or a litter box out, as this attracts coyotes/predators. 📍>>If you can, starting tonight please leave a door or window (even a garage door) cracked open for him/her to return through, especially during the night when it’s quiet out and when cats are most active; this works well, but may take a few nights if they are in hiding. Leave the articles of clothing near the opening. It helps to leave some food out inside the home to help lure him/her in. Don’t give up - cats typically attempt to return home during the night/early morning hours (~1a-5a).<< (keep any other pets safe in a secure room while doing this) Your cat is probably hiding nearby. Go out late at night w/ a flashlight and look for your cat’s eyes. You can try shaking a treat bag if your cat normally responds to that. Check shrubs, under cars, crawl spaces, up in trees and on roof tops (in case your cat has been chased). If you see your cat outside, he/she may be too scared to come to you - sit quietly and have some tuna, Churu paste cat treats and even a wand-type toy to help lure them over to you. Have neighbors check their garages/sheds. Leave out some water, since it’s hot out. Post signs around the neighborhood (even further out at intersections in case kitty has been chased out of the area), since some people are not on social media. *Beware of scam calls/texts/emails/messages/comments. Post on NextDoor, Ring and on local Lost & Found Pets group pages. Check and notify surrounding animal shelters and leave flyers there - also, take flyers to vet offices/ER vets, where someone may take your cat for a chip scan. If microchipped, notify the chip company that your cat is missing. Update/verify contact info if needed. If you have motion sensing cameras, check them to see if kitty has returned to the yard. IF she/he is still young, she/he may respond to sweet, gentle meowing sounds - either do this yourself or download a cat communicator type app to your phone and play sweet, gentle, friendly meowing/purring sounds to lure her/him out of hiding. Best wishes.
