Please secure him/her in a carrier or something he/she can’t escape from. If you can’t grab him try luring him with food. Please do not leave it outside. Put in a bathroom or bat temporarily. Post on the Citizen App and take to any shelter, Vet, emergency vet, or police station and have scanned for a microchip The owner might not be on social media. Make sure anyone trying to claim the animal has proof of vet records, photos, and can identify any special markings. Don’t give away too much information about the animal so that the owners can ID him/her. There are a lot of cruel people out there. If owners are found be sure they want the animal so he/she doesn’t wind back up on the streets. Thank you for trying to help. 🐾LA

Call this shelter list daily and post fliers as they're surprisingly successful in recovering lost pets. Also post on PetFBI, facebook, Pawboost, Petco lost pets, and call your local police department via the non-emergency number in case someone reported having found your pet. Also put out some of the pet's favorite food, treats, milk, and/or open can of tuna or salmon on the front and back porches as they sniff out fish and milk from afar. Then go to all of your own and neighbors bushes because small pets love to hide behind shrubs that line people's homes. Also look under all decks where they might go when scared and seeking shelter. Finally, good luck, you are both in my prayers.
