o everyone, im new to facebook & replied to nothing apparently. Buddy was feral a couple years ago. Long story short, over the course of a year he began trusting me enought to come into my apt, eat, sleep, play, etc However i felt more like a trick stop to him. He would stay the night sometimes and i never went more than 4-5 days without seeing him. So its a slightly diff situation then if he were and indoor cat.

Here are some tips that may be helpful in locating your lost Kitty Hero. Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats and or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well, they never go far they go into survival mode and hide in silence they will not always respond to This is the time they become most active and responsive. Place some dirty socks and pillowcases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage place the items near the garage door anHd crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take weeks to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flash light to see the glow of his eyes. Survival mode last 5 to 14 days. Once their hunger gets to a maximum, they snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. Make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Most people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful.

Go out early AM and late PM to look for him. He's probably still close by

Lost Cat Tips * The most important thing is to start the search IMMEDIATELY. Keep in mind that cats tend to stay close to home. *Post pictures on Nextdoor dot com or app. It's a neighborhood app and posts to everybody in your ZIP code immediate neighborhood. * Report your cat as lost via the Animal Foundation website animal foundation dot com. *Post pictures of your baby on pawboost dot com, petharbor dot com and petfbi dot org. * Place your cat's tree house or bed/blanket that it sleeps on outside of your home. The scent will help guide him back or hang clothing that you have worn outside. *Google vets near you. 5-10 mile radius. Many people will take a cat to a vet to check for a microchip check & some vets will take possession of the animal or, have contact info for the person that found the cat. You can send a blanket email to all of them with pics and your contact info * Set food and water out for your cat, near the house's door unless you feel it might draw other predators. * Tell all of your neighbors. Ideally, print flyers with a clear color photo of your cat and words. CVS has a cell or PC site where you can load your pictures from either and then they will be ready in 1 hour. You can even have little postcards for posters made through CVS. On posters put "LOST CAT," and identifying info Provide several phone numbers to contact in case of sightings. * Contact your local shelter, e.g. The Animal Foundation (formerly Lied’s), NSPCA (formerly Dewey) and the Henderson shelter. * Walk around at all times of the day & night, calling their name, rattling favorite toys or treats.etc * If the kitty was shy, you may need to set humane traps. Keep in mind that most cats, when they get out of their home and familiar territory, become terribly frightened. More likely than not, your cat has found a safe place to hide and will stay there until the world quiets down. Many outdoor cats are most active in the middle of the night because the fewest people are out and about. Most of all, do not give up! Cats can return home within hours. They WANT to come home, so don't lose hope. 🐱🙏🏻❤️
