When an indoor-only cat gets lost, they will not wander far away, and they are most likely very scared and keep hiding. If your cat is microchipped, immediately report missing and make sure the contact information is correct. It is very important to post and check on nextdoor, petcolove, Facebook local lost and found groups, neighbors by ring, and Pawboost best with phone number. Nextdoor and petcolove are very useful and important for lost and found pets. Check less popular websites like PETFBI and lostmykitty. Physical searching is key: the best time to look for a missing indoor-only cat is late night when everything is quite. Walk around the blocks with a bright flashlight: check under cars, in bushes, up trees and roofs, and storm drainage along the streets, and softly call cat name and shake treats. check your block and all the neighboring blocks, and expand the searching if not found. Hand out flyers to neighbors and ask them to check garages, sheds, backyards, outbuildings. Put your used clothes, cat blanket, food, and water at your front and back door, or crack your garage with the above stuff inside. Set up a trap in your backyard or the place that has a confirmed sighting at night, and cover it with your newly used clothes and cat blanket . Traps need to be monitored all the time.

The only way a lost cat can find its way home is with its nose. They have to use their sense of smell to get home again. Put anything outside that smells like their territory. Put the pajamas you slept in outside because you probably sweated in them. Put out their food your stinky socks your smelly sneakers anything you can think of that the cat will recognize by smell. Cats usually stay within a five house radius of their own home for up to a week or so sleeping in the bushes during the day and coming out at dusk and dawn. Those are good times to take a walk shaking the treat bag calling out but cats also tend to come out and walk around very late at night. Try to keep a door cracked if you can whether it's the garage or whatever or a window cracked so you can hear them if they call out for you. Put this on all of the neighborhood pages as well as lost and found pets sites. Knock on the neighbors doors and make sure they know you're looking for your cat. Good luck PS cats can smell up to one mile away from their own house. Absolutely no litterbox outside or food. It attracts predators is why. Never give up.

**Post flyers w/clear photo of kitty & contact info. Post around neighborhood/intersections & community areas asap. **Post online: neighborhood blogs, classifieds, shelter sites, Craigslist, and all lost pet sites. **Check, small hidden places in home. **Be persistent--never lose hope!! Cats found weeks or months of searching. **Visit shelters every few days, don't just rely on calling **Search at night: cats feel safest between 2am-4am. Use flashlight to spot eye shine, walk neighborhood softly calling for them, check trees/high spaces *"If possible, leave door or window open from which they escaped ** Expand search to 3-5 house radius, check outbuildings, crawl spaces, garages--anywhere kitty may find shelter, and newly renovated spaces. Speak to neighbors & ask permission to search properties **Use humane trap w/stinky food for skittish/shy cats. Consider motion-activated wildlife cameras near home. **NO litter boxes: can attract other wildlife that could be a danger to kitty. **Alert microchip company: verify contact info is correct. Hope you are reunited with your fur baby very soon!
