Beautiful Cat. If chipped, be sure to inform the chip company that kitty is lost!...hope these suggestions help:. Many lost cats have been found using the suggestions from both these websites. Please take the time to read through the sites, it might bring you your kitty! Please visit the website of: communitycatcoalitionwa.org....this is a professional rescue site that offers valuable information about finding lost cats. Go to the main menu for the drop down box and open 2 different tabs: Finding Lost Cats and Happy Endings for this info.this www.missinganimalresponse.com....this also is a professional rescue site that offers valuable information about finding lost cats. Again, go to the main menu for appropriate tabs to open... Be sure to open and read Lost Cat Behavior as this has unusual data about lost cat behavior that you wouldn't guess and may assist your search.....especially for indoor only cats! πŸ’™Additionally, file a Lost Cat report with your local county humane society ( often done online) as found cats can be surrendered there, reported as found there or chip checked there!πŸ’™ in Thurston County its petcolovelost.org ❀And check your local county humane society for their books of " found" or " reported seen" cats that are either at the shelter or at the finders' home. Many local shelters are full and ask the finders to hold the found cats. There will be photos and contact information!❀ Another site to file you cat as lost is phshelter.com....and ....lostmykitty.com....which cross references shelters' surrendered, found cats! Best wishesπŸ˜ΏπŸ’– PS...most indoor only cats are pretty scared of being outside and can be probably pretty close by! Go out at night with a flashlight and look under the house, deck, cars, shrubs and bushes, in outbuildings, up in trees and in all small crawlspaces. Her eyes will shine in the dark! During the day, just walk around the property and converse with her like you're talking to a baby ( in that baby talk voice)....doesn't matter what you say....just talk.....scaredy cats often don't respond to their names but will respond to your voice in talk! Also post on your local NEXTDOOR APP. page and local PAWBOOST APP. page which gets the most lost and found post views! PS...50% of folks don't use social media! Go to your neighborhood, knock on doors, leave your name and number and show photos! Keep checking the shelters every other day. Surrenders are usually held for 3 days before being put up for adoption. Another tip: make Lost Cat posters,with photo, put them onto bright colored card stock ( dollar store) with a contact#, put into clear plastic bags or tape clear plastic or Saran Wrap to it and staple to telephone polls near your areas. Best wishes in finding your kitty.πŸ˜” Also : petFBI.org PS....Beware of posts suggesting "business " that offer pet finding/tracking services originating from Instagram, Twitter or unnamed phone numbers. They are well known scams and will take your money and mine your personal data including banking/credit cards. 3Retrievers.com is one of the only legit pet finder organizations that I'm aware is real.

LOST CAT OPEN DOOR Scatter the contents of your hoover bag around the outside boundary of your home - they can scent their way home from miles away, using the familiar smell of your home. If putting out clothing make sure that it hasn’t been washed so that it smells of β€œyou”. Going out late at night/ early morning when it is quieter and less noise distraction around will make it easier for you to hear each other’s calls. If you are calling for him make sure you do this as you walk towards your home not away from it so that if he follows the direction of your voice you’re leading him home, not further away. Also ask any neighbours to check their sheds/ outbuildings in case he’s been inquisitive and got trapped inside somewhere. If he is an indoor cat he is likely scared and hiding somewhere very close by - look under/behind any items/objects that he may be seeking shelter from - under bushes, behind bins etc. when searching at night take a torch - the light from its beam will reflect in his eyes and you will be able to spot him even if he doesn’t respond to your calls. Put up posters in all surrounding streets and inform the microchip company that he is missing.Put out water, and some of YOUR dirty clothes (dirty socks are nice and stinky)/blankets (dry in dryer first to enhance smell). Depending on the weather, you might want to put out a plastic tub with straw for shelter. Go out every morning and evening walking (folks seem successful around 10:30 p.m., but don't go alone) with food/treats in bowl rattling it, calling your cats name. Cats are often hiding within a 5-house radius. Do NOT give up. There was a cat a week or so ago, they went out every night for 5 nights, finally on the 5th night, they heard it's meow, it was trapped in a neighbor's shed. Another was hiding in a tree from the neighbor's dogs. Check buildings, bushes, trees, and storm drains around your house. Also in the house/garage, keep all doors/closets OPEN in case it's hiding in the house. If you can, leave door cracked open from which cat would most likely sneak back in during the night. If desperate, sprinkle your urine near the cracked door as stronger scent guidance. Worked for us!
