Cats do not tend to stray too far from home (usually a few blocks), so search basically everywhere a cat that size can hide, after searching your home from top to bottom to be sure they’re not hiding somewhere. When searching, look in bushes, in trees, under decks, under porches, cars, in window wells, UP if they have claws, and talk to your neighbors as you go, providing your contact info in case they see your cat; post to Petco, Pawboost, PetFBI and file a lost report with MADACC - check all of those sites to see if anyone posted about your cat, and/or turned in your cat - MADACC posts pics of all animals in its care & updates daily - go through all their pics because they are not in any particular order; put out food, water & a few ‘smelly’ articles of your clothing in a sheltered area near your door &/or in live trap - scent can help guide them home. Hoping you get your baby home soon!

Lost cats Search for him using a flashlight. He will be frightened and will hid. He also might not respond to your calling him. A flashlight will reflect in his eyes, allowing you to see him in dark spaces. Use it day and night.

Hope u find your kitty❤️ Put food near your door. Place a baby monitor and/or home security camera near the food so you can hear/see when your cat is there eating and go and get him/her. Check MADACC and other humane societies. Post on Lost Cats of Wisconsin. Keep checking each day! Check under bushes and other places in your yard and neighborhood to see if he is hiding there. Cats become scared and won't come when called. Don't give up. People find their cats months later. My friend found their cat 3 months after it got lost. It was hiding under a bush in the neighborhood, not coming when called and acting feral… very scared! Prayers! Hope u find your kitty❤️ Put food near your door.

My heart goes out to you. I have been through it myself. Here are some tips I've put together over years of working with rescue. * Don't wait for him/her to come home. Yes, he/she may do that, but most cats are scared and go hiding in small places, mostly close to home, a few houses or a block away. (They can go a few miles if chased or desperate, mostly in desperation looking for water and food.) They hide under cars, decks, patios, porches, in sheds, drain pipes, stairs, window wells, garages, bushes, woods, up trees, roofs, etc. Walk around calling their name, shaking a treat bag or favorite toy with bell. Carry smelly food to encourage them if scared and hiding. Listen very, very carefully for low meows. Use a flashlight to catch and reflect their eyes. A good time to go looking is twilight and very early morning/pre-dawn, when it’s quiet and calm so they may feel safer to come out and it’s also feeding time. * Talk to and alert everyone you know and that lives in your vicinity, as well as local businesses. Notify and check with animal control/shelters/humane societies Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) in Milwaukee county) and local veterinary offices. Post on and check lost sites, such as Lost Cats of Wisconsin (file your report there to create your FREE flyer and a post on Pet FBI ), Nextdoor, various community FB pages, Craig's List. Post flyers on corners/posts, in front of your home, and with neighbors, businesses, and anyone in the vicinity. * Put out a carrier or something right outside your door for shelter and safety. Place clothing/blankets with a familiar scent, yours and/or theirs, inside or nearby. * Searching, go out a few blocks, then back close, then out farther and back close. You may miss the cat or the cat may move or may not be meowing. Repeat over and over, looking carefully on the ground for paw prints and for places they might hide. * If you have a garage, leave open with smelly food favorites, water, clothing/blankets with familiar scent, their old litter box in garage. If you have a family dog who is close to the cat, give the dog something with the cat’s scent and then a treat; and then go walking around, watching your dog very carefully. You can even do this with another cat close to home, if you have a cat harness and leash. * Get or borrow a humane live animal trap and set it up with tuna or some other smelly cat food. Be sure to check it frequently. But in extreme weather, do not set it unless you can monitor it constantly and bring in immediately if caught. * And never stop looking! Never give up! Too many give up too soon. It may take weeks or more before you find and/or someone turns in your cat to an animal shelter. Make sure to contact and also GO IN PERSON to your local shelter/humane society (MADACC in Milwaukee county) to look at all of the cats they have there. Don’t rely on just pictures or the person answering the phone to have all updated info on who they have there. They do their best, but you need to check in person on a regular basis.

I've been through this before. I've literally had to crawl into crawl spaces under my building and get one of mine. Once he was looking at me through bushes. A flashlight has helped catch his shadow and eye reflections. Quiet times are the best times to look. They can be disoriented and will not come to you even if you call them by name. So take a favorite noisy toy or treats to shake.

Put a box in your porch with something with your scent like a blanket or some towels, a bowl of water and a catnip toy and go out and call your cat Morning new night and Overnight could be in the garage in the engine of a vehicle in the rafters of the garage at a Neighbor‘s house. Let your neighbors know your cats missing the Police and vet veterinary offices near you. Also let Maddac and the Humane Society know so if someone turns around they know who to call. Keep going outside and calling your baby. Don’t give up 💖

Helpful Tips To Bring Your Cat Home. 🐱🐱🐱 Cats are usually found within a couple of blocks from home! (Or wherever they were lost) •Put some of your unwashed laundry outside your door. •Look around your yard. Bushes, trees, under porches, sheds, garages. •Alert your neighbors! Have them look around their yard, same places as above. •SOCIAL MEDIA. Facebook- Lost &Found Pets groups (in your area/county). Pawboost .com- create a missing pet report. •Print off flyers and post them around your neighborhood. •Search at night, between 3am- 6am. Its the most quiet/calm part of the day. Use a flashlight to see their eyes. •Use your voice in the tone you normally talk to your cat when you are searching. ☆Borrow a trap from your local humane society or rescue. ☆Make sure your cats microchip is registered and updated! There are multiple registries. ☆Check your local County Humane Society daily for stray/lost cats found. **Only in Milwaukee County all found cats must go to MADACC. Hefty list of found cats updated daily. •Most important, Don't give up! You need to help them find their way home!! ❤
