Here are a few things you can try. Cats usually don’t go far. They just hide well. Cats are very active at dusk and dawn. So first of all you can go out and call for him. You can put his food/water, and lots of cat nip outside your house to help draw him back. Also, put your cat's bedding that has your cat's scent on it outside to attract your cat back to your home. Also putting your own unwashed clothes or bedding out . Cats run on scent and this is highly effective in luring your cat back home .PetMD backs this up, can help lure the cat back home, as it's a comfortable and familiar smell. Shake the treat/food container outside. Check garages, especially under porches and decks,dense bushes, etc. Get one of those strong flashlights they will catch a cat's reflective eyes two blocks away and save you tons of time!!! Do not leave the food out overnight as it will attract other animals that can scare the kitty away. Go to your neighbors and let them know your kitty got out and give them your contact info. Walk your neighborhood and talk to people as you can. Take a flyer TO your local vets office and shelter a face is better than a thousand words of description and check every couple of days in person if possible Sometimes it can take weeks or months to find your kitty. Also post with Pawboost and Sam the Parrot about your missing cat. Many times cats are found within a couple hundred feet of their homes. Post fliers around your neighborhood with your phone number that people can call day or night. And talk to your mail carrier. They see lots of animals. If they see a strange kitty around, they may recognize it as yours. Make sure you call local animal shelters, etc Best time to look is between 1-6AM Get a humane trap ASAP! This it's the best chance at retrieving your cat. Line it with newspaper. The ONLY food you leave out should be in that trap. Do not leave the trap set for long periods of time unattended, especially overnight. The most importantly do not give up hope! Open your garage door a little. Don’t put the litter box out. 🙏🏻Also take a flashlight out at night and look in and under things to see if you can see the kitty’s eyes.

Cats don't usually go far. Keep checking under nearby porches, decks, shrubs and in garages and sheds. Keep putting his food, water, and something with his scent on it outside your door to help him find his way back. Put canned tuna/fishy cat food outside your door in late afternoon/early evening. The fishy canned food is important because they can smell it from farther away. At this point, I would recommend setting a humane trap to catch him. My cat was lost for seven weeks last summer and I finally got him back when I switched the food location from my back door to my front door, I started putting fishy canned food on my front porch and I set a humane trap on my front porch. I caught him almost immediately after setting the trap. Cats become so fearful when they are outside, so the trap can be what finally works. I believe you can borrow one from Humane Ohio on Alexis Road or you can order one online. Also talk to the people who work at Wolcott House to see if they have seen him and to ask them to keep a lookout for him. Let your neighbors and mail carrier know that he's missing. Put flyers up in the area. Post on Maumee Community Facebook page. Sending prayers for sweet Rocky to be safe and home very soon. Don't give up!
