Other tips from a fellow foster/trapper/volunteer with an animal rescue group: - [ ] Look on Pawboost.com to see if someone posted a FOUND listing. If not, - [ ] Create a free posting of your kitty on Pawboost.com with good photos and as much information as you have about where/when s/he went missing. They’ll create a proxy email for you to avoid spammers/phishers. - [ ] Create free flyers from Pawboost that you can print and post around your neighborhood. - [ ] Contact Fairfax (petresourcecenter@fairfaxcounty.gov) and Loudoun county animal shelters ((703) 777-0406) as well in case someone has turned him/her in and file a LOST CAT report. Share your photos with them and when you have time, go to their facilities in person to check if your cat is there. The staff doesn’t always have time to do a thorough check among the cats in house. - [ ] Start walking around your neighborhood after dusk with a flashlight, slowly and quietly, looking under bushes and decks, in open garages, calling for him/her and then listening for him/her to respond. You can bring food with you, but most cats are too scared to come immediately to the smell of food. - [ ] If you do spot him/her, call somebody to bring a carrier over with the food in it to try and attract him/her; do not try to pull him/her out from under a bush or garage or wherever you find him/her. Most cats will withdraw further because they’re scared. - [ ] Last thing, put something that smells like you on your porch. Cats will be attracted back to a familiar smell and this may be a good way to get him/her to come back on her own. Chances are high that s/he’s only within one street of your house if s/he lives indoors normally. Best of luck to you and I hope you get him/her back very soon.

Cats enter sheds and garages and often get stuck in sheds and garages for days or longer when the people don’t return. Make and distribute fliers to all neighbors asking them on the flyer to please check their shed and garage. Offer a reward if possible. Cats can survive a long time on insects if locked in a shed/garage. The cat will likely return to your home. Look for the cat after dusk. That’s when the cat will be coming out of hiding after sleeping all day. Cats get trapped in drawers and under remote control furniture. Our cat climbed on the roof and fell down the chimney. Please avoid putting a collar on a cat. If you insist on a collar, make absolutely sure it’s a breakaway collar. Predators grasp the collar. Cats climb and jump. The collar snags on things and the cat gets injured or dies. -Sometimes even a breakaway collar fails to release.
