I can’t stress enough asking neighbors if YOU can look in their sheds/garages. Just in one week alone 3 different people found their cat a couple doors down, one was in a shed the other was under the shed. The other was sitting by a neighbors shed luckily the owner looked again in the same places she looked before. Another woman’s cat was missing for 5 weeks and she heard a cat crying when she went out looking because she never gave up. It was a couple doors down in a neighbors shed. That neighbor looked himself and had been in and out of the shed doing yard work. It took 2 hours for the woman to get her cat out. She had to crawl up and get him. He was so scared. He was skinny but alive. I’m guessing he came and went possibly eating and drinking somewhere and running back in. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this. Also cats can squeeze into the smallest of holes. They don’t act themselves when they get out. ALSO, do NOT put out the litter box, that’s a dangerous myth. Cats instinctively bury their waste to keep predators away. By putting the litter box out you are attracting predators and aggressive strays keeping your cat hiding and possibly running further away from the area.

Be Proactive and Aggressive in your search. Act Fast. Sometimes people wait, mistakenly thinking cat will just come home on their own. Don’t give up. Cats usually stay within a 5 House Radius. Indoor cats don’t usually go far. They get scared and try to be quiet. They could be hunkering down in nearby bushes, under decks/porches, crawlspaces etc. Go out before dusk, dawn and again in the quiet middle of the night hours. Loudly crack open a can of cat food. Look in garages/sheds, rafters, trees and drainage pipes in ditches. Look in the same places you already did again and again because cats will move to different nearby places if spooked. I’ve had people say they found their cat in a place they looked at a few times. Place a humane trap with stinky food in it on your property or ask neighbors if you can put one on theirs. If you have a dog, use their strong sense of smell taking them for a walk around the neighborhood and your home. Alert neighbors and ask to look on their property and garages/sheds, under sheds too if obvious holes dug by animals. Go out in the quiet of night with a High Lumens Tactical LED flashlight looking for glowing eyes. Sit out in the quiet of night and read a book out loud in a calm and soothing voice. Shake noisy cat toy or treats. Keep garage slightly open with cats bed/blanket and articles of owners unwashed items. Also check thoroughly indoors, dresser drawers, linen closets, totes, under couches lining, cupboards, basement etc.. Large Neon posters at intersections with limited writing so passing vehicles can read quickly otherwise how would someone who isn’t on social media and might have seen or taken in your cat know some is looking. Physically go to shelters and leave info every couple days. Leave info at local veterinarian offices. Also post on Facebook pages, For The Love Of Louie Michigan Lost Pet Lookers & Local Facebook groups. Also post on your local Nextdoor app and the Pawboost app, they will send out email alerts to members and will also post on local Facebook Lost and Found Pets groups. Good Luck. Get home safe and Sound 🙏🏻❤️

Do NOT put out the litter box. Putting the litter box outside is NOT recommended. ONLY put out unwashed items of cat and owners like clothing and bedding, things that smell like home. Cats instinctively bury their waste to keep predators away. By putting the litter box out you are attracting predators and aggressive strays keeping your cat hiding and possibly running further away from the area. I told this to one woman who confirmed that she saw stray cats using Her cat’s litter box claiming it as theirs and marking territory. It made her cat leave the area. Luckily someone saw her cat blocks away at an abandoned house and there were NEON Posters at intersections with info that I put up for owner. Coyote hunters actually put out used cat litter to lure in coyotes. Never give up cats have been found months and even years later but you have to be proactive 🙏🏻❤️

Put some of your dirty laundry outdoors(never litter it attracts other animals). Indoor cats usually stay within 4 houses. Check early evenings and early mornings for sightings.
