Hi there I’m a volunteer with a local cat rescue . I don’t have your cat. I have not seen your cat but I did see your posts online. If you want, some guidance or advice on what to do, please message me Typically what we tell people if this : Do not offer a reward you’re gonna get so many scams it’s not necessary. People can send you a AI photos and AI videos. Anybody asking for money before they actually do a live video chat to show you the cat is scamming you FIRST FEW DAYS male or female, lost cat 1- do not put food or litter outside because it will attract wild life or other cats, and it will scare her or him out of the area. She's gonna be too stressed to eat for a few days anyway Don’t leave any of her things outside because again you’re gonna attract other cats to her smell. You can leave some of your things outside. Use blankets,, used T-shirt, dirty socks, etc.. 2- LEAVE YOUR DOORS OPEN. She's MOST LIKELY GOING TO TRY AND COME BACK ON her or HIS OWN, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN IT’S VERY QUIET CONSIDER LEAVING DOORS OPEN 3- sit outside in the middle of the night when it’s very dark and talk to him or her a lot of cats are too scared to approach their owners but if he is brave enough, she might do it if you see her do not approach her just keep sitting down and have her come all the way up to you This could take 15 or 20 minutes 4- you need to set up some cameras around your property so you can see if she's circling around at night especially if you’re not gonna leave your doors open for her Can you get some Wi-Fi cameras or something immediately today, make sure you put microSD cards in them so they record motion so that you’re not having to watch them live 24 seven 5- talk to all your neighbours that have security cameras give them a piece of paper with your phone number and her description , ask them to check their cams esp over night 6- talk to all your neighbours that have a deck you can go on Google satellite view and check if they have a deck in the backyard and if they do ask them to go, to look for your cat. When you walk around or search a yard and start calling him in a happy voice, because he doesn’t know your foot steps from a predator so lead with your voice, and always bring a strong flashlight and some treats with you. If you do see him underneath the deck, barricade it with some thing and bring a carrier and then go back and try and have him come up to you. If he will not, then you might need to get a humane trap or borrow one, but most likely he’s going to try and come back on his own. 7- Keep calling him from the house don’t call him from all over the neighbourhood you’re gonna confuse him which way to go Missing Cats don’t go far he’s not gonna be across town he’s gonna be probably within 5-7 houses radius . Very very close

• Here are some good tips people gave me when they found their lost cats: I know this is a lot to read but please read it it will help you find your kitty Don’t wait until your kitty comes home. The most important thing is go out there right away talking to neighbors and ask if you can check their garages and sheds under sheds, under stairs, decks, trees and under bushes and your own backyard, under cars and up trees another cat was found in a garage also check everywhere in your house. Also check in your house in drawers under couches some were found inside the couch behind the fridge and in basement. Cats don’t make a sound when they are scared. your kitty might be locked in somewhere. and putting up posters everywhere even a few streets over and on the end of your drive way with a picture of your cat and your info not everybody is on facebook. . Put a piece of clothing and shoes that you have worn and a cardboard box and food put it outside leave your garage door and basement window open a bit. Have a trail of treats going to your house. Use a toy on a string cats like to play and a laser pointer. Some cats came home between 2 am and 5 am. Take posters with your info to all shelters even outsite your area and vets in person and check them every few days; they may identify a male cat as a female cat at shelters and check kijiji and check and join every facebook site in your area people share and comment on them. Not everybody likes cats and they will not check their sheds and garages nor post lost cats. When cats are scared, they don’t make a sound Check construction sites some cats were found in unfinished basements. recently lost cats were found locked in a shed, a garage, stuck under sheds, decks stairs and crawlspace and couldn’t get out. on a window sill, and in a neighbour's basement, in the attic and in a neighbour's car engine , window wells in empty houses and under cars under tarps one was found locked in a camping trailer one was found in a mattres in the house. Someone found her cat DOWN IN A 5 FOOT DRAIN ON NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. Some cats get disoriented and can’t find their way home extend your search a few streets over. best times to go look for your cat are dusk or first light. Take a flashlight with you, cats' eyes will reflect back at you. BE CALM ..POSITIVE ..CALL LIKE YOU SEE THEM ..CALL VERY SOFTLY ... CALL OFTEN .. SHAKE TOY TREATS. . Some cats came home between 2 am and 5 am. Some people said the cat came home when the emptied the vacuum cleaner on their lawn. Cats were found between 10 and 20 km away from home please extend your search a few streets over with posters. Some cats were gone for weeks and month and were found so please don’t give up your kitty is out there waiting for you. Also every town has a TNR they feed feral and stray cats find out where they are and check a lot of cats were found at the feeding stations. Good luck I pray your will find your kitty. Is there any places they can get into the ceilings? Or even open vent work? Also check closets or washer/dryer if there is any chance it was left open just a bit. Couches and box springs are another popular place for them to hide. They can be very sneaky! This is what this lady said--- Wow so thanks to everyone advice I literally shook the contents of the vacuum into the air in the backyard softly called her name and sat down shaking some treats 5 mins later I hear a faint meow and she appeared. I now swear by the vacuum at dusk trick. Thank you everyone. Hopefully my neighbors dont think I'm crazy. I've been in their backyards all day. And then shaking the contents of the vacuum into the wind. Lol i cant thank you all enough. A lady said she used my tips and found her kitty under a shed. Another lady made a scent trail with an old smelly tshirts to lure him from the ravine to the front door. This lady said I did the vacuum thing and shook the treats. 3 mins later I heard meowing. Sprinkle catnip it around the yard. PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP. I pray you will find your kitty. You might need a live trap

Hoping you find this puss😕❤️ Go out looking for her/him at night when it’s quiet. Call and listen! for them to call back. Go down laneways etc too - they could be trapped in a garage, injured & hiding, scared… Knock on doors & talk to people on the street - they may know of her/him - someone may have taken them in. Post on All Neighbourhood social media sites. Put up posters - drop as flyers in mailboxes. File a LOST report with Toronto/other Animal Services in case they end up there - continue to check their listings! Continue to call - they won’t necessarily call you. Also, check their ‘deceased animals’ listings 🥲 ⭐️Consider setting a well-monitored live trap in your yard. He may be too scared to come out but may be able to be trapped.⭐️ You may catch other critters that will need to be released. Keep looking! Don’t give up on her/him .🥰

- [ ] The kitty is probably hiding close to home and scared. Call the kitty’s name softly morning noon and night. Late at night. Rattle a treats bag. Put out toys and food and water. Rig up a cat shelter - place articles of clothing and blankets that smell like home in the shelter. Posters work. Make posters and put them up everywhere with your phone number visibly on the poster. Ask for sightings. Don’t give up. Check Toronto Animal Services lost and found and strays. Report your cat missing and send a photo

Shared. If you have not yet done ALL these things, do them now. If you have, do them again and go further in your search. Notify Toronto Animal Services and check their website for found cats. Carefully check around your home and property, focusing on small, hidden spots like closets, dresser drawers and hidden nooks and crannies in garages, sheds, basement etc. in case he snuck back in. IF he's an intact male he may have chased unspayed females in heat and have trouble finding his way back home. If he was injured he may be hiding. Search all nearby shrubs, bushes and trees, window wells, garages and sheds. Ask nearby neighbours to do the same. Alert local vet offices, rescues and shelters. Alert local feral cat feeders who may spot him searching for food. Leave his used used litter and some food and water in hidden places near the door he left and check this evening. See Pawboost for more ways to find and sample posters. Put a notice in nearby neighbours mailboxes, post on local notices boards, in community centres, churches and schools. Go out after dark bring food and treats, search a 5+ block radius, stop periodically and softly call but do not make any loud noises or sudden moves. Lost cats are terrified and do not recognize their owner as safe.

Not sure if this will help, but you could try.. Your cat is most likely hiding finding a safe space. Please place its bedding 🛏 outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing👚👖 front and back door 🚪with a contents of tuna can 🐟 on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well...supervise food outdoors. Leave little bit of your windows 🪟open. So the cat may hear familiar voices. Put some of their toys 🧸outside as well. Also vaccumed home 🧹dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home🏡 enterence . You can also add some catnip 🌱in a stocking hanging by your entrances. Show your neighbors 🖼picture of the🐈 cat. 10 houses to the ⬅️ left 10 house🏡 to the right➡️ front ⬆️ and back⬇️ if they spot him to give you a call ☎️ immediately. Also, you can put up a Sign post 🪧with your 🐱📷 picture. In front of your 🏡lawn and to call you or contact you ASAP. Go early ⏰️ in the ☀️morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Tell neighbors to check their sheds and garage.Just in case it's trapped.. Check under decks and under neighbors vehicles🚗 Also, you can install a camera / Baby monitor 📹 to monitor and see & hear if the cat is around your house 🏡. You can even ask your Local Pet 🐱 Animal Shelter to Rent out a Safe Trap and monitor it.. Post your ad on your phone app NEXTDOOR, & PAWBOOST too ! Praying for a soon safe return 🍀 of your kitty 🙏 ❤️🏡🐾
