What to do if your cat is missing:
-
Put familiar blankets and toys outside of the house or where the cat may have exited; cats have an excellent sense of smell.
-
Immediately alert neighbors, ask friends to help look, and provide a good color photo of the cat for reference.
-
Put up flyers in your area with a good color photo and detailed description.

Check with animal control, local shelters and rescues to see if any cats have been relinquished with your cat’s description.

Get a live trap (local humane societies loan them) and bait it with rotisserie chicken. Place the trap in a quiet, climate-comfortable and weather-proof space and cover the back half of the trap with a weather proof cover. Check the trap hourly (every 15 minutes in extreme hot or cold weather.)
