Follow this checklist --
- View our How to Find a Lost Cat video tutorial
- Check local shelters’ websites every 3 days for new arrivals
- Check Nextdoor for the neighborhood where your cat was lost and create a lost cat post with picture
- Check and post to the many lost pet Facebook pages for our area
- Check Craigslist for found cat posts in the Lost & Found category and create a lost pet ad with picture
- If your cat has a microchip, contact your microchip company and ensure your phone number is updated in their system
- If your cat is an indoor-only cat that got outside, it probably panicked from the stimulus, bolted, and hid nearby in a neighbor’s yard. Cats tend to hide within a few houses of where they went missing.
- If your cat was outside regularly, something may have scared your cat out of his/her territory. Most outdoor cats are found within a 17-house radius of where they went missing.
- Post small flyers on neighbors’ doors asking them to check under their decks or other possible hiding places. Post large flyers at major intersections around your neighborhood.
- Check the lost cat posts at other local animal shelters
- Register with Finding Rover, a free facial recognition app that scans the features of your cat’s face. With the app, you can upload a photo of your cat and report your cat as being lost. Then, Finding Rover will search local shelters and display any results that resemble your cat.
