FOLLOW THESE LOST PET TIPS

• 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.
