Cat Finding Tips - How to Find a Lost Cat |
 - The first thing to do when searching for a lost cat is to confirm that your cat is actually lost. Cats can easily find a cozy place in your residence to nap for quite some time. Search every corner of your residence before venturing out looking for your lost cat.
- Once you've determined that your cat has definitely left your residence, don't pack up the whole family in an effort to search for the cat . Often cats will return soon after their departure. You'll want someone at home to contact the others in the event that your cat wanders back home soon after the search party leaves. - Cats usually don't go far. They're curious animals that like to look and sniff around. It's more likely for a cat to be a few blocks away than a few miles away. So stick close to home for the first part of your search. Be sure to check all the streets in your neighborhood. Talking to other cat owners you see is a good idea as the owner might have seen your cat. It's more likely that a cat owner will notice a wandering cat than someone who is not a cat lover. 
- When searching the neighborhood, be sure to call your cat's name. Your cat can hear you from a great distance. Your cat might be in between houses or behind bushes. Don't rely on just your eyes for finding your cat.- Once you've exhausted your physical search, it's time to post lost cat posters. Don't just put the posters on your street; post them at the entrance of your neighborhood and in places people frequent. Community mailboxes are also a good place to post your lost cat poster. People often recognize a lost cat poster when they see one. Although it's important for your poster to be marked with "LOST CAT," it could be more important to emphasize your cat's color. Keep the information simple. Someone who might have found your cat doesn't need to know your cat's gender or whether it is spayed or neutered. Name, breed and color are really the only things that someone needs to know when looking for a lost cat. Provide your contact information on the poster; provide your phone number, but not your name or address. 
- Be sure to call your local veterinary offices and animal emergency clinics to see if anyone has brought in a lost cat. Give them information about your lost cat and take them a poster if you can.
- Be sure to visit your local animal control, humane societies, and animal shelters to look for your lost cat. It's quite possible that your pet could end up there and describing your cat over the phone isn't enough to find out of he has been taken in. Again, leave a lost cat poster at these locations so employees can contact you should your cat show up. - Be sure to check the newspaper's classifieds section for Found Pets. These ads usually change daily, so you should check them each day. If your newspaper has a web site, see if you can search these listings online. |
