Try going out early morning 3am calling & even look into houses that have builders in as some cats get in through open window then get shut in so call through letter boxes of empty houses Have you registered here https://www.nationalpetregister.org/mp/91022 This was on another cats missing page IMPORTANT- WATCH SONYA FITZPATRICK ON YOUTUBE - HOW TO FIND YOUR LOST CAT Ask/BEG people to check in their sheds, esp the people with gardens near you. Unfortunately MANY people can be lazy and they don’t thoroughly check sheds. They may think cats are like dogs and will just run out. Cats WILL STAY hiding in fear, esp in a shed or garage. So, personally, I would ask if YOU could gently COAX him/her out. Then constantly explain to shed/garage owner that you are convinced he/she is behind stuff that may be stacked up, with gaps that will be behind stuff. Tell them that your cat can SQUEEZE into tiny spaces and will be too nervous to come out for a stranger. Then BEG for permission to search and reassure cat to come to you, which could take 10-15 minutes. Don’t forget that people may imagine you are a ‘bogus caller/thief, so you need to be extremely reassuring as well as emotional. All the time you are talking to shed/garage owner talk in a calming way, so your cat can hear you being reassuring. It’s a difficult ‘act’ being very concerned AND calm at the same time! xxx ps if they refuse to let you retrieve your cat from their shed then instruct them to leave food at the entrance of the door, and leave door open for a couple of hours at least, and take some smelly tinned fish in plastic trays from recycling bag/box to give them. Ask them to leave water at the entrance of the shed/garage also. Your cat will come out to the food then. https://www.catchat.org/index.php/cat-missing-lost-found#found ????10 TIPS TO HELP TO BRING YOUR CAT HOME???? 1.Put familiar smells outside, bedding used litter tray, contents of hoover 2.Call softly late at night or early morning when quiet. IMPORTANT wait for a response, they may be close by, hiding under a hedge or somewhere that is sheltered 3.Check with neighbours, and Postie. 4.Make a poster with their photo, location lost, your contact details, put poster at eye level around your area, and give to neighbours 5.Make smaller posters to put through doors close to where they escaped from, as not everyone is online/on Facebook 6.Contact local vets, and animal rescues/shelters 7.Put on more Facebook sites, and share to all animal sites around you 8.If chipped contact chip company,they may have been advised of a cat that has been found with your details 9.Also if there are any empty houses in the vicinity, check to see if they have a cat flap or an open window. 10. Notify council cleansing department JUST in case. Cats dont wander far normally, when they need to go searching for food, so leave biscuits and water nearby your home. The info below will say about putting things out that has familiar smells. Sprinkling some of your wee around, from a bottle, will also 'scent' your area. Look at satellite view on Google Map of where your cat could walk. See where there is a gap between buildings. Start a trail of wee in a water bottle from where gardens or courtyards border on to alleyways from the side of buildings, and then sprinkle along inside edge of pavement where a cat would spray all the way home. Choose different directions, each time walking home with empty bottle calling louder when you start your return journey and quieter as you near home to make scent and sound the leading influence on your hiding cat xx As you are walking back home try not to sound anxious as you call, and wait for a reply, as he/she wont just run out to meet you if he/she feels afraid. Take a toy on a stick and string to lure him/her out from hedges. Never call as you walk AWAY from home. Join NextDoor.co.uk xx Join all if not back soon - AnimalSearchUK.co.uk PetsLocated.com NationalPetRegister.org (Just look in Gumtree.com MyLostBox.com) Please notify them as soon as you are reunited. When putting posters up - please please - keep track of how many posters you display, and WHERE, and so as soon as you are reunited then every one is removed. General advice in catching a fearful cat - NOT to approach when bending forwards with arms and hands outstretched. NOT staring directly at a fearful cat, showing teeth when smiling and constantly repeating name. Not walking directly towards a cat. Best way - sit/lie down, with scattered worn clothes in front/all around. Food left nearby - preferably in a trap. Talking quietly, no noise nearby, keeping dogs or children or spectators at a real distance to avoid distractions xx I helped a girl find her indoor cat as he was being looked after at a friends house which was over an hours drive from his actual home! He’s an indoor cat so she was frantic he had got out of rooftop window! He got lost at number 85 & eighteen days later was found at number 63!! Covered in fleas ticks & with worms! The only way he was reunited was due to the total poster blitz of the area! The owner would drive up every day looking & putting up posters & flyers through doors! U must knock on every single door along your street & the next street the gardens back on to as he will be hiding scared in someone’s garden. You will find him please leave your clothes with your scent on in your garden it does really work & your urine too spray it from water bottle around your garden!! Get good posters from pets reunited & if you upgrade to VIP £9.99 they print out 50 posters for you! Their posters have a Q CODE on so people can scan details of poster into their phone so if they find your cat they can call you even if it’s middle of night without having to go looking for a poster in the street. Post on pawboost is good site but honestly blitzing the area with sooo many posters as people walk past posters that say are just the odd one here & there but if they are absolutely everywhere then they kind of stick in people brain! http://catlost.com/?fbclid=IwAR2Rm_12DRt9qOiQmtXRmyFHUsS1nAAA2v-mYojLh5YNgms6JopVv3-DriU
