Search Your Neighborhood
TOUR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD BY FOOT WITH A KENNEL AND FOOD IN HAND, making the usual sounds and noises associated with dinner time (by tapping the can or shaking a bowl of dry food, for example).
Blanket Your Area With "Lost Cat" Signs & Flyers
PROMPTLY BLANKET YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING AREA WITH "LOST CAT" SIGNS AND FLYERS.
If using an ink-jet printer, keep in mind the ink may run or fade after a few days. Have copies made at your local copy center or create a sign using a permanent black marker. Consider placing the flyers in document protectors. Bring a roll of wide tape to post your flyers.
Don't forget to post them in high-traffic areas such as local grocery stores, veterinary offices, and pet supply stores (have a stash of thumbtacks!).
Signs should BOLDLY state: "LOST CAT" with a good description to include coat color and pattern, weight, sex, and whether or not the cat was wearing tags and/or is microchipped.
Include a clear photograph of the wayward feline, along with the date the cat went missing, from what location, and your contact information. A personal plea and an offer of a reward might also help. Use this as an opportunity to speak with your neighbors and tell them to be on the lookout.
Notify Local Shelters, Vet Clinics & Microchip Companies
CALL LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS, VET CLINICS AND THE MICROCHIP TRACKING COMPANY TO INFORM THEM OF YOUR CAT'S DISAPPEARANCE. Provide them all of the information as stated above. Email, fax, or bring them a copy of your flyer. Follow this link to file a Missing Pet Report with the Hawaiian Humane Society. VISIT ANIMAL SHELTERS OFTEN TO LOOK FOR YOURSELF.
