Lost Cats

Walk around your neighborhood or the area where the cat was lost.

Ask neighbors to check their garages, under cars, and their yards. Call the cat's name, stop, and listen frequently. Do not chase a lost pet. If you see your pet, sit on the ground and talk to them in a normal voice, offer treats, and take your time.

Leave things with your cat's scent outside.

Place items that smell strongly of your home around your property. You could leave their food, litterbox, cat tree, blanket, etc. This will spread the scent in the area, making it easier for your cat to find their way home. Be sure to provide a way for them to get inside or a place for them to hide on your property.

Is your cat microchipped?

Contact the microchip company where your cat is registered and make sure the contact information associated with the chip is correct.

Upload a photo of your pet to Petco Love Lost.

Their facial recognition software will alert you if someone has found a cat that looks similar to your cat and even checks the animals listed on The Animal Foundation's Lost & Found page.

Create a flyer.

Use your Petco Love Lost post to create a flyer (available on their website). Post that flyer around the area where the cat was lost, on mailboxes, bulletin boards, local vet clinics, pet supply stores, etc. You will be able to be notified if someone finds your pet through the app without having to post your personal information on the flyer itself.

Create a post on social media.

Create posts on social media (Nextdoor, local Facebook groups for lost pets, etc.) with clear photos of your cat. Provide information about your pet, where they were lost, how to best approach them, and your contact information.

Review social media posts.

Review social media posts to see if anyone has posted your cat was found.

Don’t give up!

When you have found your cat, update your social media posts and remove any flyers.
