I've lost my cat several times (one time for several days) and had him mistakenly taken from me two other times (again, for days) and all those times I was able to get him back following these steps:
- Place your cat's litter outside your front door. The smell will help notify him to walk in the right direction if he's simply lost or hiding nearby. (Jump to step seven below if you suspect the cat is nearby.)
- Create a lost pet notice on BC Pet Registry and the BC SPCA's own BC SPCA Pet Search. This will not only get others looking, but the exercise of gathering all the details to fill in the form with provide you with a baseline of information about your cat that people need to help you. If your cat is tattooed or microchipped, make sure the clinic or hospital that administered the ID'ing has your current contact information. Unsure?
