A man phoned this morning to report his cat missing. By the time I returned his call, the cat had been found in a neighbours shed. It had been locked in since Monday but was none the worse for wear. He had asked the neighbour to look around the garden but later thought of the shed. Just as well! It's always a good idea to ask people to check any locked buildings as it's so easy for cats to be locked in without anyone realising.
The above website has a lot of fantastic advice for people who have lost a cat. The basics are always the same. Start searching immediately. Alert neighbours and ask them to check all buildings on their property (in case the cat is locked in). Put up flyers with a photo of the cat in all the vets clinics in your area as well as pet shops, supermarkets, community centres, etc. Leave word with all the rescues in your area in case someone brings the cat in. Contact local and community radio and newspapers.
Ask the children in your neighbourhood to keep a look out, they will often notice an animal quicker than an adult. Inform them there's a reward for however finds the cat.
The website below has good info on how NOT to lose your cat!
