I Lost My Cat! What Should I Do?
I Lost My Cat! What Should I Do?
Thousands of pets get lost every day. This is why 49% of all cats are kept indoors. You can triple their life span and have a better bond with them by keeping them indoors. I know they are natural hunters, but that was in the beginning when we did not live in cities where danger triples at every turn. This is why I advocate that you keep your cats indoors.
Make sure your pet has a collar and tags. Put the words Reward, I get lost, Indoor course, humans call me tag along with the phone number. This way if anyone finds that they will know how to contact you.
STEP 1
Quiet! Stop assigning blame and take a deep breath. You'll need all your wits about you followed the steps to be reunited with your peers.
STEP 2
Check your home from top to bottom. Attics, crawl spaces, closets, cupboards, garage, drawers and basements. I have had hundreds of calls from panicked man who can not find their beloved Fluffy only to find that he struts out of the back of the kitchen cupboard the next day. Be methodical and quiet.
Remember, animals can catch your energy. If you panic she would be afraid to come out because of all the commotion. If he is the only one put down a bowl of pet food in the middle of each room and see if they are eaten. This is a sure sign that your feather angel still somewhere in your home.
STEP 3
If your baby out of time to start the search. Sweat as much as possible and take a blanket or towel that has your smell on it. When you walk around the neighborhood with open cans of tuna you must be a beacon of smell for your cat. The sweat on your clothes, blankets or towels and tuna is an irresistible combination.
When you walk around be sure to call the cat in a gentle, loving, normal tone. Use the nickname if he has one. If you see him and he did not come to you, sit on the ground and put the tuna in front of you to persuade him.
Continued to call him, be patient. Once the cat was out of the neighborhood for a while he could go wild (survival mode) and may have difficulty recognizing his man. So he was quite close, reach out gently and wrapped himself in a blanket and towel and take it home. Remember, your tone should be sweet and charming.
STEP 4
Call the Humane Society and inform them of your lost pet. Rent a humane trap and placed it by the door where your pet out. Cover the trap with clothes that have a familiar scent and put his favorite food in it. You may catch some other babies, so know how to liberate them from the trap.
STEP 5
Getting the word out is crucial! This is why I encourage everyone to save the image when their pets. Descriptions can be blurred, but the images speak a thousand words.
STEP 6
Reward poster is an important tool in the recovery of a pet. Unfortunately humans are motivated by money and if they see the amount they will take extra steps to find your lost pet. Reward poster must have a number at the very top in BIG BOLD LETTERS that can be seen from a distance. The next thing that should be a picture of your pet. The next section should read: Missing around (giving the street name only) was last seen on (state date).
Give any special characteristics such as extra toes, scarred, twisted tail, very shy and a clear description of the coat and breed of your companion animals. Do not put your address, just your phone number. If the pet has a specific medical problems, register on the flyer. If you do not put the "special needs." It is a great motivation if someone is keeping your pets. They will think to themselves that there will be costs involved veterinarian and will be encouraged to return the pet as soon as possible.
Always going to take a pet with other people and do not carry cash with you. Adding that the prize will be awarded at the pet recovery.
STEP 7
Distributing posters, or what I like to call "FLOOD." It is a proven fact that the more you spend poster the better the results. People will always take some of them down, but if you have "flooded" the area a few will always be left for people to see.
Copy your brochure and put it in the local paper. If you're pet is on medication, illness, and is a companion to the parent or child News TV and Radio will see this as a "special interest" human story. Exploring this area. I have compiled a list of places to put up posters. If you find any other good please e-mail me so we can share it with others.
