******2- Save the soiled cat litter box. Sprinkle some on the side of your stairs, side of your driveway and on the earth of the shrubs that you share with neighbours The familiar scent will attract him.
If he's outside he can return with 48 hours max. Be very attentive to her return even during the night and early morning Repeat this tip every day. For additional scents put your used bed sheets outside as well as a blanket that he uses or even the dust from your vacuum bag.
Save some of the soiled litter to repeat this tip after the rain.
3- Call your cat's name out loud, very loud 4-5 times. Stay in front of your home for the first 10-15 minutes so that your voice is echoing there where you want him to return.
Do this tip anytime of day but especially anytime from 9:30 pm till midnight and very early morning. Also, walk in one direction up to 6-7 blocks calling his name and return on the same steps back to your home. This way your voice will lead him back to your home. Repeat in all other directions .
4- Notify those walking their dog. They are outside 2-3 times a day. They can be attentive to seeing your cat or a notice by someone who found her. Be attentive to construction in your area and those doing renovations.
5- Make at least 120 colored photocopies of a good photo . Have them plasticized at Bureau en Gros and post them to circle your territory up to 9-10 blocks in every direction. You can also make black white copies to drop off in people's mailboxes. Offer a reward and mention that he needs medication. It often enticed people to return a found animal.
6- Notify veterinarian clinics,, pet food stores in your area, convenience stores, pharmacies and gas stations by leaving them all photocopies.
7- Put notices and look for notices by those who found a cat on: kijiji, facebook, Spotted ( + add name or your area)
