When Toy was "lost" (Case of the Missing Toy on my blog), I realized how very important it is to have these items/procedures, in place. Luckily, I did!
1) Have a recent color photo. You will need it for a poster/flyer
2) Make a flyer and include the photo with this info: Lost Cat, name, coloring, discerning markings, behaviors, last seen location, microchipped? collared?, your name and phone number.
I also include: needs medicine. If the lost pet is really sweet/endearing someone who finds it & is thinking of keeping it is less likely to, if they believe it has a medical condition. Trust me, it happens. Also, include a reward.
3) Call/visit pet supply stores, local shelters, animal control, vets, police department. Drop off or email the flyer.
4) Put the flyer in a laminated pocket and post in your neighborhood/park (as allowed). Leave copies with neighbors in the vicinity.
5) Post in www.petfinder.com (under lost pets)
6) Take a classified ad in your local paper. They are usually low-cost/free.
7) Most importantly, try to stay calm.

this is very true and important. also if you havent already make sure that your cat or any other pets get their microchip planted in their body(it is pain free!) so that if or when they ever DO get lost you can just scan the barcode at your local shelter(if they have the device the shelter will give you info of where to find one if they do NOT) and your pet will show on the radar. God forbid anyone loses their pet... |
