My cat has been missing since Monday morning and im worried sick as she is normally an indoor cat and never ventures outside. She is 2 yrs old and ive done all I can to try to find her, ie leaflet dropping and calling cats protection etc. Has anyone got any advice on what more I can do to get her back? She is chipped as well. Serious answers please x

First of all, drop by at your neighbours house, as many as possible, and ask them personally if they have seen her at all, providing a detailed description. By taking the personal approach, they will see how upset you are and be more obliged to keep an eye out for your cat.

If she is an indoors cat, chances are she will have headed for somewhere where she would feel secure, rather than prowling a wide open space, are there any areas like this in your vicinity?

Stick posters on trees as well, with a photo of her on it, as this will alert passers by, on the chance that they see her strolling by.

Try not to fret too much, cats do seem to have an inate ability to get home, and even cats that have been kept indoors seem to have that homing instinct. If she has lived in the same house for 2 years, this will help too.

I really hope you find her!

Every suggestion I had thought of has been covered already on here by other people or you're doing it already.

Don't give up hope. Your cat has quite possibly found a neighbour that also feeds it, so she should be ok, hopefully.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned and I sincerely hope this doesn't apply in your case. Pet theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the UK. If your cat is not neutered, especially given that she is a pedigree she will be valuable to anyone wanting to breed from her. If you get her back, please take her to the vet and get her spayed.

I realise that doesn't help with your immediate problem but it might help in future. As I said, the cat has quite likely found a kindly neighbour who has been feeding it. Cats do that.

Keep your chin up, keep looking and best of luck, my heart goes out to you.

Put up signs all over your neighborhood, and keep them up!! True story: Two of my cats went missing. I put up signs all over the neighborhood "Two neutered male cats missing . . . reward, etc . . ." Those signs stayed up for THREE months when a lady finally called me. She had my cats, which she thought were strays, and had moved to a town about 50 miles away, but still owned a house in my neighborhood and would come back to do maintenance. She said she had seen my signs but thought the cats that she found were female! When she discovered they were males, she called me and brought my cats home the next day.

The reason I told you this story is so that you won't give up. Also file a lost report w/your local animal shelter/humane society. Put notices in the newspaper.

R U sure she's not hiding anywere, having birth? That's the case most of the time. Or if she walked out on purpose, and she's used to house life, she'll probably come back. Keep your door open as often as possible and try laying out a bit of catfood or something near your house everyday. Keep dumping it a bit closer to ur house every day and make sure that a stray cat isn't eating it instead. See if she'll come back

I don't think there's anything more than you can do except maybe ask your neighbours to check their sheds and garages if you didn't mention this in your leaflet. Our neighbours lost their indoor cat - he escaped when one of them left the door open - and he reappeared after two weeks, he'd been shut in a shed accidentally. Although he was rather thin he was OK. I really hope she turns up.

pet insurance have an alert to all vets system. there's one also called keepsafe, a one off lifetime fee. they give you a collar with a special tag incase the cat is found, the person who finds the pet can ring the number on the disc and a local vet is alerted. it also pays all vet fees if your cat needs attention. other than the local paper with a reward youve done everything you can do. I hope he comes home, i would be worried sick too.

Never give up on looking for your cat. I once lost my cat and it turned up 6 weeks later, so theres always hope! Stay determined, a good idea would be to put up posters everywhere and report your cat missing to the RSPCA and your local newspaper.

once you've different cats contained in the homestead, probability is that your lacking cat moved out and positioned yet another homestead elsewhere. lady cats will be quite choosy about the different cats they stay with and sometimes, will go away in the adventure that they don't get alongside with them too nicely. Your project sounds very comparable to what handed off to me very last 365 days. I had a tortoiseshell cat that purely loved me and no human being else contained in the family individuals and she or he did not get alongside with the different cats. One nighttime, she were given out by technique of twist of destiny and in no way got here again. i believe very strongly that she moved in with a neighbor and is happier there than she became with me. i'd advise that you consider getting a male cat this time. they don't look as illiberal of different cats residing with them as women are.

Do more pray, put food out to see if that brings her back, grow capnip, do everything you possibaly can because im sure you havent tryed everything. A really good way to try is to put her add in the paper with a photo of her and description.

some really thoughtless unkind responses here. You must be distraught, you've done all you can the rest is just waiting...and that's awful. If it helps go out everyday to look,dont forgot sheds, crates anything that she might be trapped in, ours used to regularly get shut in a neighbours garden shed. Good luck and hope all ends well.
