hi guys welcome back to the channel it is Claire and Molly
this week now I'm here at my parents house with my parents cats because not only
are they adorable but one of them is concerned with this video now I'm here
this week to talk to you about what to do if your cat goes missing
now a few months ago one of my pets cats max not this one this is Molly went
missing for five days it was really really hard and really scary but we did
a few things and eventually he came home now I'm not going to say that every time
a cat goes missing they do come home unfortunately but here are a few things
you can do to make it a bit more possible that your cat will come home to
you now first thing you should do is contact your vets and your local shelter if you let
your vets and your local shelters know that your cat is missing they can keep
an extra ear or eye out for anyone that brings in a stray or lost cat if you're
vets and local shelters are active on social media then they can share
information through their pages now this really helped us out when max went missing
as our local vet and shared a lot on Twitter not only is it a great way to
cast a wider net when looking for your cat but it means that your vets or
shelters can get in contact with you if your cat is brought into either of them
and if your cats is microchipped get in contact with the magnet chip company to
register your cat missing now the second thing is putting up posters may
see these infants on TV all the time but they have the potential to really help
you out if I'm accident missing I made up approached out and we distributed it
throughout the neighborhood here's the poster that I made now in this poster
you need a clear picture of your cat preferably in color one if they of any
distinctive color their name or any name that they respond to a brief description
of your cat with noting of any unusual markings or features they might have
your name and a way of contacting you so maybe any mobile number or an email
address now this has the potential to make a big difference when we put the
posters up from max when he went missing it was only within the hour that we
ended up going phone texts from people who had possible
sightings now none of these actually came to fruition as a max it seemed
heavily locked away somewhere because how much better health it can be with
your neighborhood now the third one that is go looking for
them now I know this sounds obvious and I'm not insulting your intelligence but
sometimes cats can just lose their way this happened with max he went missing
again after he'd been found the first time and it actually just happened that
he just lost his way my dad went and had a bit of a look for him around the
neighborhood and actually found him at the bottom of the Long Street where they
live he had obviously gone out and was completely lost to where he was so if
you live in a closed neighborhood just maybe you and a few friends or family it
is good to have more than one person looking just have a look around your
neighborhood or your town or village now you should go around calling their name
looking under foliage under cars or anywhere that you think a cat would go
and hide don't forget to ask your neighbors permission if you can go and
look in their sheds their garages or any outhouses that they have make sure that
they know to keep an eye out in these places so if your cat goes there maybe
in the night time then before social media is a very good at all social media
platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are great ways of getting a message out
to a wider range of people there's only local pages on Facebook or
anything like the buyer swap cell or even an a local page for missing pets
put up all the information they have on the poster on to this post and ask
people to share it this is a great way of getting out all the information that
you need to people you might not usually talk to or interact with and five trying
to lure them home now you can leave things out and maybe in your back garden
or from garden maybe a bowl of their favorite food or a small amount of their
year's litter now this might just be enough to either lower them home or
guide them home if they're lost familiar smells such as their food and their
litter is a great indication for cats and they hopefully will be guided home
safely thanks for watching guys I hope these tips help you if you have lost
your cat then fingers crossed they have found a safe and sound now if you have
