128148128270128008 LOST CAT TIPS 128008 128062128148 (Anchorage or MatSu or MatSu)

My name is Cynthia White. I run Anchorage Pet Detective page on Facebook. I've given a lot of people tips about finding their missing cats lately and we've had some success stories! Be sure and leave out food! Nothing fancy, on the ground is fine. Or cans of wet food open just be careful about sharp edges. Wet food smells stronger than dry. Shake a bowl of dry food outside late at night when it's quiet. Hang something that smells like home above the food stations so the scent carries on the wind. Maybe get a cat trap. (I have one for rent and will deliver & pick up or you can get one from the muni.)
Please holler if you have any questions!
If there are houses nearby:...most cats are found within 5-10 houses in either direction from point of loss. best thing you can do is ask all neighbors to look under porches/in sheds etc.

An email i got: "...Found him under a house in a crawl space across the way. Told the neighborhood kids we'd give whoever found him a reward and it motivated them, he was found within 30 minutes."
From Craigslist: "Last night I got my 7yo cat home. He'd gone missing while I was away. I immediately started putting out food for him when I realized he was gone, at both the front and back doors. I also set out some recently worn clothing with the food. A few sightings meant he was still alive. I went to the Shelter and rented one of the Live Traps. Last night I set it on my front step. I put in a banquet! Dry food, fish skin, wet cat/dog food, treats. I put in water and cat-nip.I also covered the trap with cut grass. When I went to bed at 11pm, the trap was empty. At 1:30am, the neighbors' cat had to be released, and the trap re-set; at 3:30am my cat was trapped. Long story short, after being gone for well over a week, he was caught. He is now on 'lock down' for at least 10 days so that he re-adjusts to being 'my cat'. Just my recent experience in the hope it helps someone. Most cats are still near their home."
