What to do if your cat goes missing?
By:
Hobart Cat Centre Inc.
- Check inside and outside your house thoroughly including wardrobes, cupboards, under beds, behind furniture & appliances. Check inside washing machines & dryers, sheds and garages. Cats can climb into some extraordinary places!
- Walk around the neighbourhood calling out to your cat. Check storm water drains & sewers (look down grates & call your cat's name). Check in trees, under bushes & cars.
- Ask your neighbours to check their houses, under their houses, garages & sheds. It's worthwhile asking your neighbours to ask their children to keep a look out for your pet too.
- Phone the Hobart Cat Centre and leave a detailed description of your cat. If you can provide us with a photo that's even better.
- Contact local vets, someone may have picked up your cat and taken it to a vet hospital.
- Print out flyers & include a photo of your pet. Letterbox drop and place in local shops and supermarkets. Include your first name & phone number.
- Call the RSPCA in case someone has taken your cat there. If possible e-mail or send them a photo of your pet.
- Place an advertisement in your local newspaper.
