Having your cat disappear, escape out of the house or simply go missing can be heart wrenching. It may help to know ahead of time the steps to immediately take in an effort to help locate your cat. For instance, if you saw your cat escape, start looking in the direction she went. If you didn’t see her escape, check your house then the area surrounding your house. Talk to your neighbors and notify animal control, police departments, veterinarians, and animal shelters within a 20 mile radius. If your cat has been microchipped make sure to notify the company the chip is registered with and ensure they have your accurate contact information on file. Search within a one or two mile radius and post flyers everywhere including busy intersections. Enlist the help of friends and family. For more tips, contact your vet clinic Dutchess County NY.
