There are many ways to locate a missing cat. You can post it on social media, distribute filers, and advertise it in local papers with all the relevant photos and information about your cat.
You obviously should go and look for your cat on your own too because chances are they might be quite close to home. So, it’s highly advisable to check around the neighborhood, potential hiding spots that your cat tends to go to, and thoroughly search throughout your house, garden and backyard. It’s possible that your cat might have gotten stuck either on a tree or a roof, so searching in higher places is a good idea too.
