Lost Cat
1. Create “Lost” posters
Include your contact information, the pet’s name, a color photo, and if possible a reward. Templates can be found at petharbor.com and don’t forget to register your dog as missing while you’re there. Dogs can travel great distances so be sure you start close to home and begin expanding distribution in all directions.
2. Post on Nextdoor in the Lost & Found Section
The Nextdoor website and smartphone app allows you to communicate immediately with your neighbors and surrounding communities.
3. Post on Petco Love Lost.
Enter a photo of your missing pet and search the Petco Love Lost national pet database to find them.
4. Visit the Idaho Humane Society's Found Pets page
The Idaho Humane Society's Found Pets page shows all the stray animals that are currently at the shelter brought in from the public or animal care and control.
5. Post in the 208 Lost and Found Pets Facebook Group
Become a member of the 208 Lost and Found Pets group on Facebook and make a post asking members to keep their eyes out for your missing kitty.
6. Place dirty clothes outside of your front door, or the pet’s favorite bed or litter box.
These familiar scents of home will help pets find their way back to you.
