A missing-cat search should begin close to the last confirmed location and adapt to the cats routine and credible sightings.
Start with the home and immediate area
- Check quiet, enclosed and elevated hiding places without assuming the cat will respond to calls.
Adjust for the cats routine
- Use known habits and the last confirmed location; do not present a universal search radius as fact.
Coordinate sightings
- Record time, place and direction of each credible sighting and update one central alert.
