Help! Missing Feline?

What to do if your cat goes missing

All pet owners soon get to know their animal’s natural habits. So when they don’t come home near the expected times the warning signs go up. If your cat does go missing you should telephone all the agencies listed below. You should also put notices/flyers around your own area, notifying people that he/she is missing, and a description of the cat they need to look out for. You need to ask people to check their garages and sheds, most will do so if asked, but few will think to look themselves.

Your cat needs to be able to get back into the house if he/she comes back at night or when you are away from the house. A cat flap is obviously the best way of providing access for your cat at all times.
