If your lost pet is an indoor cat, it is most likely frightened and hiding very close to home. Keep cat food outside near your home, and check all possible hiding places within a 1/2-mile of your home. You may decide to try a live cat trap, which can be purchased for $40 or less from Tractor Supply, a local feed store, or hardware store.
If your lost pet is an outdoor cat or a dog, you need to spread your search wider. Post flyers all around the area your pet was last seen, but also post flyers around your community, including veterinary offices, boarding facilities, groomers, and pet stores.
Check at the Southern Brazoria County Animal Shelter every two or three days, and fill out a Lost Pet form to post on our bulletin board. When you are at our shelter, ask for our list of other shelters in the area, so that you can check all possible places that your pet may have been taken.
