Help! LOSt cat after move

Hello!
I’ve just moved areas on Wednesday and have kept my cat in since until she gets used to her new surroundings and until I get her microchip address changed.
She’s been unsettled since the move and has been crying to go out :-(
Last night I thought I’d shut all the windows but stupidly I’d left kitchen window ajar - only a little but enough for cat to get through
This morning I’ve woken up and no sign of her :-( I’m hoping she’s just enjoying the sun and will return when she’s hungry. But I can’t help but worry she’s lost or has tried to return to old address
Just hoping for a bit of reassurance really that my fluffy friend will be home!!

Oh dear. Are you a long way from your old address. She will probably be back. You will need to leave food outside your house, as well as something that smells of her.

If she's not back by tomorrow then go on a leafleting campaign of the neighbours. It's generally the best way to find missing cats.

Yes quite a long way away :-( going to put some of her litter in garden I think
Would feel better even if I just got a sighting of her so I knew she was safe
Will try the neighbours tomorrow if no sign of her! Thanks

Any sign of her today? Sorry this has happened. Put some posters up and register her with lost pets online. One of your neighbours might have taken her in. Is she friendly or wary of people?

How awful Sad

Can you pop some leaflets through your neighbours letter boxes asking them to keep a look out? Also worth checking with the local vets and shelters just in case.

Assume cat is microchiped?

FluffySlippers21 · 07/05/2018 17:25

She’s home!!
i went on another reckie to see if I could spot her and she came running towards me! Poor thing think she had gotten lost as she seemed very relieved to see me! Home now having scoffed her food and snoozing on bed. Will definitely be more careful with windows in future.

Is microchipped but can’t change chip address until tomoz as of bank holiday :-( teaches me to make sure it’s first thing I do in future!

Fab. So lovely that she spotted you. Did she let out a big holler?!Smile

FluffySlippers21 · 07/05/2018 19:28

@want2beme not quite a hollar but her eyes definitely lit up! 😆 she even let me carry her home which is unheard of for her!
