What To Do If Your Cat Is Missing

1. Call and report your cat as missing right away:

  • Kenora Cat Shelter: (807) 468-4648

  • Kenora Veterinary Clinic: (807) 468-7441

  • City of Kenora Bylaw: (807) 467-2166

Reporting your cat means that if a cat matching their description comes into their care, they can contact you as soon as possible.

2. Search nearby - inside and outside!

  • Check inside your home under beds, inside closets and other small spaces.

  • Check outside under decks, boats, cars, sheds and other quiet hiding spots.

  • Your cat is usually much closer than you think!

3. If your cat is microchipped - contact the microchip company and make sure your information is current.

  • Remember to always update this if you move addresses or change your phone number!

4. Get the word out online and around the neighbourhood:

  • Post a photo on Facebook and local lost-pet groups

  • Put posters up around town

  • Tell your neighbours

  • The more eyes looking, the better!

5. Borrow a live trap from us!

  • Scared cats, especially cats who aren't used to being outside, may hide during the day and only come out at night when things are quiet.

  • A live trap can greatly increase your chances of safely catching them.
