Lost main coon

WEVE FOUND ARNIE!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES AND HELP!! WE POSTED NEW LEAFLETS ASKING PEOPLE TO CHECK AGAIN AS WE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO THOUGH THEY SEEN HIM AND TO RING DAY OR NIGHT AND AT 1AM A LADY SAID SHE'D FOUND HIM!! Has anyone got any tips, my
Beutifull handsome 10month old red coon Arnie has pushed his way out the outdoor cats flap, it's a new door that was
Meant to keep the main coons in, we have 3, and the 2 moggies with special discs could get out, but during last night I realized arnie wasn't asleep with me. And to my horror he's got out and were frantic! We've posted leaflets all around our area and notified his microchip company and local vets and RSPCA, and I'm frantic now he's a huge softy who loves everyone and hasn't been out any further than their garden run on his own, any tips much appreciated. Thanks lyn

I can't imagine what you are going through right now :(
You have pretty much done everything I would do in the same situation. Have you been around all the neighbours to ask if he's got himself shut in a shed/garage?

Could put out ads on gumtree and other sites?

Oh you poor thing what an awful situation to be in, I would nearly lay a bet on him not being too far away,the odd time my first couple managed to make it to the wrong side of the house they stuck really close to home & also when a friends escaped we spent hours going round in the dark calling him spreading the circle wider & wider & were just about to give up but as a last ditch effort swung the torch round the neighbours garden again & there he sat on the draincover looking bewildered & wondering what all the fuss was about.I would go along with Mick B's suggestion,hit all the neighbours,print off a load of leaflets with his picture on & mail drop them into as many peoples letterboxes as you possibly can,fingers crossed that you can soon post that he is home safely with you...x

Go out in the evening when it's quiet and walk around the area and call for him.
When Meme lived at the warehouse where I worked she got shut out one night when I wasn't there to look after her.
I posted the area and came back in the evening and called for her, I heard her faint squeaky Meow coming form the bushes across the street from my warehouse.
I went over there calling for her and she eventually came out very glad to see her Papa, I took her back to our warehouse fed her and spent some time with her.
Shortly afterward at Christmas time I took her home to live with me even though my apartments didn't allow pets.
Spent the remainder of her life living with me as my outlaw kitty.

Google Animal Search UK (sorry can't post links from android *nudges Dave*) They have volunteers who look out for pets all over the country. Ring your local radio station and ask them to put an announcement out, ours has a petline and puts messages about lost pets out after the news. If you can shut your other coonies away and unlock cat flap as he may find his way home under cover of darkness, maybe leave a little food and something of yours with your smell on outside so puss can find it and know is safe. Lots of door knocking, posters on lamp posts etc. Please keep us posted and fingers crossed for safe return x

I went out in front of my house and for the first time I realized that the stairs in front were hollow and that there was a small entrance underneath! I saw his sad glowing eyes and pulled him out. He was filthy, trembling and had cried himself hoarse. We lived on a busy street so if he had been crying I likely wouldn't have heard him anyway during the day. I'm pretty sure he panicked and hid underneath the stairs the whole time. Look everywhere you could imagine that he could cram himself and don't expect him to come running when he hears you if he's been frightened...best of luck...

That's so sad, glad you found him.
A lot of time indoor kitties that get out will go to ground and just hide until you find them and could very likely be very close.

I really feel for you, I hope that you find him soon x

Any news yet? Just another couple of ideas you could get your local paper to put something on their facebook and Twitter feeds. And if you post a picture on here we can all cross post it on other boards that we go on to help get more people looking.

Awww! I hope he comes home soon. My friends persian 'got out' a couple of weeks ago and he was an indoor cat. She went out calling for him every evening and lo and behold about 4 nights later she heard a weak meeow in the distance. He was a couple of streets away under a bush. Don't give up hope he's probably not far away.
