My 5 month old kitten got out of the house sometime Tuesday evening. I took off Weds to look for her. I searched an area about 1 square mile. Placed flyers in mailboxes and on cars. Placed a flier in the local supermarket that has her picture, also in the local gas station. I live in Ohio and right now the temperature has a high of 80 degrees and we had a brief period of rain last night. The topography is a creek valley so there are some hills and some light woods.
I searched the neighborhoold top to bottom and did my best in the woods, but there is a thick brush. I placed some of her items out on the patio for her to recognize. I’m worried that since she is only 5 months she doesn’t have a strong sense of direction or survival skills. She is still clawed however. I’ve checked with the SPCA and she isn’t there, I also put an ad on craigslist. I’m doing everything, but no luck.
Do you think she can survive? Do you think she has the right skills to find her way home? What could I do to do a better job at finding her.
She always tries to get out, and when she does she stays close by.
