Coat markings clearly visible

When your cat is gone
The first steps — calmly, one at a time
-
Step 01
Check the area & hiding spots
Cats often hide very close by. Search garages, cellars, sheds and bushes in the immediate area — ideally at dusk when it's quiet, and call for them softly.
-
Step 02
Create the poster & report it
Create and print the missing poster here. Notify nearby shelters, vets and the lost-and-found office — and ask your immediate neighbors to check their sheds and garages.
Step 03
Put it up & share online
Put it up around your home and share it in local groups. The optional QR code on the poster lets finders call you directly with one scan.
Tip: put their usual food or the litter box outside — the familiar smell often guides outdoor cats back home.

What matters on a cat missing poster
02 Vicinity
Stay close to home
Missing cats are usually found within a few houses. Put the posters up close around your home — lampposts, building entrances, the supermarket around the corner.
03 Contact
Number large, reward optional
The phone number is the most important thing — the generator displays it large. A reward can be an extra incentive, but it's not a must.
Questions & answers
Cat missing — common questions
My cat is gone — what do I do first?
First search the immediate area: garages, cellars, sheds and bushes. Cats usually stay nearby. Notify your neighbors, the shelter and vets, and create a missing poster here for the streets around your home.
How do I create the poster?
Add a photo, fill in the details (color, coat markings, distinguishing features, last known location) and enter your number. The poster appears instantly in the preview; then download it as a PDF and print it. Free and without sign-up.
When is the best time to search?
At dusk and at night, when it's quiet — that's when shy cats are more likely to venture out. Call softly, rattle the food tin, and pause to stay quiet and listen every so often.
What happens to my photo?
It stays on your device. The poster is created entirely locally in your browser — no upload, no account.
