​Some tips: 

​

If you have lost an animal - 

• Put out something that smells like you on your porch to help his/her nose find your scent.  This could be a blanket, jacket, pillow, etc. 

• Make flyers that are easy to read at a distance and post in the area where the animal was lost.

• If your cat is missing, put his/her litter box outside.  Look up in nearby trees; if a cat gets spooked, it may climb up a tree and get stuck.  If you see your cat in a tree, lean a ladder up against the tree and place "smelly" wet food (such as tuna or sardines) at the bottom of it.

• Contact your local county animal control.

• Check with Foothills Animal Shelter (Jefferson County)

• Post on Facebook lost & found groups, and NextDoor for your neighborhood.

• Alert your microchip company, if your animal is chipped.
