Help us find our lost cat PLEASE!!!

^^^ great advice. Also, knock on all your neighbors doors with a flier and ask them to keep an eye out for your cat in their backyard areas and basements. Scared cats have been known to somehow get through the hatches and seek shelter down there.

From the Pet Board:

Don't *only* use this forum. While posting here has helped a lot of people find homes for pets, it's hardly the most highly-trafficked place online for this sort of thing. Please also post about your pet to Petfinder.com:

FIDO maintains a page of local lost/found http://www.fidobrooklyn.org/rescue/adoption.html

There are also some photo pools on Flickr you should post to, including:

If you must give up a pet before you've found a home for it, please consider a no-kill shelter. The closest one I know of is BARC in Williamsburg:

Another possibility is the Little Shelter in Huntington, on Long Island:

And Petfinder keeps a searchable database of other shelters and animal rescue groups here:
