If you're able to create and hang your own giant posters, visit area vets and shelters, and distribute hand flyers to neighbors while getting their permission for me to bring equipment and search their yards and sheds, the rate for a two hour search is $250.
You obviously care a lot about your cat if you're here seeking professional advice based on the science of lost cat behavior. I've studied thousands of cases of lost cats: what missing cats do, how they travel, and what works to get them found.
This is not something the general understands how to do. It only makes sense to hire a professional or, at the very least, watch my tutorial video, How to Find a Lost Cat.

Take a color photo of your lost cat. Don't rely on lost and found pet websites, recordings or even a person on the phone. These folks are busy and make mistakes. Do it in person--or hire me to make the rounds. Check Craigslist for "Lost & Found cat" listings.

- Please-- do not give up on your search for your lost cat! Too many cats end up at shelters because people give up too soon or don't understand the right way to search as outlined in my ebook here.
Many of these lost and never found cats end up in cages, forlorn and confused because the lost cat got brave or desperate enough to approach a stranger who then assumed it was a stray and took to AAC. Below is Esa, a sweet, obviously former pet who was found in Bastrop and brought in as an assumed stray.
If your cat has been missing a while:
Never assume, and don't give up too soon!
