All the cats in my house are indoor cats, but somehow, two weeks ago, our Maine coon, Sabrina, got out. Sadly, we couldn’t locate her before she was hit by a car and killed. We were devastated and felt like utter failures as pet owners.

In the few days before she was found, we tried a dozen different tactics to track her down. It was a crash course in lost pet protocols. If we couldn’t save Sabrina, maybe what we learned can help save your beloved pet. Here are some tips that can hopefully bring a furry family member home.
