What should I include on a lost cat poster?

Include a clear photo, your cat's name, distinctive markings (color, size, breed), last known location, date missing, your contact phone number, and reward information if offered. Keep the text large and readable from a distance.

Where should I post lost cat flyers?

Post at eye level on community boards, vet clinics, pet stores, grocery stores, laundromats, and mailbox posts. Focus on your neighborhood and areas your cat might travel. Get permission before posting on private property.

How many lost cat posters should I make?

Start with 50-100 posters for your immediate neighborhood. Expand the search area if needed. Replace weathered posters every few days. Consider both large posters for poles and smaller flyers for bulletin boards.

What paper size is best for lost cat posters?

US Letter (8.5" x 11") is the most common and works well for posting on poles and boards. Half-page flyers (5.5" x 8.5") are good for bulletin boards and handouts. A4 is ideal for international use.
