Not all this is necessary to find a lost cat. Most important: LED flashlight, trail cameras and a humane cat trap at least 30" long. Use the Lost Cat Kit as your guide to know which are best suited for your lost cat situation.
AVAILABLE FOR RENT
Equipment rental is available to help lost cat owners in the Atlanta area. All batteries and accessories are included with my lost cat equipment rentals.
NightVision Trail Cameras
Motion-triggered night vision cameras take photos 24/7 for invaluable info find to find your missing cat. Two recommended versions: The standard mini-trail cam uses an SD card you retrieve and take home to view the footage each morning. The SPYPOINT will send images directly to your cell phone 24/7 and comes with all the needed supplies. My favorite budget cam under $50 is this mini version above.
$10/day, $25 /week
Humane Trap for Cats
Most traps sold in stores are made for raccoons. Cats lean over the trip plate and eat without being captured. Cat traps are made especially for cats both in length and shape. TruCatch traps are the best and used by TNR cat trappers across the US but not always available, so Tomahawk cat traps are a good option and a little cheaper. I have and use both.
$20/week
RESEARCHED & TESTED
Pet detectives keep an arsenal of special equipment to find lost pets. I'm sharing what I have tried, tested and trust so you know the best of each category after using many brands & models over the years.
The gear I use most are my see-into-every-crevice 1,000-lumen spotlight, a set of wireless motion alerts, movement-activated night vision trail cameras, Tomahawk humane cat traps, packs of orange foam sheets to turn missing cat flyers intoattention-grabbing "lost cat posters," and the Bionic Ear amplified listening device (to hear meows in those inaccessible garages, sheds and crawlspaces).
The more expensive high-tech items that are not essential but definitely nice to have are: a night vision monocular and infrared thermal detection unit.
You can rent most of these items directly from me, or have them delivered using the Amazon links.
