Lost Cat Poster Generator

How to make a lost cat poster that gets noticed

• Use one clear photo. Pick a recent picture where the face, colour and markings are easy to see. A cropped close-up works better than a wide shot.
• Keep the words short. People read posters from a distance or while walking past. The headline, photo, area and phone number should be readable in a few seconds.
• Say where and when. A street or landmark and a day help neighbours remember whether they saw your cat.
• Describe what makes your cat different. A collar, a bent ear, a white patch. If your cat is shy, say so, so people know not to chase it.
• Leave out your home address. A phone number is enough. Only offer a reward if you are happy to be contacted about it.

Where to put your posters

• Around the place your cat was last seen, then outward street by street.
• Shop windows, vet clinics, pet stores, community boards and building lobbies, with permission.
• At eye level, and in a plastic sleeve if rain is likely.
• Share the PDF in local social media groups and neighbourhood chats too.
