Any pet, same simple poster
Choose "Other" and type the animal: rabbit, cockatiel, tortoise, ferret. The headline becomes MISSING RABBIT or MISSING TORTOISE and shrinks to fit when the word is long, without ever running past the margin. Everything else works the same: a photo, a few details, your number.
Tips for animals that are not cats or dogs
Every species hides in its own way. Use the note line to tell neighbors where to look.
- Rabbits: they freeze and hide under hedges, decks and dense bushes. Ask people to check low and quiet spots at dawn and dusk.
- Birds: they go up, not out. Ask people to look at rooftops and tall trees, and to listen for a familiar whistle or call.
- Tortoises and turtles: slower than you think is possible, and very good at burrowing. Check garden beds, compost heaps and under leaves.
- Ferrets and small mammals: they squeeze into tiny gaps. Ask neighbors to check garages, wood piles and under sheds.
Microchips in the UK and elsewhere
In England, dogs have had to be microchipped since 2016, and cats since June 2024. Report your pet missing on the database it is registered with, and check your phone number is current. In Australia, update your state pet registry. In the US and Canada, call the microchip company directly; your vet can look up which one holds the chip.
