Place a trap in the area where the cat was last seen. Create scent trails on the grass and ground leading to the trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when the cat is in the trap. Get a towel and rub it with your dirty laundry, blankets, socks, or anything else with the scent of home. (Do not use kitty litter.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag the towel from the areas where you think the cat might be, creating scent trails leading to the trap. You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will. Load the trap with a little cat food or chicken, enough to attract the cat from the trail that leads up to it. Rely on the scent trails to get your cat to the trap. Rain and snow will wash away the scent trails, so you’ll have to drag again afterwards. Also, it might help to renew the trails every couple days. Important: . Never leave a trap unattended, always keep an eye on it, checking it every 1/2 hour in person or with a trail cam. It should be positioned close to where the cat escaped or was last seen. . Trail cam photos and videos are marked with time stamps, helpful to know if and when the cat shows up but doesn’t go into the trap.

She might try going back to your former residence if it’s not far away.

***Very important ….for sightings Flyers are effective in getting the message out about your missing animal . Many people aren’t on Facebook; don't know about local lost and found Facebook pages, etc. so cover all your bases. Post flyers everywhere …. Put on mailboxes / under door mats .. and polls in your surrounding area in at least a three block radius in case someone sees or starts feeding your animal or sees them on their ring/camera. Also give one to the mail person … they’re in your area each day and might have a sighting. Ask neighbors to check their yards … Knock on doors ….ask for help. Also post on Neighbor app / Ring and any social media sites available in your surrounding area for lost and found animals. Sent from my iPad

A few general suggestions … for indoor cats …. Leave a reentry door (realize it may be impossible) but if you know how s/he got out, maybe you can open it slightly) ….. often they return to where they escaped. Leave a scent trail with your unwashed clothes/socks/slipper or a blanket used on your deck. S/He’s likely close by and more likely to return when it’s dark and quiet outside or when s/he feels safe. They’re frightened and in survival mode. Check cameras, if you have them, to see if s/he’s returning at night when quiet. Ask neighbors to do the same. Indoor kitties usually stay close to home. Check under your deck or anywhere s/he might hide …. look in sheds, garages and basements. Gently talk to s/he while searching. Don’t scream or yell, it might frighten them even though it’s your voice. The cat could have gotten stuck in a shed or garage taking refuge and unable to get out. Go door to door and ask if anyone has seen her. Flyers are essential .. give them to neighbors in at least a 3 block radius. Sent from my iPhone
