I’m sorry you lost your cat. We found a small female in the Great Neck area. No one is claiming her. She is very friendly lives attention and is a great overnight visitor unfortunately my husband is allergic to cats so we are looking for a new home for her. I’m sure this can’t be your cat but just wanted to double check

Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite out .. Might wait in between to see if you hear them meow nearby .... For indoor cats if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out .. If you didn't see them get out check deep dresser drawers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, under beds in box springs, behind the frig, the stove, behind or under the sofa, under or in the recliner the washer/dryer or inside if left open .. bat crawl space .. attic .. anywhere small or behind a cat can hide they will! If out cats will hide during the day and are more active late evening near dark to early morning , daybreak ... have a spot light to shine to see eyes in the dark .. they are usually close by and will often come back to the door .. or hide under bushes or decks to feel safe ! Also check crawl spaces under houses , garages, sheds of neighbors nearby ...No food out after dark it will attract area strays and wildlife to the area ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and colder weather they will get under car hoods for warmth and on tires also ...this can happen and they could be miles from home . Cats in a new home need at least 30 days to adjust to a new area and may and will travel to get back to their old home .. In some cases a set trap may be needed and monitored! A Trail cam or night vision goggles can help to monitor the areas outside! Post to Nextdoor Ask neighbors to check their Ring Doorbells... Beware of loose and roaming dogs in the area as they will chase and your cats! For automatic garage doors please place a 6x6 block or cinder block so that the door will not come all the way down and trap your pet as they can be injured! Check with area Shelters, Animal Control, and Vets offices also put flyers ... Am sure you have tried most all of these! Don't give up!!

If you haven’t already filed, I’m missing cat report with a Virginia Beach animal shelter. Visit in person to see if she’s there. There are a lot of black cats missing so after your first visit, don’t call and ask if they’ve got her. Most indoor cats don’t stray more than 5 to 7 houses from their own. Print flyers with your cats picture and your contact information on it and take them around to your neighbors. Ask them to call if they see her. Ask him if they have been in their shed since she went missing a cat will go in the shed because it is dark and quiet and then get locked in when the owner close the door. You cannot hear cat crying to get out of a shed unless you’re standing right next to the shed. Look under porches and decks and under your own house. Tonight walk through your front yard quietly with a bag of kitty treats and a flashlight. Shake the kitty treats bag, and quietly call her call her name. Use the flashlight to look in the bushes to see if you see your cat.
