Thank you! I will check out the links. Some neighbors and contractors across the hollow next to Washington Park think they may have seen her. We are headed back to that area before dusk to see if we can find her. Fingers crossed it is her and she will come when called. I really appreciate all the recommendations and good thoughts doing to us.

These links have good info: https://www.branford-ct.gov/DocumentCenter/View/104/Lost-Cat-Behavior-PDF?bidId= . https://bestfriends.org/pet-care-resources/how-find-lost-cat-tips-pet-detective . This video provides helpful guidelines for finding a lost cat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2eCoC63B9I Additional suggestions: - Create Entry Points: If/when possible, leave a door, window, or garage door a bit open. - Alert Neighbors: Ask them to check garages, sheds, under porches and shrubs. - Search Carefully: Check hiding spots in your yard as well as under cars, up in trees, etc. Search particularly in early morning and late at night. Search indoors too, in case the cat is stuck somewhere inside. - Spread the Word: Put up flyers and post on lost and found online sites like Multnomah County Animal Services and PawBoost. Also, keep checking the found cat listings on these websites. - Ask local delivery services (ex., postal, FedEx, UPS) to keep an eye out. The website https://lostmykitty.com/ will send notices to multiple area veterinary clinics. - Microchip: If the cat is microchipped, update their status to "lost" with the provider. - Trapping: If the cat is indoor-only or in an unfamiliar area, they may be hiding and require a humane trap. The Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon (feralcats.com) provides trapping instructions in their resources section. Animal Aid loans traps for a refundable deposit. For the cat’s safety, monitor the trap anytime it is activated, don’t leave it unattended or overnight. I hope you get your kitty back soon.

Check in bushes and under cars near your home, and on the next street over, especially in the evening with a flashlight, calling out to her and making a familiar sound. Ask neighbors if they might have seen her, and when they last did and which direction she headed if they have. If they have security cameras, video footage would help. Ask them if she might be trapped in their garage or shed. I hope she is found soon🙏🏻

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 and will often come back in on their own .. 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 .. basement 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 she doesn’t come home today, you need to walk around your neighborhood in the middle of the night when it’s quiet and call her name if you hear me meowing in a garage it’s possibly her I just found mine. She was gone for five days! Only like five houses away from me trapped in a garage. I am grateful and I hope you find Luna like I found Juno.🙏
