YES. I was tossing out some old things and she was spooked by the guy next to me and jumped out the window that I didn't realize was down. I'm sick with worry!

🚨🚨🚨WARNING🚨🚨🚨 SCAMMERS will claim they found your cat! Or will tell you about a (FAKE) INSTAGRAM Pet recovery service they used - OR WILL SHOW YOU an AI (FAKE) photo of your cat - these are SCAMMERS!!! SCAMMERS will text you saying they’re affiliated with Pawboost or an ANIMAL SHELTER and that they HAVE YOUR CAT and that YOU need to PROVE who you are by giving other phone numbers, your email, verifying google codes etc or to send money to get your cat from the shelter. These are all SCAMMERS! THEY WON'T Send you a PHOTO of your cat (they'll make up any excuse) OR THEY'LL SEND a PHOTO of a similar cat OR AN AI FAKE PHOTO - or a blurry video - but it’s not your cat! Look closely. Google the photo they send it could be a photo they stole from the internet. Please know that If your actual neighbor sees or has your cat they will give you information freely (and will post a PHOTO on your listing and not make you ‘send a code or personal information or money. 🚨🚨🚨There’s a NEW SCAM they will call you saying they are animal care and control and that your cat was brought in but got hit by a car and needs an operating then they will ask you for payment - THIS IS A SCAM!!!! Animal care and control would NEVER ask for money 🚨🚨🚨 ASK TO FACETIME ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE YOUR CAT (TO PROVE THEY HAVE YOUR CAT) AND THEY ARE ASKING YOU FOR A $ REWARD.

LOOK AT THEIR FACEBOOK PROFILE - you may see many (PAID) followers but they are not following anyone, The profile will have a few photos only, usually just selfies and the profile was created not long ago. You will see no posts / conversations with friends , I report the account to Facebook Scammers are heartless

I’m so sorry your sweet kitty is missing. Have you already put out something with your scent like a dirty shirt or blanket that you use? Cats have stronger noses than dogs so it may help her find her way home. If she an indoor kitty she will be close to home hunkered down. She will find the smallest space to fit in if she’s scared. Get her favorite food and call her. She might not come out the first night out of fear. Try again the next day. It took one of my cats 3 days to come out of his hiding place. He could hear me but was too scared to move or meow. Please clink on this link she has helped find hundreds of missing cats bot indoor only abd indoor/outdoor at: www.happycatlady.com Also notify the Animal Care and Control in case they have her or received a call. Knock on neighbors doors in case they’ve seen her including the other side of the block if it’s possible she went into another backyard with street access. Keep calling her at all hours especially the odd hours at night and early morning when it’s quiet. She might not be far away, just too scared to move if something’s spooked her. Cats are excellent at hiding in small spaces. Check with neighbors and post flyers in case someone has brought her inside. Also if you haven’t already post on Nextdoor I’ve noticed there are really nice neighbors who help in out looking for your kitty. It’s recommended to use a camera/ring motion sensor thing to capture the cat eating with a trap, but only when you can watch the camera due to predators . I had two cats (different cats different decades) get out & both times they were super close to home just a few feet away, but scared stiff and chose to hunker down even though they could hear me. So keep looking & maybe knock in a couple doors in case kitty’s trapped. They do love to explore and sometimes that ends up with them being lost or trapped. Also check the surrounding buildings including their attics. Talk to the maintenance men. A while back someone found their cat after several weeks bcs kitty was in an attic of another building & the maintenance man found the cat. I hope she waltz’s in like nothings wrong.

I'm So sorry you haven't found her yet - she's there hiding scared...Keep calling for he early morning and especially LATE NIGHT ...continue putting out WET food nightly where you lost her with that trail camera aimed at sunset...ONLY wet food in a bowl then plaec the bowl on a deep plate or larger bowl add water to the outer bowl to prevent ants. place the trail camera 1 foot away from the food bowl near where she jumped out of teh car window as we've discussed. Do not stop ddoing this nightly...if you are up now before sunrise do that now too! xoxoxo. Don't rely on pawboost posts - you know you must find her in person - she's around there hiding ...continue to flyer in person and talk to every business there so all employees are aware ... BUY a trail camera if you haven't already - https://a.co/d/0jeIpbW0 xoxoxoxo
