What was the escape route? Microchipped ? Get as many security camera footages as possible - from nearby buildings and inside the building. If unsure what the escape route is - first check your apartment in detail - furniture's, closets, any loose panels and under/behind AC. Also check furniture's that were moved - especially out of the apartment and contact moving company to check their truck. Check your building - roof, every floor, stairways, elevator shaft and bats. If escaped outside please follow these instruction so chances to get the kitty back are increased. Go immediately outside and call in the evening / early morning and if possible leave a scent from you nearby. Indoor cats normally stay close by if not threatened or chased , but indoor / outdoor cats are often traveling further away. PERSONAL NETWORKING is KEY to find your pet: Put FLYERS EVERYWHERE while SPEAKING to PEOPLE- include REWARD offer "REWARD $$$$" WITHOUT AMOUNT (at the beginning) in hallway of buildings, at vet clinics and other frequently visited public places around your area and also especially where are spaces/bats, yards to hide and it's warm and safe. Speak to supers/doormen, neighbors, mail carriers, garage clerks and people at public places personally, and contact feeders of CAT COLONIES and FEEDING STATIONS near by!!!!
