I'm so sorry about your kitty. Here are some tips that helped me find my little guy when he got out. My kitty got out in the middle of winter for 11 days. I put flyers out everywhere and some very nice friends of a friend of mine saw my flyers and said he was living under their outside stairs. Flyers work. Also I was told to go out at night when it's quiet and call your kitty calmly. They are scared when outside even if it's your voice they hear so shouting or calling loudly isn't recommended. Also using a flashlight while looking in garages and bushes helps. Cats eyes glow when a light beams on them. Shaking treat bags can help too. Don't do a litterbox that can attract dangerous animals that could hurt Kitty. You can do a piece of dirty laundry of yours that they can be attached too. One more thing also is to get a humane trap from a local shelter and put the smelliest food inside. Believe it or not KFC chicken has helped attract cats more than any food lol. Also cameras can help also to see if your baby comes around when you're not home. I wish you the best of luck and hope. 💜💜💜💜🍀

Call and visit your shelters and pounds. Someone could have picked your baby up. Also they can note that your kitty is missing and if she is turned in they will call you. It also doesn't hurt to call them often just in case.

We do not have your baby, however we recently took in a cat because a neighbor threatened to poison the cats in the neighborhood and a woman reached out to my daughter thinking he may be my daughters lost cat. After the woman told her the story about the neighbor putting poison out, my daughter agreed to foster him. He is a big boy and a snuggler and had been posted on the sheffield lake pages as found by the woman for a month because he was hanging around her house. He is litterbox trained, good with other cats and kids, a little fearful of dogs. He is not a great fit for us to foster because we have 3 large dogs.

I copy and paste my tips so I realize some of this might not apply. If you have a garage crack it enough so he can get in and out. Put out some food and water so he doesn’t go searching for it. Heated bowls if it’s getting cold. You can try shaking a bag of food or snapping a tab on a can, if he’s hungry enough he may come running. If you’re searching at night make sure you have a good flashlight. The light will make his eyes glow. Keep in mind cats like to stay in the shadows so they will walk close to or hug against buildings, homes, garages, bush lines etc to avoid being seen. If he’s never been out before he won’t go far. You can try putting out cat nip and a bell toy. If he finds it you may just hear the bell. Make sure to let your neighbors know and pass out flyers with all the information they need to get in touch with you including his picture. He’ll know your voice compared to others so keep that in mind as well. You should also get a trap and see if you can catch him that way. Some of the rescue shelters will loan them out. If you’re worried about the cold, you can build a cat shelter out of a tote or foam cooler. Just make sure you fill the shelter with straw not hay. Hay holds moisture. Also, ask your neighbors to check their garages and sheds to make sure he didn’t get stuck in there by mistake. I hope this helps and he comes home soon. cats are most active at dawn and dusk. 9pm or so and around 5:30am. Also, someone in another post recommended a cat chum line. You can look it up on google. As there is more to it, But here’s a bit of it. "Cat chum line" likely refers to a method used to attract cats, particularly lost or stray cats, using a scent trail or line of chum. This involves creating a path of strong-smelling substances like tuna, sardines, or even cat litter, leading back to a trap or a familiar area. The goal is to guide the cat back to safety or a place where it can be captured and returned home.
