If she is an indoor only cat, or new to an area, she is hiding very nearby where she was last seen. The good news is indoor cats are always found you just need to look everywhere! Look very quietly and discreetly with a flashlight even during the day. If you think she could be hiding inside look in fireplaces, under furniture, behind appliances, in closets, drawers and cupboards. Then broaden your search outside. Look under bushes, cars, carports, porches and decks. Look along buildings and fence lines too. Put out dirty laundry and other familiar scents outside ASAP with water and bedding. Don’t leave food out so you don’t attract other animals.. Look for her anywhere she could hunker down in or under. Put flyers on neighbors porches asking them to check their property throughly for anywhere she could be hiding in case she slipped out of your yard. Ask neighbors to check security cameras too! Look inside sheds and garages too. Post on Nextdoor and file a lost report with the shelter . Hope you find your kitty soon . Just don’t stop looking everywhere .
Our daughters cat slipped out of her house and hid almost two weeks until we saw her on security cameras. Every time she opened the door her cat would flee! We finally set a humane cat trap near the porch and monitored it from a distance with a security camera and caught her within a few hours. If she continues to hide, set the trap in the early morning hours. You could also try putting her food inside the house with a door open only if you are hiding nearby and see if she will run in on her own. You will find her, just don’t stop looking. If she is microchipped, file a lost report with the microchip company and make sure contact info is current. Hope you find her safe soon
