Please read till the end..Walk around calling your cat as you always do. Look under bushes and in hiding places. Look at dawn and dusk with a flashlight to catch the glare of your cat's eyes. Leave garage door and lanai partially open if possible. Your cat will try to get back inside ..most likely at night. Use a trap...The only way to find his way home.or to the trap is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside and around the trap. A friend of mine used her shirt and dragged it through the neighborhood. Her cat found the smell and followed it home. It is all about the smell. You can also cut a shirt of yours into small small pieces and leave a scent trail back to the trap. I read a few days ago that a lady put out a trace with the old litter throughout the neighborhood. It worked. Her cat came home! Use the litter to lead your cat to the trap. Also try to distribute flyers throughout that neighborhood...as many as you can ( 3 miles radius at least). Check shelters in person...don't just call. Put battery operated trail cameras outside. Your cat might show up in the middle of the night. When you know the time you can wait for for your cat and slow blink to make contact. NEVER GIVE UP! I read once that you can put a chair outside and cover it up with a blanket and the cat can jump up and hide under the blanket and feels safe. They said you should put one of your shirts under the blanket and food and water next to the chair. It might be worth a try to put up a chair

Get colorful posters up QUICK! Put out stinky food in a bowl on top of a plate of water to keep the ants away(this idea was given to me by the local cat sanctuary guy). It’s best to feed at dusk and dawn because it’s quiet and cats are most active at those times. Put out large posters of your cat in front of your house and in the area where your kitty went missing, cats are usually within a five house radius of where they went missing. Do not give up looking, go out in the early evening and early morning when it’s quiet and call his/her name, put out a piece of his/her bedding but, don’t put out a litter box, it is more likely to get other critters and not him/her. Check the Humane Society in Cocoa, the SPCA in Titusville and Animal Control Shelter in Melbourne in person, just in case he/she was brought in, do not trust their website, they don’t always have the ability to post every animal that comes in. My Miles was missing for 16 days and he was less than a block away and being fed by some wonderful neighbors. He was found because of my signs and talking to people in my neighborhood, if they were breathing I was talking to them. I also printed up flyers with Miles picture and put them on mailboxes. If you do know where your kitty is and it’s been spotted you can borrow a live trap or box trap for a small donation from Space Coast Feline Network, https://www.facebook.com/SpaceCoastFelineNetwork/ All my best that your baby comes home soon, they usually do not go far, their instincts just kick in and may not come home immediately. Get out and talk to people in your neighborhood and DON’T GIVE UP.

Escaped cats often hide close to home but may be too scared to come when called. Be sure to check all possible hiding spots around the outside of your home. If you go out after dark, you can use a flashlight to look for kitty eyeshine. Also, post on Nextdoor. Good luck! 🍀

Leave something outside that has his or your scent on it. Look after dark with a flashlight, for glowing eyes. Put up signs in your neighborhood. Check at the shelter on Eau Gallie.
