Sarah VanDyke, You are very welcome! For the trap I found that if you use newspaper and fold long ways to fit the length of the trap so that it covers the flap they step on ,, that way they don't step over it .. before you side the paper in place some tuna or mackerel on a small piece of paper plate or cardboard so that it is all the way to the back and set the trap! Am sure the neighbor can help! Hope that Penelope is back home safe soon!

Dianne Banton Thank you. I am trying to read all the tips and try each of them. A neighbor offered to loan a trap, so I will have to learn about how to use it as I have no experience with this sort of thing. I appreciate all of the suggestions.

Call softly late night early morning when it quite out .. For indoor cat if there is any way you could leave your door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out .. cats will hide during the day and are more active late evening near dark to early morning , daybreak ... have a spot light to shine to see eyes in the dark .. they are usually close by and will often come back to the door .. or hide under bushes or decks to feel safe ! Also check crawl spaces under houses , garages, sheds of neighbors nearby ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and under car hoods and tires also ...this can happen and they could be miles from home . Cats in a new home may and will travel to get back to their old home .. A set trap may be needed and monitored! Trail cam help to monitor the areas! Post to Nextdoor ... Check with area Shelters, Animal Control, and Vets offices also put flyers ... Am sure you have tried most all of these! Don't give up!!
