Indoor cats do not go far, maybe 1 to 2 houses away but it’s important you check all bushes, hiding places and only say her name, do not yell her name. Use your indoor voice when calling her. Also, her personality will reflect how she reacts to you outside. For instance, my cat is aloof indoors so it became magnified outside. I had a hard time trying to get her and after over 30 days, I had to trap her. She was upset but once home, she was fine. All the best to you. Shared.

Aww so beautiful! ❤️. I know you must be so scared. If you haven’t already, my suggestion would be to post on Next Door for additional visibility, especially in neighborhood/complex and local area. Also, please post visible signs in your neighborhood/complex for those who don’t have access to these other platforms, and to grab attention of foot traffic of those walking their pets. Please visit Animal Control in person and give them your kitty's information and picture, along with your information -and call any local vet clinics in case someone has found your kitty. He/She is most likely scared and hiding nearby, so hopefully you can leave out food (something smelly like sardines and mackerel, along with regular food by itself) and something familiar to with kitty's scent, so it attracts her back like a bed, blanket or something with your scent on it. The other suggestion would be to get a Ring or Blink camera that sends notifications to your phone. Your kitty might be coming out/back at night and hiding during the day. Hang in there. Don’t give up! Keep sharing, including of Facebook Lost/Found Groups! 🐈❤️🙏

Hope this helps. Watch a tip video on youtube about how to find your lost cat,there are several. Also, and the sooner the better,put out something of yours for scent, putting out the litter box is not recommended as it attracts unwanted critters that could possibly scare your cat off again. Look with flashlight early a.m. or late at night, calling and shaking food. That part is so important because those are the quiet hours and your cat would be more prone to coming out of hiding. Maybe put up flyers too. If you get any sightings use a trap, sometimes you can borrow from animal control or Amazon has them. Dont give up too soon , i had one gone for weeks and as i was about to give up, and I found her. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 and shared.
