Try these general search tips and all may not apply in your exact situation. Search at night w/ a flashlight (eyes will glow). Check up in trees and inside/under things in your yard and up to 3 - 4 houses away. Search garages, sheds, under decks and bushes, in crawl spaces, behind AC units - any place the cat might be trapped or hiding. Many cats go into hiding mode for safety and won't come when they hear their owner's voice but try calling and try either shaking a can/bag of treats or carrying an open (smelly) can of cat food or fish. Put something w/ the cat's scent on the porch (cat bed, scratching post, sofa pillows). Keep your garage door up enough to allow entry. Keep fresh bowls of water out. Put up large missing cat posters (neon poster board works well), talk to neighbors (leave info for those not home), post on all local social media groups and make sure to check with local animal control at least once a week (better to go in person but at least call and send them a photo). If not found at night with a flashlight, go out during early morning, before dawn, as many cats are active around that time. If not found in a few days, you can always buy a humane cat trap but traps *must* be checked multiple times each day, every day. If the cat is micro-chipped, please make sure the chip company has your updated contact information. And even if the cat has a chip, you still need to check with animal control as chips sometimes are overlooked or migrate down. Best of luck!

Lost Cat: if not back yet, perhaps can these tips be of help. Check with Animal Control/Animal Shelter in person, may need to be more than once. Put out some unlaundered clothing from his/her favorite person. Then, at dawn and dusk, when it is calm and quiet, go outside and softly call for him/her while carrying their favorite food. Do not call them if you see them. Assume a low position, blink slowly as that says “friendly, no threat”, and carry their favorite stinky food. Look in every nook and cranny inside, in pump houses, sheds, garages, play houses, and up in trees. If you have a garage, keep the door up 5-6” and put the cat bed inside about 4-5’. Also put some stinky food he likes in there. They usually stay close to home. Put up neon flyers with picture and contact info. Hope he/she is back soon!
