Your kitty is likely hiding nearby. Post flyers. Cross-post on petfbi and Nextdoor. Check with neighbors (including their cameras). Keep checking social media, shelters, police, vets.
** Time is of the essence, for finding your lost cat. **
Your cat is probably nearby.
Indoor cats usually find a hiding spot very quickly, and very close to where they escaped.
Look up in the trees, and check under everything in YOUR YARD first… under decks, bushes, wood piles and sheds.
Then check your neighbors yards.
The best time to find your cat is at night, with a flashlight, when their eyes glow back at you.
***If your cat is scared, it will not respond to you calling him/her, so you'll have to use your eyes instead of your ears. ***
***When inside cats are suddenly outside, they can go into "survival mode,” and their entire personality changes.***
They, generally, will NOT wander. At least, not at first. (Unless they are not neutered/spayed.)
Make sure to leave food and fresh water outside, in case they come out of hiding at night. Canned tuna (packed in oil) is nice and smelly.
Also, a piece of your "worn" clothing, with your scent on it left outside, along with their bedding, with their scent on it, will definitely help.
And, if you have a container or bag of treats that they really like.. shake it outside for your cat to hear.
Also, leave your garage door or a window open a few inches in case it comes back at night. (5-7 inches.)
[A special consideration in the cold weather, is to please CHECK UNDER THE HOOD of your vehicle! Oftentimes, a cat, especially an indoor only one, will seek out shelter or warmth in the engine area of your car. Do not start your vehicle, until you’ve checked! It is oftentimes fatal to your feline!]
Hoping you find your cat very soon! ♥️
