Message to owner: Please put outside something you just wore like a t-shirt, kitties have great sense of smell, she may smell her way back. Please also check with the local shelter in case she is there and check often and preferably in person, sometimes they don´t give right information over the phone and additionally you can check the web page 24petconnect (which connects you to your local shelter), you just need to enter your zip code and you can also submit a Lost Pet report there. Check with local vets, you never know if someone took it there injured or sick, talk to your neighbors, post flyers preferably with a picture and give one to your mailman, post a flyer in the windows of your car specially the rear window, post one in your closest Petco or Petsmart, call her name specially at night and go out looking for her, look in the bushes with a flashlight which will reflect her eyes. You can also post her in Craigslist Lost and Found, in the web pages 24petconnect, in 3retrievers, pawboost, nextdoor, Lostmykitty, findingrover, in MyLostPetAlert, and in the Facebook pages for lost and found pets. If your kitty is not spayed and she comes back, please have her spayed asap in case she got pregnant while missing, please don't take chances of a pregnancy, there are way too many homeless kitties or killed at shelters because sadly there are not enough homes. if you find her, please keep your baby indoors only, way too many dangers outside for kitties like they can get lost, run over, attacked by stray dogs, shot or poisoned by mean people and other dangers besides they are family members and should stay inside with us but never in a crate or room for long periods of time. Be careful with scammers who ask you to give them your cell phone number so they can send you a code OR THEY ASK YOU TO REACH OUT TO A NUMBER OR TO REACH OUT TO SOME RESCUE SITE (OFTEN ON A POPULAR SOCIAL MEDIA SITE LIKE INSTAGRAM OR FACEBOOK) that helped them in the past to find their pet, be very cautious of those, so many are scammers, also be careful if they ask you to message them for tips, don´t trust that, they could easily post them here like the rest of us do. If you have your phone number listed and have offered a reward anywhere, be very careful of people saying they found your pet, if that is true, they should give a proof and send you a picture of your baby, if they don´t, they just want your money, or if they ask you for your cell phone, DO NOT GIVE ANYONE A CODE that they ask for (sent to your phone) when they say they want to verify it’s you. This is how they reset your information, these are scammers Prayers so you find your baby soon

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 or motion cameras (Amazon for $25) 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

The only way a lost cat can find its way home is with its nose. They have to use their sense of smell to get home again. Put anything outside that smells like their territory. Put the pajamas you slept in outside because you probably sweated in them. Put out their food your stinky socks your smelly sneakers anything you can think of that the cat will recognize by smell. Cats usually stay within a five house radius of their own home for up to a week or so sleeping in the bushes during the day and coming out at dusk and dawn. Those are good times to take a walk shaking the treat bag calling out but cats also tend to come out and walk around very late at night. Try to keep a door cracked if you can whether it's the garage or whatever or a window cracked so you can hear them if they call out for you. Put this on all of the neighborhood pages as well as lost and found pets sites. Knock on the neighbors doors and make sure they know you're looking for your cat. Good luck PS cats can smell up to one mile away from their own house. Absolutely no litterbox outside or food. It attracts predators is why. Never give up.

Keep a close daily check on the Hillsborough County Animal Services website, under their Found Pets section. Hopefully, the cat has a microchip that will help a lot too.

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Mainly their litter box and sprinkle their used litter around the yard as they'll recognize the smell and it'll deter other animals from coming around. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one and to check their cameras in case they appeared on them to get a sense of direction they could be. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

You can purchase a trap from Tractor Supply or Home Depot or Amazon or see if you can borrow or rent one from a local rescue or TNR group. Put a piece of your clothing with your scent on it inside and some wet food and set the trap and cover it with a towel (they feel more secure hidden) and monitor it.🙏❣️ remember kitties are naturally nocturnal, so they will hide during the day and move at night time looking for a food source or trying to get home. This is when most of us are sleeping.That's why the trap is ideal. Monitor the trap. If you catch a critter go ahead and release it and wash the trap and reset. They leave a smell behind which may deter your baby from going in. If you catch another kitty, you can always take it to a local vet or shelter for a free chip check and you might be able to help return someone else's missing baby home.♥️ also get a big sign in the front yard so in case someone does have or sees this baby and does not see this post, they can contact the owner that way. Also get lots of signs posted in the neighborhood. Keep checking on your local county FB group pages. You can search the group by "cat" to see all the cat posts only💗

Post on Nextdoor so your neighbors can watch out for her. Also leave a piece of clothing or blanket outside your door that smells like her.
