Should also create a post on 24petconnect (free). It's the one most, if not all, shelters use. Just need to renew post monthly using email link. It's easy to lose hope after a couple weeks, but there are plenty of stories of cats surviving for months before being reunited. It's the first place I look whenever a new stray appears at my feeding/watering station for them. I had a cat that would come for food for a few months, but was skittish. Someone finally renewed a post from nearly a year prior that it looked a lot like. Unfortunately before I could capture him, he got a minor respiratory issue and was willing to be caught at that point. I got him to the shelter and never saw his picture popup on the site as a found cat (it's required when owner is unknown), which means they found it's owner (likely with a chip). I checked camera captures and haven't seen your guy yet, but I'm in the vicinity, so I'll keep an extra eye out for your baby.

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be killed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they can snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
