including trapping advice if necessary
If you ever “lose” an indoor cat,
chances are he is nearby. Just scared. Call softly and listen carefully especially between 10 pm and dawn when things are quiet. Also use a flashlight as their eyes will reflect back to you from the dark.

CAT RESCUE TIPS FOR INDOOR CATS THAT HAVE ESCAPED
If your cat has escaped and not familiar with the outside world, he/she is 99% of the time hiding right outside in your backyard or neighbors yard.
When they get out, they get nervous and make a quick sprint for the first place they see to find shelter/cover.
Put outside his/her bedding, or your worn clothing for the scent so your cat can smell its way back to the house. You can even sprinkle vacuum dust. It will have his or her hair /scent in it.
Also, it’s very important to get in those bushes, woods etc around your house and search for him/her.
Cats are great at staying stealth quiet and staying in place for days out of fear , everything and everyone is scary right now, including you.
During the day, put out its favorite stinky food, or tuna/sardines etc and water so your cat doesn’t stray for food.
What works best, is at night, take a strong flashlight and look for your cat in the bushes with the flashlight.
If he/she is there, you will see his/her eyes with the reflection of the light.
And don’t forget to look up in the trees. It could have been chased by a coyote and it ran up a tree.
I’ve heard this happen a few times.
Additionally, you can set a trap ( haveahart trap ) you can buy at Home Depot or ask your local animal control to borrow one and put a blanket or your dirty clothing in it with stinky food and cover the trap with a towel so they feel safe once caught. But no food at night.
You can also get a wildlife tracker camera from Amazon or any sporting goods store.
The camera will show any movement at night and if your cat is around the camera will pick up its location /area it’s in.
Also, if there is a lot of rain, please make scent trails for your cat around the exterior of your house after the rainfall. Google how to create scent trails.
Another tip, call your cats name at night, when it’s quiet, try sitting outside shake treat bags too. ( but do this when it’s quiet out) cats tend to move around at night when there is no noise . After midnight
Ask your neighbors to check their garages, sheds, under decks etc. even basement if there is access through cellar doors.
It can take weeks but your cat is still most likely around trying to survive.
It’s also very important to create flyers and put them around town in people’s mailboxes too.
Keep your cat’s photo out there on social media, so people remember your cat’s photo and stays fresh in their mind.
I’ve seen cats that have been missing for months found again even a few towns over.
