My cat has gotten out a few times over the last 20 years. Here are a few of the scenarios and how I got him back. one time he was stuck in a raccoon trap the neighbor's yard several houses down And my husband found him. One time he got out and was gone for 10 days before I found him around the block at night underneath a car with a flashlight, I saw his eyes. One time I found him in one of my neighbor's garages a few houses down late at night using the same flashlight technique, he was just laying in the boat that was in the back of their garage. One time he got out and was gone for a few days, I always put flyers and s locked inside a lady's garage that she hadn't been inside for a few days. Looking at night is helpful. Last year when he got out was the first time in a long time and he's old so I worried a lot, I set my alarm and got up every hour on the hour to go outside and walk around calling for him and finally he ran up at about 4:30 a.m. looking often at night is key. They usually stay close . Shake food or treats bags outside or open tins of food. My brother's cat got stuck in a tree about 40 ft up for several days. He's probably nearby and possibly stuck somewhere he cannot get out. If there's a neighborhood Facebook page posts there and put signs up around the neighborhood as well as delivering them personally to people's houses and if there are any stores nearby. Also post on for the love of Louie Facebook page and the next door app. If you have a local humane society, poundcor any place in street animal can be taken go and physically check those places as well. Put stuff that smells like your house and like your cat outside. Good luck ☺️

You’re probably getting a lot of advice but I hope some/all of these tips help you bring your baby home quickly! Most important tip, do not wait for your cat to show up. Be very active in your efforts to bring your baby home, fliers, door knocking, going out at night with flashlight, etc. If you’re unsure if he/she’s still close by I highly recommend an outdoor camera. It doesn’t have to be a Ring that requires a subscription. I have an indoor/outdoor Wyze purchased from Amazon for less than $40 (does require separate purchase of outdoor power cable but that was cheap). I set the camera up to alert me when it detects movement and it immediately pops up on my phone. Leave food out close to house/apartment entry to encourage your cat to stay close by rather than wander away looking for resources. Also, if possible, leave the door or window to the house/apartment or garage cracked open because they often will wander up and come right inside.

Take treats, and a flashlight, out with you and call him in the quietest hours of the early morning around 3-4 :30 a.m. when your voice will carry farther. Look in hiding spots and trees, and listen for him. Most indoor cats don't go far when they get outside they get scared and hide during the day and come out at night when it's quiet and dark. They often try to return home during those hours so be watchful for him then. Put something outside your home with your scent or his scent on it to help him find his way home. Put up colored flyers around your neighborhood and businesses then go door-to-door with one and ask your neighbors to check in their sheds and garages to make sure he didn't get accidentally shut in somewhere. Go to shelters IN PERSON as descriptions are not always accurate. Don't give up! Keep calling him! It may take him a while to come out of hiding if he is very scared or has wandered farther away but if he hears your voice it will keep him close by until he eventually gets brave enough to come out of hiding and follow your voice home.
