Here are some ideas that may help... Check in and around sheds, garages, under cars and under hood of cars, especially when it’s cold out. If you or your neighbors’ car windows were down, retrace areas where unknowingly kitty may have been a passenger. Check your attics, crawl spaces and in between walls, any appliances in which a door may have been accidently shut, i.e., washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove...also check in closets and drawers. Also look above in trees, rooftops, ledges ! Take a flashlight with you both day and night to catch a gleam from kitty’s eyes. Cats usually travel very late at night or early morning. Leave porch door or garage door open. Leave strong smelling cat food (tuna) or kitty’s favorite food out during normal feeding times and at night (watch out for other hungry critters though). Go outdoors and shake a bag of treats, calling kitty’s name calmly and listen often for a response, kitty may be hiding or trapped somewhere close by. Also leave a familiar blanket or bedding or worn clothing items from kitty’s humans! Post flyers, give flyers to local mail carrier, trash collector, UPS/FED-EX driver, dog walkers, joggers, neighborhood children, alert neighbors, post on Pawboost, nextdoor .com, surrounding towns’ lost and found and other FB organizations as well, alert veterinarian offices in case kitty is brought in. GO to (do NOT just call) SPCA or humane shelters to see for yourself, be adamant about seeing all of their cats, (in case of mistaken breed and/or ) … humans make mistakes too! Don't forget to file a missing pet report. I have seen recently on Facebook that people suggest sending a message to @satellitepetsearch on instagram as they are highly recommended, also sending a direct message to "Satellitefurlostpets” via instagram or a private search service team “animalsatellitesearch1” on instagram. Try googling drone services near your area! Drone services for pet retrieval use thermal cameras to detect animals' heat signatures, allowing for the rapid scanning of large areas, including dense terrain, even at night. These services provide real-time footage and can quickly locate a missing pet, with assistance for the safe recovery of the animal once found. You can find providers by searching online for terms like "thermal drone pet recovery" or looking for local pet search and rescue organizations that utilize drones. Good Luck and I pray that kitty returns home soon!
