Eden Wolfenden he likely escaped. Put food out in kitchen and are there stairs leading off the deck? If not you must plan to sit outside at sunset down below and calmly call for him then place wet food in bowl with camera aimed. Yes he escaped. Cats will escape 5 story buildings even when skittish . The only way is to lure to your voice and wet food only and once caught on camera then to plan to trap by doing a stakeout as u can never ever ever set a trap and walk away. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

HappyCatLady thanks for asking! I think he escaped out the back, the front has a ring camera and he wasn't caught on it leaving. When I came home there was a 2inch gap in the sliding door and I think he may have gone through there and escaped off the balcony/deck. I think it's possible he could still be inside because the deck is very high up and he doesn't like heights. Thank you for interacting with the posts!

❗Put a dish, Not a can of fishy wet food or tuna outside near the escape area, put a minicamera pointing at the food dish to observe from your devices what animals go up to the food, if you see your cat, later,or the next night,set up a humane trap (Have A Hart type) with the food dish inside and the minicamera attached to the ceiling inside the trap, so you can see what animals go inside the trap. Where to Get Spring-Door Traps in San FranciscoSan Francisco SPCA (Rental)How it works: They rent heavy-duty Tru-Catch or Havahart wire box traps. The cat walks inside for food, steps on a metal plate, and the door spring-shuts behind them.Location: 201 Alabama Street, San Francisco, CAContact: communitycats@sfspca.org or (415) 554-3084 to confirm current rental availability.San Francisco Animal Care & Control (Rental/Loan)How it works: They occasionally lend out humane traps for residents trying to capture lost pets or stray animals within the city.Location: 1419 Bryant Street, San Francisco, CAContact: (415) 554-6364 to check trap availability and deposit requirements. Center Hardware & Supply (Purchase)How it works: If rental inventories are full and you need a trap immediately, this large local hardware store frequently stocks standard Havahart live traps for purchase.Location: 3003 3rd Street, San Francisco, CA Contact: (415) 861-1800. Setting the Trap Safely: Test the door first: Before leaving the trap, press the metal trip plate inside with your hand to make sure the door springs shut smoothly and locks.Trail the food: Place a tiny spoonful of smelly food (like tuna or sardines) just outside the door, another tiny bit inside the entrance, and the main pile at the very back behind the trip plate. This coaxes them all the way inside so the door doesn't hit their tail when it snaps shut. Wyze Cam v4: One of the most popular and affordable options for under $35. It is a tiny cube camera with an IP65 weatherproof rating, color night vision, and two-way audio. You can fasten it magnetically or zip-tie it securely to the top ceiling of the trap. It connects via Wi-Fi.TP-Link Tapo C113 (2K): Priced around $25, this mini bullet camera is compact enough to easily wire or strap to a humane trap's interior. It features 2K resolution, clear IR night vision, and supports local MicroSD storage so you don't require a monthly subscription.Blink Outdoor 4: Priced around $60, this is a fully wireless, battery-operated camera. Because it requires no cords, it's very easy to position inside a larger humane box trap or strap to a tree facing the trap entrance.How to Fasten the CameraZip ties / Cable ties: The easiest method is to run heavy-duty zip ties through the mounting bracket (or the camera's base) and weave them tightly through the wire mesh at the top of the humane trap.Heavy-duty magnets: Both the Wyze Cams and some trail cameras come with strong magnetic bases. You can attach a metal plate to the top of your trap, allowing the camera to snap right into place.Positioning: Point the camera downward so you can observe both the cat food (the bait) and the animal's face as it approaches, helping you identify if it's the target cat, a raccoon, or another skittish animal.Helpful TipsNight Vision Check: Make sure to turn on night vision or IR mode, as most stray and wild animals will approach the food at night.Wi-Fi Strength: Before you leave the trap, test your home Wi-Fi connection right next to the trap to ensure the live feed loads without delay. These types of minicameras are available on Amazon or Walmart.
