Hopefully he’s staying nearby. Their first instinct is to hide, so keep food and water out for her. Don’t leave the trap set open unless you’re monitoring it. A friend trapped a cat whose paw got stuck in the door hinge. Thankfully she was there and was able to cut a bar to open the door enough for the kitty to get loose. If she hadn’t been there, the cat would have thrashed and gotten very injured. Trapped animals are also vulnerable, so the trap should be monitored constantly or checked at least every 30 minutes. You could consider buying, or finding and borrowing a drop trap if the regular humane box trap doesn’t work. Consider making a little bed for them with blankets or clothing that smells like you and them - maybe in a cardboard box on its side? As long as it doesn’t rain, it should be fine and cardboard, actually retains a good amount of warmth. i’ll post a list of other tips as well with some other ideas and sites that have great information. Praying She stays safe and is back home with you soon

Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite out .. Might wait in between to see if you hear them meow nearby .... For indoor cats if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out and will often come back in on their own .. If you didn't see them get out check deep dresser drawers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, under beds in box springs, behind the frig, the stove, behind or under the sofa, under or in the recliner the washer/dryer or inside if left open .. basement crawl space .. attic .. anywhere small or behind a cat can hide they will! If out cats will hide during the day and are more active late evening near dark to early morning , daybreak ... have a spot light to shine to see eyes in the dark .. they are usually close by and will often come back to the door .. or hide under bushes or decks to feel safe ! Also check crawl spaces under houses , garages, sheds of neighbors nearby ...No food out after dark it will attract area strays and wildlife to the area ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and colder weather they will get under car hoods for warmth and on tires also ...this can happen and they could be miles from home . Cats in a new home need at least 30 days to adjust to a new area and may and will travel to get back to their old home .. In some cases a set trap may be needed and monitored! A Trail cam or night vision goggles can help to monitor the areas outside! Post to Nextdoor Ask neighbors to check their Ring Doorbells... Beware of loose and roaming dogs in the area as they will chase and your cats! For automatic garage doors please place a 6x6 block or cinder block so that the door will not come all the way down and trap your pet as they can be injured! Check with area Shelters, Animal Control, and Vets offices also put flyers ... Am sure you have tried most all of these! Don't give up!!
