I hope Bao Bao comes home safe!!! Here are some tips that really helped me when I lost my kitty: Put out dirty laundry so they can scent their way home from miles away, using the familiar smell of your home. Going out late at night/early morning when it is quieter and less noise distraction around will make it easier for you to hear each other’s calls. If you are calling for your cat, make sure you do this as you walk towards your home not away from it so that if she follows the direction of your voice you’re leading him home, not further away. Also ask any neighbors to check their sheds/garages in case she's been curious and got trapped inside somewhere. If she is an indoor cat she is likely scared and hiding somewhere very close by - look under/behind any items/objects that she may be seeking shelter from - under bushes, behind bins etc. When searching at night take a flashlight - the light from its beam will reflect in her eyes and you will be able to spot her even if she doesn’t respond to your calls. Put up posters in all surrounding streets, even place flyers in mailboxes and inform the microchip company that he is missing. Put out water, and some of YOUR dirty clothes (dirty socks are nice and stinky)/blankets (dry in dryer first to enhance smell). Depending on the weather, you might want to put out a plastic tub with straw for shelter. Go out every morning and evening walking (folks seem successful around 10:30 p.m., but don't go alone) with food/treats in bowl rattling it, calling your cats name. Cats are often hiding within a 5-house radius. Do NOT give up. There was one story of owners going out every night for 5 nights and finally on the 5th night, they heard it's meow, it was trapped in a neighbor's shed. Another was hiding in a tree from the neighbor's dogs. Check buildings, bushes, trees, and storm drains around your house. Also in the house/garage, keep all doors/closets OPEN in case it's hiding in the house. If you can, leave door cracked open from which cat would most likely sneak back in during the night. If desperate, sprinkle your urine near the cracked door as stronger scent guidance. When they're in survival mode, they may not recognize you when you call them, so just make sure you do everything you can to show her where home is. They'll come out when they're hungry. Most importantly, DON'T GIVE UP!! Cats are smart and resilient. Best of luck!!!!!!!

Check in bushes and under cars near your home, and check on the next street over, especially in the evening with a flashlight, calling out to her and making a familiar sound. Ask neighbors if they might have seen her, and when they last did if they have. Ask them if she might be trapped in their garage or shed. I hope she is found soon🙏🏻

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.
