You can purchase a trap from Tractor Supply or Home Depot or Amazon or see if you can borrow or rent one from a local rescue or TNR group. Put a piece of your clothing with your scent on it inside and some wet food and set the trap and cover it with a towel (they feel more secure hidden) and monitor it in the morning🙏❣️ remember kitties are naturally nocturnal, so they will hide during the day and move at night time looking for a food source or trying to get home. This is when most of us are sleeping.That's why the trap is ideal. Monitor it early in the morning. If you catch a critter go ahead and release it and wash the trap and reset. They leave a smell behind which may deter your baby from going in. If you catch another kitty, you can always take it to a local vet or shelter for a free chip check and you might be able to help return someone else's missing baby home.♥️ also get a big sign in the front yard so in case someone does have or sees this baby and does not see this post, they can contact the owner that way. Also get lots of signs posted in the neighborhood. Keep checking on your local county FB group pages. You can search the group by "cat" to see all the cat posts only💗

Post on pawboost and next door app, post a ton of flyers, check the shelter every other day in person they don’t post all animals online and there’s only a few day hold, call local vets to see if anyone brought her in, put her some clothing wyou’ve worn that helps with scent, and call for late at night and early morning when we quiet out. Good luck, call the chip company as sometimes they can help. They typically stay nearby hiding and scared. Post on Lost and Found Pets of Pinellas County too. Hope Harvey is home soon.
