Call softly late night early morning when it quite out .. For indoor cat if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got 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 ... 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 .. A set trap may be needed and monitored! Trail cam help to monitor the areas! 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!!

You might when it gets dark go out on your yard with a bag of kitty treats and a flashlight. Call your cats name softly and shake the kitty treats bag. Use the flashlight to look in the bushes to see if you can see your cat hiding. Print flyers with your cats picture and your contact information and take around to neighbors. Ask them if they’ve been in their shed since the cat became lost. The cat will go into a shed because it’s dark and quiet and then they got locked in when the owner closes the door. You can only hear a cat crying to get out of a shed if you’re standing next to the shed. Print flyers with your cats picture and your contact information and take them around to neighbors. Look under porches and deck to see if you find your cat hiding. If the cat is chipped to make sure the contact information is up-to-date.Visit the animal shelter in Chesapeake to see if your cat was picked up and taken there.
