Sorry your beautiful kitty is missing. It is good she is microchipped. Is she indoor-only? Is she wearing a collar with identifying information? Be sure to post on all local lost pet sites. Include that she is indoor-only. Put flyers up in the neighborhood--not everyone checks social media. Let local vets and shelters know. Make sure she is not trapped somewhere in the house. From my experience, when indoor cats get outside, they usually do not go far. Look VERY nearby: in trees, in bushes, under cars, under porches, under decks, and in your neighbor's yards. Ask your neighbors to be on the lookout for her and to check their crawlspaces, garages, and sheds. Cats sometimes get trapped there. Shake her treats or call her like you do when you feed her. Place your clothing outside so she can follow the scent. Know that she is probably scared and may not respond to your voice or you calling her name. When our indoor cat got out, we unknowingly walked by him several times while calling his name. He stayed hidden in the bushes because he was so scared. Bring an open container of tuna when you are looking. Use a flashlight when looking for her to catch her eye reflections. I am praying that she gets home immediately.
