You may have done all or most of these but maybe there is a hint for something else to do. Look everywhere inside, outside, in, behind and under bushes, decks, porches, culverts, window wells, crawl spaces and sheds. If there have been any maintenance people in home, look in areas they might have been around in case the cat was closed in that area (walls, heating & air ducts, open floors, attics, basements/cellars/crawl spaces). Call, knock and listen for a response. In sheds, move stuff around, away from walls and especially corners as well as use a flashlight to look under shed and in crawl spaces. Also look up as there could be a spot to roost. Use a flashlight to look for eyeshine night and day inside sheds, decks, bushes, culverts, crawl spaces and under anything even if you think it is bright enough. Make flyers and take around for several blocks in all directions. If no one is home, leave a flyer in the door or mailbox. Ask neighbors if you can look around their property including garages and in, around and under sheds. Have a flashlight with you. Ask if they have seen the kitty or if they do to contact you. Put out some cat food to try and draw towards the house. Use trail cameras outside around the house to see if cat is coming back during the night. Check all areas every day. Cats will move around to stay safe, especially at night. Put out some of your clothing, a cat bed or even a cat tree from the house if it is a small one. Saw a post where someone did that and they came out the next day and found the cat in it.. Contact all vets in the area, the SPCA(s) for your area and Animal Control. Hope your beautiful kitty comes home from the adventure soon. Maybe this will help.

Put something outside that has a heavy sent of her hoomans, tshirt, socks, dirty laundry..and something that has her heavy scent on it, blanket, tower, bed, etc. I don't recommend the litter box outside bc it attracts strays and the occasional skunk that might scare her off. Doesn't matter if its not near your home. Get that scent out there with water and wet food in the evenings. Prayers for her safe return 🐾💕🙏

indoor cats will not travel far, but will hide well, especially scared ones. Will be in survival mode and not come to or recognize unfamiliar sounds. Will likely come out at night when it’s safe, calm and quiet out to look for food. Owner should look in and under everything close by throughout the middle of the night. You can use a flashlight to wave around close to the ground to catch his eyes. Can also make a scent trail using liquid smoke to the house or a trap. Probably won’t come to the house since that’s unfamiliar. Owner should also call quietly and make any familiar sounds the cat would recognize and he’ll come out of survival mode after a little bit of time. They are basically feral in survival mode. Again, he isn’t going to travel far but will stay hidden most of the time and until the owner finds him. Trapping may be necessary if the owner is not there.

Emily Hamilton, can you tell them how to find their cat, tell them, please, not to be looking for them with a flashlight at night. That will be the worst thing they can be doing, scaring the Cat away. It’s already scared enough

Please search everywhere she was last seen. Under bushes and shrubs, in someone’s garage, etc. keep looking after dark, call her name calmly, use a flashlight to pick up those beautiful green eyes. Visit the shelters in person. Sharing for Hydee
