Go knocking door to door asking your neighbors within a 2-3 block radius. Hand them a flyer with a photo of your cat/dog and a telephone number to be reached at. Hang up flyers outside and protect them with a plastic sleeve from the weather.

Indoor only fixed cats will be close by hunkered down in fear. Look in bushes, under porches and decks, small spaces and sheds. If you look in the dark with a bright flashlight cat's eyes will glow when the light hits them. Wear reflective and bright clothing so cars can see you in the dark.

Definitely leave doors and garage doors cracked open as they will try to get back in.. ! Put his kibble or favorite treats inside the doors. Be home..do this in the dark hours , late night.

As a trapper please try the following ASAP! Do NOT leave trap unattended in this heat. Watch from window or camera. Set humane trap cage ASAP. Indoor cats don't go far. Check under porches, sheds and anywhere they can hide. Talk to neighbors also. Call shelters, humane society and kennels to see if someone dropped them off. Go look yourself too, don't just go by what they say.. they are busy too.. go out at night when it's quiet and no noise, as they are scared. Only you go, not a bunch of people. Take a bag of treats with you. Also, leave a door cracked and garage door cracked open with food inside.. just keep an eye on it, this way they can run into your house when coming home. They usually go to the door where they got out at. Put up cameras if you can. You can buy humane traps at home Depot, Lowes or there's many shelters that will lend you one. Post on all animal sites. Make sure he didn't get locked in someone's garage or shed. Set up a camera or ask neighbors if they can review their cameras.

Do you have other cats? If yes ask them to tell her to show herself or to let you catch her. I know it sounds silly, but it’s worked for me a couple of times. If I were you I’d go searching through those woods, as calmly as possible. I know it might seem easier said than done, but try to not make too much noise while going through the woods so she isn’t scared away of the area or deeper into hiding. Even walk around the perimeter of where she was last seen and talk with everyone in those areas. Find out if anyone is a feral cat caretaker who might have noticed a new cat in the area. If at all possible stay up all night long at your front door. Maybe she might come back on her own. I know what it’s like. Buster one of my cats, solid black, fell off our deck at 10:45 one hot and humid summer night. 12 foot drop and no stairs. By the time I got outside he was already running down to the back of the yard and when I went to grab him, broke that rule of not lunging because it scared him, and he ran into bushes between our yard and the neighbors. I’m arachnophobic and was wearing a tank top and long shorts and I was almost too afraid to run after him. He ran into my neighbors overgrown huge yard (a third of an acre) and I had to go back into the basement to grab manual hedge trimmers (looks like huge scissors). My mom helped to look and we found him up against the neighbor’s new fence. She grabbed him and handed him off to me and I ran back into the house with him. That was in 2017 and luckily all was good from that, but TLDR, look everywhere. Buster had been hiding in a thick bunch of weeds and vines. Maybe that’s what your Ghost is doing.

Jenn Ha we just moved here about a week ago. New environment outside her norm probably spooked her. Tried to make the transition easy. Specifically brought out her cat lounge pillows and multiple baskets that she would hide in. The last time we saw her, she didn't even recognize us, and sprinted away. The biggest fear is that she was headed down the hill. I don't think she'll recognize that she has to go up by several streets. At this point, we can only hope she found someone to take her in or at least a safe place to hide in the woods.

I don’t know if I misread your post or not. Did you just move there or were you just moving boxes into the house? Because if you’ve been living there open the windows wide. Praying for your successful and happy reunion with Ghost!! I had a Turkish angora once so I get it. Little Bit was the softest, most bird like cat I’ve ever had in my life. My TA was black and white.

Jenn Ha our kind neighbor Val does. They have been super helpful about sharing their video and walking around while on the lookout. Nothing fruitful yet.
