Jamie Lynn I'll try that. I'm not sure if she's out walking around tho or if someone took her and she's in their house.

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.♥️

Dianne Banton I was at work when she got out but she got out from the kitchen door when someone opened it to go out. She likes to run out sometimes but she always Strauss in the yard and is never out long usually 5 mins or less then I'm finally able to pick her up and bring her in. Someone had suggested leaving her litterbox and litter on the porch and said if she's outside and close, she can smell it from miles away.

Sam Kell, Do you know where she got out? .. most times they will come back to where they got out.. I know how hard it is when they just vanish .. something may have scared her and she is hiding till she feels safe enough to come out .. My girl went missing for 2 months before she showed up at the door about 9 pm. 1 night. Hope Winnie shows up soon and is safe back at home! HUGS for you and Winnie!!

Dianne Banton I was out searching until 1:30 in the morning and freezing. I have been searching all day and calling her name. The animal shelter has been notified as well as posted on Next-door. I'm thinking someone took her from the front yard when they saw her out. She is never out this long usually she just his around the house then I can pick her up and bring her in. I was at work when she got out yesterday. I'm just heartbroken and have been crying since yesterday I haven't slept either. I'm all she knows I've had her since she was a tiny kitten, I had to bottle feed her when her momma abandoned her. She follows me everywhere and sleeps on me our at my feet every night. I just want my best friend back.

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 under car hoods with colder weather and 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 ... 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!!
