My personal experience has been first securing other cats in another closed-off room, dimming/turning off most or all inside/outside lights and — if safe to do so and should be supervised — leaving doors (especially door/window escaped through) open/ajar in the very early morning (basically, need to camp out in room where door is ajar). (Cats have a keen wide-ranging/radius sense of smell; therefore, it is so important to get their familiar “home” scents into the airwaves.) Every time, my little escape artist has come bolting through the door between 3:00 — 5:00 AM. (NOTE: When he’s escaped and door is closed, he panics and takes off again — it is important they have a way in once they come out of hiding and make a mad dash for home.) Hopefully, if not used to being outdoors, COCO is very close by just scared to come out until it’s really dark and really quiet. Prayers for a quick safe return !!🙏🏻

General Information: Indoor cats are usually close to home. Check any and all hiding places in your home - closets, under side of mattress. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

Do nighttime searches for your cat,Go outside with a flashlight,a bag of cat treats, and a carrier in the event you see the cat. Calmly call the cat's name, and with the lightook under vehicles, under porches and decks,in and around bushes and shrubbery,up trees,up poles, in between and behind buildings, under buildings, shine the light on rooftops,on upper level decks,on windowsills, on fire escapes,in all these places,use the light to help you look, and to catch the eye shine,or reflective glow of the cat's eyes. Calmly call the cat's name while searching for your cat,then shake the treat bag. Alternate between searching for the cat, and calmly calling its name, and shaking treat bag throughout the neighborhood where kitty is lost every night after sunset, then again 10,11 pm - 4 am
