Update: on October 2nd, she was seen about every hour on camera behind our fence. We left the gate open but she was very skittish and never walked all the way through. Last night October 3rd, we saw her at both 9pm and 10pm. Shortly after, we saw a raccoon eating the dry food and drinking the water I had out. We set 2 traps yesterday and caught the raccoon in one of them. The trap door was a little bloody, but since there was no other blood in the entire area, I’m hoping it was just from trying to claw its way out. She did not show up on camera again, but makes sense with the raccoon in the cage. Praying so hard tonight is the night 🩷 her twin sister had been crying and wandering the house for her. We’re all heartbroken. Come home Onyx 😭

You’ll need to trap her. PAWS has traps you can borrow. DM if you need advice on doing this.

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a basement window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck.

Michele Sutherland thank you. We did have several sightings of her during the night on our backyard camera, but she ran when she’d hear us. We left the fence gate open with food nearby, but she’d only walk up to it and not enter completely. I’m grateful to know she’s alive but I still just want my baby home!

** Time is of the essence, for finding your lost cat. ** Your cat is probably nearby. Indoor cats usually find a hiding spot very quickly, and very close to where they escaped. Look up in the trees, and check under everything in YOUR YARD first… under decks, bushes, wood piles and sheds. Then check your neighbors yards. The best time to find your cat is at night, with a flashlight, when their eyes glow back at you. ***If your cat is scared, it will not respond to you calling him/her, so you'll have to use your eyes instead of your ears. *** ***When inside cats are suddenly outside, they can go into "survival mode,” and their entire personality changes.*** They, generally, will NOT wander. At least, not at first. (Unless they are not neutered/spayed.) Make sure to leave food and fresh water outside, in case they come out of hiding at night. Canned tuna (packed in oil) is nice and smelly. Also, a piece of your "worn" clothing, with your scent on it left outside, along with their bedding, with their scent on it, will definitely help. And, if you have a container or bag of treats that they really like.. shake it outside for your cat to hear. Also, leave your garage door or a window open a few inches in case it comes back at night. (5-7 inches.) [A special consideration in the cold weather, is to please CHECK UNDER THE HOOD of your vehicle! Oftentimes, a cat, especially an indoor only one, will seek out shelter or warmth in the engine area of your car. Do not start your vehicle, until you’ve checked! It is oftentimes fatal to your feline!] Hoping you find your cat very soon! ♥️ MS🐈
