Dane Haller, They mostly hide during the day and will usually be more active after dark to early morning .. Have never heard of any getting into a chimney before but if there is a tree near a roof they could get up that way and over to the roof

Dianne Banton hm okay I will look into it thank you Dianne, my cat is obsessed with me and would always come running to me when she would hear my voice so it makes me think she’s further away or possibly stuck somewhere there is a couple maintenance garages I’m going to try to check and there is a lot of cars in this parking lot which is where I last saw her in a parking lot I really hope she didn’t get into a hood of a car and the car took off and she fell out miles away, and I just took away her water drinking fountain and put a bowl of water which she usually doesn’t drink out of but I had to replace the filter on it, so I hope she didn’t try to drink from this steep kinda fast moving river behind me and slipped and fell in, and there is chimneys she could try to get into somewhere that has cover like a chimney from the roof and be stuck would you by any chance know does this type of stuff happen often?

Dane Haller,You are very welcome! You can buy a humane trap from Tractor Supply .. Animal Control .. or a cat Rescue group in your area will also have 1 .. they may charge a fee.. To use and catch a cat Safely .. with this you fold a piece of newspaper the length of the cage bottom place a small amount of food to the back of the trap this will cover the flap so they do not step over and will step on the trigger flap and when they step on the flap the trap door will shut .. Have a towel or small cover to cover trap to help them be calm and bring inside to release your pet .. Havahart I think is the name of the trap

Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite out .. Might wait in between to see if you hear them meow nearby .... For indoor cats if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out .. If you didn't see them get out check deep dresser drawers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, under beds in box springs, behind the frig, the stove, behind or under the sofa, under or in the recliner the washer/dryer or inside if left open .. bat crawl space .. attic .. anywhere small or behind a cat can hide they will! If 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 ...No food out after dark it will attract area strays and wildlife to the area ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and colder weather they will get under car hoods for warmth and on 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! A Trail cam or night vision goggles can help to monitor the areas outside! Post to Nextdoor Ask neighbors to check their Ring Doorbells... Beware of loose and roaming dogs in the area as they will chase and your cats! For automatic garage doors please place a 6x6 block or cinder block so that the door will not come all the way down and trap your pet as they can be injured! 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!!

Gabie Beltz ok thank you so much Gabie I will make posters and hang them up around the apartment complex and surrounding neighborhoods and hand them to vets I appreciate it.

Because people are used to seeing cats alone outside as many have outdoor access, we don't pay attention to them unless ill or injured. Posters placed in a two block radius targets people in area your cat likely is to be seen. You get more eyes watching out.

Dane Haller if not chipped contact with flyers all local vets incase she is brought in for a chip scan staff will know to contact you. Vets don't keep records on animals brought in for scanning.
