Be Proactive and Aggressive in your search. Act Fast. Sometimes people wait, mistakenly thinking cat will just come home on their own. Don’t give up. Cats usually stay within a 5 House Radius. Indoor cats don’t usually go far. They get scared and try to be quiet. They could be hunkering down in nearby bushes, under decks/porches, crawlspaces etc. Look in garages/sheds, rafters, trees and drainage pipes in ditches. Look in the same places you already did again and again because cats will move to different nearby places if spooked. I’ve had people say they found their cat in a place they looked at a few times. Place a humane trap with stinky food in it on your property or ask neighbors if you can put one on theirs. If you have a dog, use their strong sense of smell taking them for a walk around the neighborhood and your home. Alert neighbors and ask to look on their property and garages/sheds, under sheds too if obvious holes dug by animals. Go out often in the quiet of night between 12-5 with a High Lumens Tactical LED flashlight looking for glowing eyes. Sit out in the quiet of night and read a book out loud in a calm and soothing voice. Shake noisy cat toy or treats. Keep garage slightly open with cats bed/blanket and articles of owners unwashed items. Also check thoroughly indoors, dresser drawers, linen closets, totes, under couch cushions, under couches/recliners, inside the lining under couches/chairs, cupboards, behind washer/dryer, fridge, stove, water heater, furnace, basement etc.. Neon posters at intersections, otherwise how would someone who isn’t on social media and might have seen or taken in your cat know some is looking. Physically go to shelters and leave info every couple days. Do NOT put out the litter box, it’s a Myth, it will attract other strays or predators keeping your cat hiding or even leaving the area. Coyote hunters put out Used cat litter to lure in coyotes. Leave info at local veterinarian offices. Also post on Facebook pages, For The Love Of Louie Michigan Lost Pet Lookers. Also post on your local Nextdoor app and the Pawboost app, they will send out email alerts to members and will also post on local Facebook Lost and Found Pets groups. Even if you don’t have a Ring camera, you can join Neighbors Ring and see if anyone has posted seeing kitty in their camera and you can make a post there. Good Luck. Get home safe and Sound Shadow 🙏🏻❤️

Debbie Brazel this is a myth and a dangerous one. Coyote hunters actually put out used cat litter to lure in coyote. Only thing you should be putting out is clothing of owners, bedding and cat bed and toys.

I can’t stress enough asking neighbors if YOU can look in their sheds/garages. Just in one week alone 3 different people found their cat a couple doors down, one was in a shed the other was under the shed. The other was sitting by a neighbors shed luckily the owner looked again in the same places she looked before. Another woman’s cat was missing for 5 weeks and she heard a cat crying when she went out looking because she never gave up. It was a couple doors down in a neighbors shed. That neighbor looked himself and had been in and out of the shed doing yard work. It took 2 hours for the woman to get her cat out. She had to crawl up and get him. He was so scared. He was skinny but alive. I’m guessing he came and went possibly eating and drinking somewhere and running back in. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this. Also cats can squeeze into the smallest of holes. They don’t act themselves when they get out. ALSO, the litter box is NOT recommended. Cats instinctively bury their waste to keep predators away. By putting the litter box out you are attracting predators and aggressive strays keeping your cat hiding and possibly running further away from the area.

Look at night with a flashlight under bushes. Shake a treat bag and call the kitty... They usually don't go far
