These are generic search tips and not all may apply in your situation. Search at night with a flashlight (eyes will glow). Check up in trees and inside/under/behind things in your yard. Inside only cats *normally* stay within a 2 - 4 house range, outside cats may roam a greater distance, especially if a tomcat or wild animal moved into its normal territory. Search garages, sheds, decks, bushes, crawl spaces, behind AC units, under dumpsters - any place the cat might be trapped or hiding. Many indoor cats go into hiding mode for safety and won't come when they hear their owner's voice. Try calling and shaking a bag of treats or carrying an open (smelly) can of cat food or tuna. Put something w/ the cat's scent on the porch (cat bed, scratching post, owner's worn clothing - every once in a while someone will chime in stating this is incorrect but lots of people have had success doing this). Keep your garage door up enough to allow entry, or a back door or window open if safe to do so. Keep fresh bowls of water out. Put up large missing cat posters (neon poster board works well), talk to neighbors (leave info for those not home). Post info on all local social media groups and make sure to check with local animal control at least once a week (better to go in person but at least call and send them a photo). If not found at night with a flashlight, go out during early morning before dawn, as many cats are active around that time. If not found in a few days, you can always set a humane cat trap but traps *must* be checked multiple times each day, every day, and not used during bad weather. If the cat is microchipped, please make sure the chip company has your contact info. Still check with animal control if your cat has a chip, as sometimes they are overlooked or migrate down. If you live in/near an apartment complex, notify the apartment manager and maintenance crew. Please search often until found. Beware of unsolicited texts/emails claiming they have your pet but need money to release info or the pet - those are scams and should be reported to the non-emergency police #.
