If you put something with familiar scent (unwashed shirt, cat bed, etc.) outside your door or in your garage with the door a crack open for kitty to get in, she'll be able to smell it from a long way off & might come back. Try shaking the bag of food/snacks, or pouring food into the bowl outside while you call your kitty, but don't leave out food or the litter box at night because that will attract predators or other critters that might scare kitty away. You might also try setting a trap with your cats favorite food/snack to lure her in. Look for your kitty at dawn & dusk, when cats are most often awake & roaming around. Look in & under outbuildings, garages, under porches, crawl spaces under houses, on rooftops, in trees/bushes, under & inside vehicles (engine area, wheel well), culverts/drain ditches. Cats can crawl into very small spaces, so check every nook & cranny. Search local shelters (in person), rescues, vet clinics, & lost/found sites daily...Post on nextdoor.com, & local lost/found sites in your area. Ask neighbors if they've seen your cat & check their yards, garages/outbuildings, & trees/bushes too if they'll let you. Cats find their way mostly by scent, so walking, rather than driving, around the neighborhood when looking for her might help. She may be able to pick up on your scent & follow it home. You might also try putting up flyers all around the area where she was lost, just in case someone took her in & isn't on social media...I hope you find your fur baby soon! ❤
