Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quiet 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 and will often come back in on their own .. 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 .. In some cases 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!!

Thanks for the thoughtful message and the great advice. Our situation is a bit unusual, as we were only staying at the La Quinta by Wyndham hotel for one night when Knox escaped. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have any familiar territory or scent markers in the area. That said, the staff at La Quinta have been incredibly helpful and know exactly what to do when she is found. We left food, her litter, and her carrier with them, and we will return for her immediately as soon as she is located. Thank you again for your support and encouragement❤️

I’m sorry she’s missing. Cats usually stay hiding scared near by, if is possible leave an open access to you house, she could try to get back the same way she left, set a smell station. If you see her don’t chase her, instead try to lure her towards you. Print some posters with her picture , and put them around your neighborhood, so if someone see her can call you right away, talk to your neighbors make them aware she is missing, cats sometimes cats get stuck under decks or other house’s structures. If she is microchipped be sure the information is updated. File a missing report with animal controls and visit your local shelter. I Hope you find her soon 🙏🏼 .
