Create scent trails on grass and ground to your home or to a trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when she’s in the trap (or release a possum or other animal that enters the trap). Get a towel and rub it with your dirty, or anything else with your scent. (Do not use kitty litter.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag the towel from the areas where you think the cat might be and create scent trails on the ground leading to your house or the trap. You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will. The smell of rotisserie chicken and KFC (breading removed, no bones) seems to travel far. If you use a trap, you may get some possums that you’ll have to release. Rain will wash away the scent you dragged, so you’ll have to do it again. Also, it doesn’t hurt to renew the scent if it doesn’t work on the first day.

Do this ASAP Put out items with your scent on it, like an item of dirty clothing, towel, blanket, cat bed. Put vacuum dust outside since It contains home scents in it. Leave out a bowl of water. (if indoor only cat Will be hiding in silence and fear either in your yard or neighbors). DO NOT put litter box out it will attract feral cats and predators. Call as may times as possible, but night time is best Because its quite. Ask neighbors if you can check garages, sheds and under decks and their security camera recordings in the mid morning hours since cats are more likely to come out when it's quiet during the night. Put up 11x17 poster in neighborhood. Use a flashlight at night because you will see a reflection of their eyes, look up trees and post on you local town community page and next-door neighborhood app.
