Cats enter sheds and garages and often get stuck in sheds and garages for days or longer when the people don’t return. Make and distribute fliers to all neighbors asking them on the flyer to please check their shed and garage. Offer a reward if possible. Cats can survive a long time on insects if locked in a shed/ garage. The cat will likely return to your home. Look for the cat after dusk. That’s when the cat will be coming out of hiding after sleeping all day. (Our cat climbed on the roof and fell down the chimney.) Please avoid putting a collar on a cat. If you insist on a collar make absolutely sure it’s a breakaway collar. Predators grasp the collar. Cats climb and jump. The collar snags on things and the cat gets injured or dies. -Sometimes even a breakaway collar fails to release.

Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite 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 .. 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!!
