We suspect Aine was on the desert fringe with her brother. He made it home; she did not. She is very small and friendly. She is microchipped.

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times... an indoor cat WILL ESCAPE .. EVENTUALLY! Your safe guard would be to always train your cat to walk on a harness and lead. Take your cat outside so it can familiarize itself with sights, sounds and smells of its neighborhood. The Cat will register all of that into its brain which will help it find its way back home.

PLEASE TRY TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FROM A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL CAT DETECTIVE. (It worked for me!!!) "You need to first call and inform chip company if cat is chipped. Then call the shelter/humane society/pound and let them know, because they can call you if they show up, but you should actually go daily as well because they don't always know for sure and your eyes are better than theirs. Next go to Pawboost, Nextdoor, and other lost and found sites in your area and on Facebook, and post on them with as much information and pictures as you can to help the searchers know who and where to search. Next, get flyers made up and take them with you as you walk your neighborhood. Give your postal carrier a flyer. Use your printed flyers to put them around the neighborhood, talk to your neighbors as well, and touch things down low to leave your scent for them to follow home. Most indoor cats who get out are generally only 2-5 houses away from both directions and across the street and behind your house. Set out their cat bed or cat blanket plus a piece or two of your dirty clothing on the front and back porches so theirs and your scents are outside and they can smell them. DO NOT set kitty's litter outside because predators will smell the litter and stalk it for your kitty. DO NOT put food out either as other animals and predators will be coming in for a free meal, plus your kitty needs to not have a full belly so they'll be more apt to stick around home. You can set out fresh water nightly. Scared cats tend to hide during the day, and they will stay in shrubbery or bushes or in the window wells of houses with basements or crawl spaces or under cars or shreds. Go out in the evenings to call when it's quieter. When it is dark, take a flashlight and crawl on your hands and knees, even in cold weather, and shine the flashlight into the shrubs, bushes, window wells, under cars/trailers, etc, so that their eyes will shine brightly. If you find your cat, move and reach out slowly so as not to scare them and they take off in fear. Be sure to speak in your normal voice. Don't yell. Go out daily to call their name and leave your scent by touching the ground and everything around (bushes, cement, base of trees, etc)." Don't give up and keep the faith! Be sure to post on YOUR FB page, and please make sure that your post is sharable for wider coverage. You do this by tapping the 3 dots ... on the top right corner and choose public!!! Patience and perseverance. Will be praying that your kitty is found and comes home safe.

Share on nextdoor for neighbors and call at night when quieter might be locked inside a garage or shed
