Indoor kitties don't go far from the door they escaped from as they run and hide the first place they find. Typically located within a 5 house radius. Use strong flashlight to look for eye reflection up trees and under bushes even in daylight. Post large neon signs everywhere quickly. Consider leaving the door they escaped from cracked for the kitty to return on their own. Consider leaving a window cracked overnight to listen for meows. Put out owner's scent on unwashed clothing, favorite smelly food, and don't put out litter box. Sit outside at dusk and dawn and shake treats. You must actively search for the kitty. Ask neighbors to check their garages and sheds as kitty may be trapped somewhere inside.

I I Cats do not go far from where they get lost. He is probably terrified and hiding under a bush, shed or under a house. Go out frequently esp at night with a flashlight and search. Keep looking at same places calling softly. Alert neighbors, mailmen, dogwalkers. Borrow or rent a humane trap and cover with a piece of your clothing. Put in smelly food such as tuna or sardines. Check frequently. Don’t give up. It may take some time. Good luck. Beautiful kitty Many signs everywhere as not everyone is on fb.

Here are some tips to help you find your cat: You can contact animal control and police in case someone finds your cat and calls them. Also use pawboost, lostmykitty and petfbi to list your cat as well. With Lostmykitty, their free option includes making a flyer, and I believe they email a photo to all the local shelters. They also offer an amber alert where they will call and leave a message about your missing cat to all your neighbors. If you choose the free optionr first, they than usually offer you a discount on the amber alert. Probably the most helpful thing you can do is see if your town and surrounding towns have community Facebook groups and join them andy share this post there. These are the people who will see your cat! And if you haven't already, post your lost cat on the many missing pet sites on Facebook. There are usually several for specific areas. When indoor only cats get outside, they often start acting wild, making it hard to catch them. You can try setting a humane trap in your yard. This has helped many people catch their cats. Also having a trail camera will let you know if your cat is coming around. And usually indoor cats are very frightened outside, so they find a good hiding spot nearby and often stay there. So search with a flashlight at night and look for glowing eyes in hiding spots and up in trees. Sometimes when an indoor cat gets out, they start acting a bit feral. So if you are able to leave the door your cat got out of a little open or even a window, they might come back in on their own when no ones around. This has worked for me before. Also, call all the local vets and emergency vets and email them a photo so they can keep an eye out if anyone brings your cat to the vet. Lastly, check the local shelters on Facebook regularly as they usually post pictures of the animals they receive. You can also file a missing pet report with them and you can go to them in person and look at the cats they have. I hope you find your cat soon 💚
