Try putting your kitty dirty litter box outside or something that smells like your kitty so she can smell her way home. ***If you have a garage try leaving it cracked open enough for the kitty to come inside. Also try putting a smelly can of tuna or cat food outside. Cats hide in bushes, under decks, under vehicles and in sewers when they are scared. If you go out at night and shine a flashlight, your cats eyes will glow when you shine it in her eyes. Let your neighbors know your kitty is missing incase they see the kitty. **Also check local shelters daily!!!! **Also beware of Scammers!! I hope you find your kitty soon. 💜🐾🙏

Be careful of scammers contacting you with stories about having your cat or taking your cat to a vet office for an emergency and saying money is needed, do not click any links sent to you, or offers for pet tracking and drone services. If normally an indoor cat, then kitty is likely hiding real close to home. They tend to freeze in place and may not come out if you call their name. They are masters at hiding and squeezing into small spaces. Use a flashlight to look in, under, behind all dark spaces so that their eyes glow. You can do this during the day, but especially at night when things are quieter. Check inside the house as well just in case (dresser drawers, up inside mattress box spring, recliner, sofa, etc). Look up in trees and other high spots in case kitty climbed up to escape another animal. Do NOT put litter box or bedding outside as that can attract other animals/predators. Put some of your dirty laundry/worn clothing outside for the scent. Leave a door cracked open so kitty can get back inside. Set up trail cameras outside and use a humane trap that you can buy at a hardware store or borrow from a rescue. Ask neighbors to check garages and sheds. Hang LOST signs in your area. Post on Nextdoor app, Ring app, Pawboost, area facebook pages, and lost and found facebook pages. Make sure microchip information is accurate. Check local animal shelters in person. Check the 24petconnect website via zip code for intakes.

Put some clothes or blankets with your scent on them outside. Ask neighbors to check their sheds and garages. Probably scared and hiding somewhere nearby. At night go walk around outside with bright flashlights and call for her. Her eyes will glow when the light is on them. Put some lost cat signs in your neighborhood. Put a post on the neighborhood Nextdoor so neighbors can be on the lookout for her and contact you if they find her. Hope you find your kitty soon 🙏
