Time is of the essence. Cats don’t go far from home. Don’t wait for social media to bring your cat home, you need to be proactive. Leave the door/window the kitty exited from open 24/7. If unable, then crack garage door open 24/7 enough to get in. Hang worn clothes and/or your pillow case in a tree or on top of shrubs to create a scent trail. Knock on neighbors doors ASAP with a picture asking them to keep an eye out. See if they can check Ring cameras for any sighting. Post signs with kitty’s picture as many as possible, include surrounding neighborhoods. Go out late at night with a flashlight, shaking a bag of food, calling kitty’s name, looking under shrubs for their shining eyes. Post on Ring, Nextdoor and check shelters. Don’t give up. 💕

Please do not leave her litterbox outside as it can attract predators and other cats that may attack her. There is very good info on this website for locating escaped cats: https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/ Here is an excerpt that talks about how important it is to do a thorough search in your yard and your neighbor's yards, where your cat is most likely to be: "The median distance found (how far the cats traveled) for displaced / escaped indoor-only cats was only 50 meters (54 yards) which is roughly a 2 ½ house radius from their owner’s home.... The physical search for a missing cat needs to focus within your immediate neighborhood! Social media posts are important, but obtaining permission from your neighbor to search their property is critical! Simply handing a flyer to your neighbor and asking them to “search” for your cat IS NOT ENOUGH! Your neighbor is not going to get on their belly to look under their deck or under their house, yet that is where your cat is most likely to be! It is up to you, the owner, to conduct this type of slow, methodical search with a flashlight. "

Shared. Post Heartly on Nextdoor as well and check for updates on both websites. Also keep checking their list of found pets, in case a post is made that she's been found. Check the shelters frequently both in person and online. File a missing report while you're there. Not everyone checks social media, post flyers in the area. Include veterinary offices and pet stores when you post the flyers. I strongly suggest that you get her spayed when she gets home again. She keeps breaking out because intact males can sense she's in heat! They can detect a female in heat from at least a mile away. The fact that she's weaning off her kittens points to her being in heat again. Depending on the female (and her perception of available resources) she may wean her kittens between 4 to six weeks old. In a home environment , they might delay weaning by a couple of weeks. Among stray and feral cat populations, it's closer to 4 weeks of age. And they do it by leaving the area for at least a couple of days. That allows her body to dry up the milk supply. Then she might return to the area or not, depending on whether she has found a new mate or not. Contact local rescue groups just in case. They can be helpful in pointing out areas where intact ferals gather, Heartly might seek them out so she can mate. Search around the neighborhood when it's quieter, the time when it's getting dark works well. Check out of the way spots bushes and trees and under parked vehicles. Keep in mind that cats can squeeze into very tight spaces! So if in doubt, check it out. Ask your neighbors to check their garages, back yards, storage sheds, under porches and crawl space under the house, parked vehicles, etc. Be there when they check. Also check areas where she might be looking for food, water, and shelter (like the dumpster area of a restaurant, for example). Any time you go searching, take a carrier, a flashlight, and a bag of her favorite treats (or an open can of food and a spoon). Shake the bag or tap the can while calling out to her. Keep your voice calm. Any stress in your voice will alert her to stay hidden. Good luck 💖
