If safe/possible, be sure to leave a window or door or garage door cracked open so that s/he can get in if s/he returns anytime of the day or night. put out some of her bedding, or your worn clothing that S/he’s familiar with to help her find her way home through scent. The jury still out if putting out the litter box helps, but could leave out. Place a Strong Smelling can of tuna as well. If she’s hiding or injured, it’s best to look out at night when it’s quiet by using a flashlight to see the reflection of his eyes In various hiding spots. Call her/his name calmly, shake a bag of treats, and listen for her/him, could be very faint noises. Put up posters in the area and be sure to talk to neighbouring buildings. I understand that “indoor only” cats don’t typically travel too far away (a couple of house over in all directions) when they’re scared they just rather hide. Just get out there and start looking as s/he’s probably no further than couple houses over in all directions hiding. Post in your community’s Facebook group if there is one... Not sure what else to suggest… I hope you find your kitty 🙏🏻🐾💕 📸 Look at this “how to find your cat” info on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/v/dsPqV72P7M3jqv2u/?mibextid=aI5dXw

PLEASE READ. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. IF I HAD KNOWN THESE TIPS I WOULD HAVE MY FUR BABY BACK NOW! Go out looking for kitty. Start searching immediately. Don’t wait for him/her to come home on their own. Kitty is likely close by, may be scared and hiding. Take a can of tuna or smelly cat food with you or kitty’s favourite treats. Look under neighbours decks or steps but don’t give up. So many dangers out there such as coyotes, owls and not so nice humans. Kitty is counting on you. And...this is so IMPORTANT ....!!! If you don’t find kitty today, go out late tonight when it’s quiet and calm around midnight or later and sit on your front steps or back steps and talk out loud softly and say his/her name over and over like you are reading a story book. Be patient it may take some time and more than one night but if kitty is close s/he will hear your voice and come out of hiding. This has worked for me a couple of times. Also leave a window or garage door open so they can get back in when they come back. Good luck. Hope your fur baby makes it home soon. Don’t give up.
