Go out when it's dark and look and call

Check all trees (they are known to climb very high up, even 75+ feet), the crawlspace (if applicable), bushes with a flashlight, all cupboards/cabinets/closets, under/in all furniture (including mattress box springs), garage, sheds, & washer/dryer. Only if 100% sure escaped & doesn't compromise the safety of other pets: Keep the door your kitty went out of cracked open with a bag of treats nearby to shake to coax in & call name softly/gently. If you haven't already, borrow a humane trap from a shelter ASAP & place an article of clothing that smells like you/your kitty by the door. Post neon colored signs within a few blocks, as well as notify vets/shelters/microchip company. Do NOT put kitty's litter box outside, as that can actually attract predators/keep your kitty from coming home. Most kitties are found within 5 houses from their home, especially during early morning hours (2-5am)/dawn/dusk. Check with all neighbors (Ring cameras/garages/sheds/etc.). I hope this helps & your kitty is found soon, safe & sound. 🤞🫂

These are general search tips and not all may apply in your situation. Search at night w/ a flashlight (eyes will glow). Check up in trees and inside/under things in your yard and up to 4 - 5 houses away. Search garages, sheds, under decks and bushes, in crawl spaces, behind AC units - any place the cat might be trapped or hiding. Many cats go into hiding mode for safety and won't come when they hear their owner's voice but try calling and try either shaking a can/bag of treats or carrying an open (smelly) can of cat food or fish. Put something w/ the cat's scent on the porch (cat bed, scratching post, sofa pillows). Keep your garage door up enough to allow entry. Keep fresh bowls of water out. Put up large missing cat posters (neon poster board works well), talk to neighbors (leave info for those not home), post on all local social media groups and make sure to check with local animal control at least once a week (better to go in person but at least call and send them a photo). If not found at night with a flashlight, go out during early morning, before dawn, as many cats are active around that time. If not found in a few days, you can always buy a humane cat trap but traps *must* be checked multiple times each day, every day. If the cat is microchipped, please make sure the chip company has your updated contact information. And even if the cat has a chip, you still need to check with animal control as chips sometimes are overlooked or migrate down. Please search often and don't give up hope.
