Stressful! Please search sheds, garages, under buildings, in drains, bins, skips, in between tall walls and fences, roof and wall cavities, on rooves, up trees, vacant buildings, storage areas etc. (Might be locked in / trapped somewhere, surviving on insects, etc). Create a temporary, stable ramp (eg put of a branch of wood) from inside to outside of drain, call down & leave strong food outside of overnight. Don't trust neighbours to search!!! Best ask permission to or go with. 10pm - 5am walks with strong smelling food and torch, when no cars: call calmly, stop, listen, wait. Leave strong smelling food (eg tinned Whiskas cat food meat and fish flavour or hot BBQ chicken) and water out overnight, near exit point and possible hiding places / where might be trapped. If eaten, last resort, a cat trap on level ground in a safe location. Google how to use safely, monitor closely. Posters, leaflets and door knock. CCTV cameras. Vets, pounds and animal welfare organisations regularly with photo. Ensure microchip details are correct, register as lost. Do all at previous address, if puss recently moved home. (One cat recently travelled 26km to previous address, arrived 6 weeks after lost. Another found 500 metres away from where lost, 7 months later. Most cats need to be locked in for 3+ weeks to bond to a new home, otherwise sooner or later might try head back to previous home or territory. Most cats are escape artists until bonded to new home eg breaking through mosquito netting and forcing sliding doors / windows open. Be extra vigilant!). New / timid cats & esp kittens prone to hiding / getting stuck under / behind / in furniture. So also check in / behind / under drawers, wardrobes, low lounges, recliner chairs (don't move leg rest until double-checked), fridges: behind where warm, washing machines (always check inside before washing). Track down where any vehicles puss might have entered travelled to, do same there 😞 🙏 (See Find Booboo page: determined owner perservered for 7+ months before found her skinny cat). Sadly, most cat lovers learn the hard & traumatic way that there are too many risks and hazards for roaming cats. (Eg cars, dogs, psychopath cat haters, ticks, toxins, foxes, snakes, pounds, locked in a shed, etc). Please consider keeping indoors and / or invest in a very secure cat enclosure or catio. (Research has found it adds 10+ years to average age of cats. Safer for cats and wildlife). Nevertheless, don't give up searching, might be ok this time ... 🙏
