Here are some tips for finding kitty: Go out early morning with a flash light, cup of dry food and or treats, shake cup calling their name. Use flash light to look for eye refraction under cars, bushes and dark places to hide. Use food or treats to lure kitty out. Use a towel or jacket to wrap kitty up to bring home in so as not to get scratched or bitten in panic mode. Early morning is quiet, so listen for a faint meow. They normally will remain silent even if you are right next to them. Cats instict to survive. You may have to do this for awhile to find kitty. Check crawl spaces, garages, neighbors sheds, etc. They run in and hide there. Also try looking at feeding time. Hunger will lure them out. Took me over 30 days to get mine back. He was hiding under my neighbors house crawl space. Then it took me 6 more days to catch him with food. He has never left since then. Do not give up. They are great at hiding. They generally go about 2 blocks away unless chased farther away. Check with neighbors too. Extra eyes looking out will help. On the darker side, for closure, if it was a coyote, they consume it within 2 houses of where they catch it. They generally leave parts behind. Walk around looking for evidence of a . Ask gardeners or neighbors of they saw any remains too. Closure is part of this journey. Hopefully kitty is just spooked and around the property hiding. Good luck.

Be sure to post on NextDoor and on San Fernando Valley - SFV Lost and Found Pets and All Things Pets San Fernando Valley. A few tips: If you haven’t yet, leave some articles of your unwashed clothing (socks, shoes, t-shirt, a pillowcase) outside for him/her to smell home. Never leave food or a litter box out, as this attracts coyotes/predators. >>If you can, starting tonight please leave a door or window (even a garage door) cracked open for him/her to return through, especially during the night when it’s quiet out and when cats are most active; this works well, but may take a few nights if they are in hiding. Leave the articles of clothing near the opening. It helps to leave some food out inside the home to help lure him/her in. Don’t give up - cats typically attempt to return home during the night/early morning hours (~1a-5a).<< Your cat is probably hiding nearby. Go out late at night w/ a flashlight and look for your cat’s eyes. You can try shaking a treat bag if your cat normally responds to that. Check shrubs, under cars, crawl spaces, up in trees and on roof tops (in case your cat has been chased). If you see your cat outside, he/she may be too scared to come to you - sit quietly and have some tuna, Churu paste cat treats and even a wand-type toy to help lure them over to you. Have neighbors check their garages/sheds. Post signs around the neighborhood (even further out at intersections in case kitty has been chased out of the area), since some people are not on social media. **Beware of scam calls/texts/emails/messages that ask for a code - do not respond to them. Also, ignore all the commenters/scammers telling you to follow a link to a pet rescue/drone service on Instagram or a website- all scams that ask for money.** Check and notify surrounding animal shelters and leave flyers there - also, take flyers to vet offices/ER vets, where someone may take your cat for a chip scan. If microchipped, notify the chip company that your cat is missing. Update/verify contact info if needed. If you have motion sensing cameras, check them to see if kitty has returned to the yard. Best wishes.
