Please try these tips they have definitely helped others to get their pet home. Watch a tip video on youtube about how to find your lost cat,there are several. Post and check on Nextdoor for sightings. Also just heard about this site offering great useful tips so definitely check it out “lostcatfinder.com”
Just know your kitty is probably not far away so the sooner the better, put out something of yours or the cats out for scent, putting out the litter box is not recommended as it attracts unwanted critters that could possibly scare your cat off again.
🔺SO IMPORTANT…. Look with flashlight early a.m. and/or late at night, calling and shaking food. That part is crucial because those are the quiet hours and your cat would be more prone to coming out of hiding. put up flyers too. If you get any sightings use a trap, sometimes you can borrow from animal control or Amazon has them. I have recently heard some take smelly, oily fish (juice only) (sardines, tuna) and make a “smelly trail” around their house to help with scent. Dont give up too soon , i had one gone for weeks and as i was about to give up, my last night to call her, she was in our yard.
Also just heard someone found theirs after 70 days so…… 🙏🏻🙏🏻
EDIT: Regarding looking early a.m. or late p.m. hours I feed a stray and I see him on our ring camera before it gets truly light so when I say early a.m. I mean something like 530 am. Also when searching if you notice any feral cat colonies/feeding stations, definitely check them outRead More
Please file a missing report with the Virginia Beach animal shelter. If the cat is chipped, please make sure the registry has your up-to-date contact information.
Tonight after 10 PM, go out of your yard with a bag of kitty treats and a flashlight. Walk around your yard calling your cat’s name and shaking the kitty treats bag. Look in the bushes with your flashlight to see if you see your kitty hiding. House cats normally don’t stray more than 5 to 7 houses from their own.
 Print flyers with your cat picture and your contact information and take them around to your neighbors. Also ask your neighbors if they’ve been in their shed outbuilding our garage. That is where cats like to hide.
Visit the shelter, several times a week to check if your cat has been brought in.
