♦️🐈Set up a humane trap. Monitor it with a security camera or a trail cam. You can try tuna, chicken-rotisserie and KFC work well (no bones of course) sardines or even just canned cat food, their favorite treats or even catnip. Try pouring some chicken broth around the house/area. Try putting some small tempting pieces outside the trap, then some leading into the trap with the bulk of it in the back behind the trip plate. Try covering the side and back with a towel. Make sure you monitor and check the trap frequently. Can also put something with your scent and/or the cats scent inside the trap or wrap around the trap. ♦️🐈Leave a window, door, garage door partially open, after securing any other pets. Try putting down a trail of tasty treats leading into the house especially if seen and just won’t come to you. ♦️🐈Check with neighbors in case the kitty was found and they took it in. ♦️🐈PHYSICALLY go out and look for the cat. Get on your hands and knees. Search your own property and then expand to neighboring properties, with permission. Cats can get into small spaces and will hide in silence. Use a strong flashlight to look under porches, decks, sheds, dense brush, drainage pipes/ditches, grills, oil tanks, etc. You may catch their eye reflection in the light. Check window wells, up trees, under cars, in cars, car engine areas, even groundhog holes. ♦️🐈Follow the edge of the house or building. A panicked cat will most likely follow along the side of a house or building they got out from. ♦️🐈Check garages, sheds, buildings cat could have gotten trapped in or under. Check any foreclosed/abandoned/under construction homes in your area that the cat could have gotten trapped in. Ask neighbors to check around their homes, vehicles, any buildings the cat could have gotten trapped in, basements, garage ceilings. You’re probably better off checking yourself if the neighbor will allow. Not many are going to actually look under porches, decks for your lost cat. And if they got trapped in a neighbors shed, they may not look in the many hiding areas where a cat could hide. ♦️🐈check pools in the area in case your kitty fell into one. THINGS TO TRY/DO ♦️🐈Put out food/water near where the cat got out. Place anything with owners scent on outside. ♦️🐈Shake their treat/food bag, open a can of food outside. ♦️🐈Post flyers -place them in ziploc bags to keep them dry. Drop off flyers to neighbors, vets, local businesses, etc. Flyers are important. Not everyone uses social media or is aware of these sites. People may just think your cat is just another stray cat, especially in areas with stray cats. ♦️🐈Post to Lost/found sites, shelter/rescue Facebook pages. Send a picture with your contact information/location to vets and shelters in your area. Most have Facebook sites you can message them with the info. Post to Craigslist. Check shelters and rescues in person. Post to the NextDoor and Ring app(if you have Ring) ♦️🐈Try just sitting outside quietly talking. Try using a laser pointer at night to draw them out of hiding. LOST CAT BEHAVIOR ♦️🐈They tend to not go far unless chased by a predator, another territorial cat, dog, human. They generally hide very close to the house they got out from. ♦️🐈They can hide in silence. And in fear. Some will mew very softy so listen closely. ♦️🐈Some will come back after midnight or the very early morning hours. ♦️🐈If you moved and didn't move far, check your old place out. Some cats return to their former home. ♦️🐈They generally will not come if called. But sometimes you can hear a soft mew if they are hiding close by.
