Place something personal like a favorite toy or blanket outside your door. Also food and water. Cats have a keen sense of smell. Your post has been shared

You might try a live trap, they are fairly cheap on amazon, my Jane wanted to come back but was too overwhelmed and scared, she had made a home under a backyard shed across the street and wouldnt let anyone near her. I saw she kept coming around the doors at night and if i didnt have other pets, i would have left the door cracked and that may have solved it. Eventually she was found eating hamburger in the trap on my front porch and all was right again. It took about 3 weeks for her to show up and i did have to release squirrels and possums along the way which were easy. Tuna in oil also makes a lot of scent. Make sure there's water too. If its cold out, wrap the trap in a blanket and make sure to check it often, check it often no matter what the weather is. In fact, best to keep a camera on it. I believe in Jane's case, the live trap was her only chance. Best of luck and a swift resolve for you I hope

Tips for finding your lost kitty I'm sure he/she is hiding nearby or could have been accidentally locked in a neighbor's garage - talk to all neighbors in a several block radius. Posters are helpful and do notify police and animal shelters.. Most importantly, I would get a chair, a bowl of her/his favorite food or tuna, a used poopbox for scent, and stay outside your door in that chair tonight and every night until he/she comes home. You must monitor the poopbox! The scent of poopboxes attracts predators like wild dogs and coyotes and most experts suggest caution. In my advice post I specify that you must remain outside to monitor the poopbox. Animals can smell these a mile away and the last thing you want is to lure your kitty into a coyote ambush. Here’s a recent joyous post discussing a lost kitty who was found: "Thank you all for help in finding Patty! She was found by kind neighbors a street over. She was stuck in a tree. Patty is getting all the love, dinner, fresh water, and all the attention.” Thank you Patty for reminding us to look in all possible places including high trees and utility poles especially at night. Kitties can climb up a tree or pole to escape from a predator often in the middle of the night when they are active. And here’s another story that might be helpful about beautiful Ella of Parma Heights in Ohio. Here’s what her CatMom Carolyn told us: We noticed our cat Ella was missing about 8 a.m. We searched the entire house, and surrounding property and walked around our neighbors homes. Posted pictures of her and talked to neighbors. Then after canvassing the neighborhood, we heard Ella meowing in a bedroom around 8 that evening. Ella was in a dresser drawer! Picture a mostly black cat on top of black exercise clothes. She was accidentally shut in by her CatMom early that morning. She will now be wearing a neon colored collar. Thank you beautiful Ella! Your traumatic experience in the drawer may very well now rescue other kitties with a fondness for soft people clothes. Thank you! <3 And the we read this from Shayna in the Akron area: WE FOUND NALA!!! Thank the Lord!! Turns out she was in our basement walls this whole time. I was downstairs playing with the kids and heard scratching on the walls. There’s a small hole in our ceiling but what we didn’t know is there’s a little gap that she must have fallen through. We had to bust open a wall but thank goodness we found her. She’s doing well. She’s been eating, drinking and asking for all the snuggles. <3 Back to the task at hand - Yes, I know it’s cold tonight but so is it cold for your baby – just bring blankets and a warm hat. Cats hide during the day but will come out late at night when they feel its safe. You need to be there when she/he comes back because he/she will not hang around and wait for you. Be patient and call her/him by name often. This will require some work and inconvenience but it will be well worth the effort.
