If she is an indoor only cat or outside her territory , she is hiding very nearby where she was last seen. The good news is indoor cats are always found you just need to look everywhere! Look with a flashlight even during the day. Put dirty laundry abd her bedding ASAP with food and water and bedding. . Look under bushes, decks, porches and cars with a flashlight even during the day . Look for her anywhere she could hunker down and hide in or under. Put flyers on neighbors porches asking them to check their property throughly for anywhere she could be hiding in case she slipped out of your yard. Look inside sheds snd garages too. Post on Nextdoor and file a lost report with with the shelter asap . Hope you find your kitty soon . Just don’t stop looking everywhere . Our daughters cat slipped out of the house and hid almost two weeks until we saw her on security cameras. We finally set a humane cat trap near her litter box and caught her within a few hours. So leave the porch light on and put out some tuna or smelly cat food where you can monitor from a distance. If she continues to hide set the trap in the early morning hours picking up all outside food. Do not leave food out at night. You will find her, just don’t stop looking. Hope you find your sweet kitty soon.

If she is an indoor outdoor kitty put flyers on neighbors porches asking them to check their property throughly. She is more than likely trapped somewhere nearby. Look in garages, sheds, bats, crawl spaces, storm drains. Look on roofs and up in trees too. Post on Nextdoor and file a lost report with the San Leandro Pd Animal Control . Pets found in SL city limits are taken to the Oakland SPCA. If unincorporated SL file a lost report with the shelter in Dublin. File a lost report with the microchip company too and make sure contact info is current. If she is ill or injured , she will hide like an indoor only cat. So look with a flashlight even during the day under bushes, cars, porches and decks. Cats don’t run away. So when it is quiet walk the street, shake her treats and listen closely with a flashlight for anywhere she could be trapped inside and unable to return home! Hope you find her soon.
