Here are tips I wrote up to find a missing kitty.
For a Missing Cat:
Here is what you need to do you right away- on your front porch or wherever he/she got out set up a feeding station. Put a bowl of fresh water and a blanket or shirt that smells like you at the door they escaped from( no food during the day) In the evening about 7 pm put out some canned food or whatever food he/she ate along with the water and blanket or shirt. Call to the cat by name and go inside - resist the urge to try to grab him if you see him come to eat- just observe patiently and see if he comes- it may be a few days. In the morning pick up any food and just leave the fresh water. They usually do not go very far and most likely are under a shed or deck closely. DO NOT put litter box outside- some people will tell you to do that but it will attract any stray cats around and may push your cat away from the area. Also place flyers around your area with your cell phone number and answer all calls in case someone sees him and keep your cell charged and with you at all times. You can even watch from a window in evening and leave door slightly open and he/she may come in. Good luck. It may be a few days so don’t give up. Check all shelters and humane society and post flyers all over in plastic sheet protectors with waterproof tape.
I would also strongly urge you to contact Dogs Finding Dogs to track your cat- they do an amazing job and can track exactly where the cat is hiding.

Also: in late evening go out and shake a bag of dry food and sit down quietly and listens for faint meows.
Also. Check with all your neighbors as cats can get in open doors of sheds and open doors of garages and then get locked in and can't return.
Good luck. Debbie Patrick
