If you have security cameras or can get some, or ask your neighbours, make sure the cameras are set to all motion and aimed at the ground where you have some enticing food. You might have to adjust sensitivity and block spaces you don't want motion picked up. If you don't have security cameras, you can get a Wi-Fi trail camera from Walmart. Easy set up, but might have to pay a small monthly fee. This will allow you to check when your kitty might be stopping by. That helps if you have to set a trap to know what time to put the trap out. You can buy a trap online, at a home improvement store, or reach out to a shelter to sign one out. When you set up the trap to catch your cat, do not leave it unattended. You want to be close by. The cat will be scared and could hurt themselves or something else could hurt the cat in the trap if left unattended. You want to be close to cover the trap with a towel or blanket to help calm them. When setting up the trap, either put a towel over the sides except where the cat enters, or put it on as soon as the cat is inside. You can try covering half as well and then when the cat is trapped cover the rest. Might need to try different ways. Put food in the trap in a sort of 'T' like formation. In the front, put a little bit of food to coax them in then put another back a little further, around the trip plate, and a long line at the back to make sure they go all the way in and trip the cage to close. It is usually best to put some news paper/cardboard as a liner on the bottom of the trap to keep the food from falling through the cracks and help the cat's feet to not get pinched in the wire of the trap. DO NOT place the litterbox outside, your friendly cat might not be the only animal it lures. You want your kitty safe when it comes back not attacked by a predator. It is better to put something that smells of you out. Also check for enclosures your kitty may have gotten trapped in such as garages, old chicken coops, crawl space, ect. If you have not already, make fliers and put in mail boxes, at local vets, animal shelters, etc..

These are generic search tips but most of them should apply. But since you are new to the area, I would also notify neighbors and animal control of the town where you used to live. While not super common, it's not unheard of for a cat to travel back to where it knows.Search at night with a flashlight (eyes will glow) up in trees and inside and under things on your property and up to three or four houses away. Cats normally stay pretty close to home. You can put something with the smell of the cat, or the scent of home, out on the porch. Put up missing cat posters, check with your neighbors, post on all local social media groups, and check with animal control every week. Leave your garage door up enough to allow the cat entry. You can also try searching early morning, before dawn, calling his/her name and carrying and open can of tuna or cat food. Hunger sometimes lures them out of hiding. Don't forget to check places like crawl spaces, garages, and sheds.

I am so sorry about your Kitty being lost. Put the Owner's worn clothes outside all around the house. Kitties don't go far, but they do hide a lot. When it is quiet and darker, go out and shake her food bowl and treat bag and hopefully she will hear it and come out. Talk quietly to her like you would if she was inside - yelling can scare them, though this is what we want to do because we want them HOME!! Knock on doors. Someone may have taken your Kitty in so she/he doesn't get hurt. Also ck with your Neighbors and ck their storage areas, sheds, etc. I know of a Kitty who was found in a storage room that had only been open for 5 mins. Put out flyers everywhere - stores, intersections, etc., and put the info on your car windows so that it gets the info out to more people. Use multiple actions to find your Pet...using only one may limit your success in getting your Kitty Home.
