Please go back out there nightly to search. Have flashlight or headlamp so you can see eyes glowing. I have had one of my cats escape a few times from my house and she was always nearby and scared. Goober is probably still near where he ran off.

I'm sorry your beautiful mackerel orange (ginger) tabby and white cat escaped into uncharted territory, but please try to remain hopeful. Goober will not go far -- he's likely hiding in the first, best spot he could find, too scared to come when called or emerge in the daylight. Does the clinic have security cameras and did they see in which direction Goober took off? This is what I suggest: Alert everyone nearby in case Goober is hiding beyond the clinic property (and ask if anyone in the area has security cameras) then, if there’s time before dark and you can search without dislodging him from his hiding spot, focus your efforts close to where he was last seen and tiptoe around in the daylight using a flashlight, but be quiet and discreet so as not to frighten him, (shhh! DO NOT CALL or shake treats -- it's best to sneak up on him) check every crack and crevice, look in, under and around sheds, vehicles, furniture, under foundations, into trees etc. but suspend searching when it gets dark to give him the chance to emerge voluntarily. At dusk (or overnight if you have the chance) lay a familiar blanket in a discreet location near where he was last visualized. Sit low to the ground and open some tempting food. Call him softly to provide a familiar sound and direction (he won't come on command) and give Goober some quiet time to emerge. If he approaches don't make any sudden moves -- wait until he's close enough and pinch his scruff (to calm him) but don't let go until he's safely contained. If he doesn't show himself and you cannot wait any longer, leave something familiar (such as worn socks or teeshirt, an old shoe, etc.) to which h may gravitate in a few safe places (under shrubs, for example) along with some nourishing food. As long as Goober finds something familiar and/or eats there, he should stay put, providing additional chances to snag him. Bottom line, if you cannot get him to emerge and approach, your objective will be to identify a feeding location so you can eventually trap him, if necessary. Please keep me updated. I'm hopeful for some good news.

There's a deputy that lives in trailer next to Panhandle...if you ask I don't believe he would mind if you set traps trying to catch it. Let me know if you need help....we have some traps
