She is most likely hiding out close by. Make sure all your neighbors are aware she is out and ask them to keep an eye out and to also check their outdoor cameras for any sightings. Also, ask that they check their garages,sheds and any other outbuildings in case she accidentally got locked inside. Cats tend to hide under structures such as decks, patios, or inside sheds or anywhere else they can fit. Leave your garage door open a crack and place items with her scent and yours along with fresh water and food. Most times they come back toward dawn, or at dusk/night, which is when they feel most secure. Call out to her often so he can hear your voice. Cats can take their time coming home so try not to panic. It’s not unusual for them to take several days and even over a week to come home. Please keep us updated. 🩷

Marlene Bardon Nice litter boxes should not be kept outside as they can attract coyotes.

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.

I would put the cat's litter box outside, under cover, along with some really smelly cat food and some clothes you wore recently to attract the cat. Keep an eye on it. Some people say not to put the box/food out because it might attract predators. I have known it to work. Check carefully around the outside of your house and your neighbors’ houses. Cats don't usually go far initially and they can tuck themselves into unbelievably small and unusual spaces. One person found her cat hiding in the grill on her patio after searching for three days. Go out late at night when it's quiet and call the cat softly. Make large, easily read flyers and post them around your neighborhood with the cat’s picture and your contact info. Post a lost ad on nextdoor.com. Ask your neighbors to check garages, sheds, under decks - anywhere a cat can hide and get shut in. Borrow a trap from a shelter or vet. Don’t give up. Good luck!

Put a box of your dirty clothes and linens outside your door, hopefully the scent will guide her home. Do not use the litter box, it attracts other predators like coyotes.
