We got our kitty back using a humane trap we bought at Tractor Supply store. Partially cover the trap to help hide it, but make sure there’s still good airflow. Use strong-smelling food like sardines or tuna as bait, and place the trap near an entryway or area your cat is familiar with.

Have you checked sheds, garages, etc...? If you have a regular feeding time, get some sardines, people tuna or a roaster chicken from the supermarket and go outside and call his/her name. Also put some dry food in a plastic container and shake it while you are looking for him/her. DO NOT LEAVE food outside because it will attract other critters. Get a good flashlight and look up trees at night and in the morning when it is still dark outside. You know (or should know) what your cats like, for examples: if they like catnip, use that to attract them or mine know the sound of the laser light key chain and come running when I pick it up. Put their litter box outside but do not leave it outside unattended because it will attract other critters. Also put out some dirty clothes so they can catch scents. The best time to find escapees is either early in the AM while it is still dark out or early PM when it is getting dark. Cats usually hide during the day. Chances are he/she isn't far from home. Put him/her on nextdoor, craigslist, pawboost and print out flyers to hang around your neighborhood, don't just call the humane society or check their website, go there in person every day! There are numerous lost/found pet pages on facebook, be sure and put him/her on there too! Also, call all of the local vets, he/she could have gotten picked up and taken to a vet, local shelter.

I’m so sorry. My cat was missing for 18 months and it was terrible. I did find her and want to share what worked. Don't give up! It's important that you do a few things. 1. Cats rarely travel far so make sure you check every shed, basement, etc that she could have gotten trapped in or might be hiding in. Check even if you’ve previously checked because sometimes cats wander off, get injured and then return and hide. 2. Make flyers (Pawboost has a free flyer and will post online as well as offer hints for finding her) with her picture and hand them to your neighbors. Ask them to check their basements, sheds, etc. People are much more invested in the search if they've talked to you personally rather than just seeing a flyer or a post on social media Scour the neighborhood and keep a list of all the homes that have received a flyer and talked to you. 3. Since not everyone is on social media, post the flyer at local businesses, grocery stores, libraries and vet offices - every place you can think of. 4. Make sure ALL vets, rescues and emergency clinics ( there are more than you think!) have the flyer and your contact information. If she gets injured, someone may take her directly to a vet for care. 5. Give the flyer to shelters and rescues so they can be on the lookout if someone brings her in as a stray. I would check IN PERSON every few days as the shelters are overwhelmed and may not get back to you. Or honestly notice it’s your cat. Make sure you check the feral/barn cat admissions too. Many scared cats are miscategorized as feral. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how important it is to go in person and to go often. 6. Ask neighbors if anyone has security cameras and see if you can review the footage. Ask to set humane traps once you’ve narrowed her location. Mackerel and KFC seem to work best as bait. Make sure you monitor the traps closely so no animals die of heat/cold or are attacked by predators while in the trap. 7. If she is microchipped, contact the company to alert them that she is missing and to make sure your contact information is up-to-date. 8. Post in all the lost pet groups and any community groups for your area on social media. Again, there are more than you think! Post regularly until you find her. 9. Make sure you replace the flyers regularly, post relentlessly on social media and keep checking with rescues, vets and neighbors. Keep posting! Don’t give up! There are millions of cats in shelters who never get reunited with their families because people give up too soon. I hope you find her soon!
