Mary Terrizzi Smith thank you! It is most likely that someone has taken her in; if she were out on the street, she would have come back. I really hope she gets returned to us.

We left our door ajar and our pet came back in the night ... many times they are hiding in nearby shrubbery and wont venture out until night when everything is silent . 🙏❤️

Melinda Honaker Hello, and thank you for the advice! We look for her every night. She doesn't need food or a litter box to find her way home by scent; she’s been going outside and coming back for five years. If she hasn't returned, she’s most likely locked in somewhere—if she manages to get out, she’ll definitely come back. I’m going to the shelter today. Thank you 🙏

The best time to look for a cat is late at night after the daytime sounds settle down. Go for a walk and take a flashlite scan into the trees and under bushes. A cat can fit in any hole that they can fit their head thru they have collapsible shoulder blades. Most indoor cats stay close to home but come out at night. Most important is to make your presence known. Go out every half hour after 9pm and call for them and stop and listen it's amazing what you can hear late at night. Get your voice and scent out there. They are looking for you also. Look for glowing eyes at night. If there is a dog sibling that the cat likes take the dog on the walk. If you open canned cat food or shake treats do so on your walk. If the cat has a noisy toy shake it on your walk. Make posters and put in every business within a mile of the home. Let your mail carrier know. If there are teenagers in the neighborhood let them know they love reward money and being a hero. Check all local shelters. Let local veterinarians know your info. If there is a feral colony near you check it out. If you can find the feeder of the colony give them your info. Make large signs and put in neighbors yards at least a mile radius of the home. This ensures that everyone in the area has the info. Put post it notes on your neighbors doors to look in sheds and garages. Post on every Facebook forum in your area. Post on Pawboost and For the love of Louie. Check Humane Society. So important to make your presence known every half hour after 9pm. Make a bed out of the cats carrier and put soiled clothes from inside the home around the bed. Put it as close to the house as you can. Leave a shed or garage open check them often. Camp in your yard. Most indoor cats are found late at night. Don't give up. Do not put food out or litter it attracts every animal in the area including raccoon opossum feral cats and coyotes. Your cat will know that there is food inside and that is incentive to keep them close to the house. If you are outside that's OK but take it in when you go back in. If your cat sees a predator eating their food it might make them retreat further. Most important is to let them know you are looking for them. Hope you find your baby

Rita Hamby Thanks, we’re doing all of that. She knows how to get in and can find her way home without fail. I’m afraid she isn’t nearby; she usually comes when I call her—even from far away, since she knows my voice. We’re hoping that whoever finds her will call the number on her tag. She only wanders as far as she feels confident she can return from

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a basement window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck.
