Knock on neighbor’s doors. Check the humane society, often, in person. Post on nextdoor and pawboost.
Kitties come out at night, so go out at night with a flashlight, shake treats and call her. Look in hedges, trees, under stairs, under decks, under cars and in window wells. Put out colored flyers and offer a reward.
Ask your neighbors to check their sheds and garages. Open your garage door slightly and put her bed and some food in there. Put up a ring doorbell and security cameras and see if she triggers it. Put out a humane trap with food in it and see if she goes inside of the trap (check the trap very often (once an hour or so) as you don’t want her to be trapped in the elements.
Put out an article of your clothing near the door or window where she escaped. Please remove the litter box as that can attract predators. Check your backyard during the early morning hours. It's amazing how many cats show up at the back door.
If your kitty is chipped, contact the Chip company and make sure your information is up to date. Also report the kitty as missing. This way if he/she is scanned by a vet, they will contact you.
