Mindy Rawlins, if Peaches is comfortable and confident in the territory where she's lost (she did not escape a fenced yard), it could be she just needs a little extra help getting home. Thoroughly search using a flashlight during the day and especially at dusk (when it's dark and quiet) to determine whether she’s ill or injured and hiding nearby, or stuck somewhere. Check every crack and crevice, look in outbuildings, containers, vehicles, under foundations, sheds and porches, into trees, etc. — call and listen carefully for Peaches’s cries (she may alert you to her location). And it’s important to ask neighbors to do the same and make sure Peaches didn’t hide and become trapped in a shed, garage, or vehicle, etc.
Please see this list of step-by-step instructions developed to help others in this situation (click on the link to the PDF) and let me know if you have questions. https://www.dropbox.com/s/huk0d1p6euu74ug/OutdoorCat.pdf?dl=0&fbclid=IwAR2TiOBxtcgt8odNRjcoGicoHsGDWrw3K9N4ox0GATJh4qGdsFD6T6gaXFA
In addition, this video explains the temperament and behavior of a lost cat — it may instill hope of finding Peaches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2eCoC63B9I
Good luck. Please keep us posted on your progress.
