SHe is not safe outside - she is SCARED and hiding VERY CLOSE to the escape point but you won't know this because they are the best hiders. You must leave the escape door open 4 inches all night if possible starting now and call for her calmly from the escape point as the sun is setting and beyond...many cats tryi to get back inside but if the door has been closed you would not know if she's tried 20 times already. SO lure her to wet food with the door cracked open - WET FOOD ONLY - no dry food or raccoons will come - get a $29 mini blink camera aimed at the escape door aimed AT THE WET FOOD bowl - so you will find out if she comes to eat - it can take MANY NIGHTS - keep putting fresh wet food 2 hours before sunset and spend time sitting outside calling for her CALMLY - very calmly - she is in survival mode and terrified - she will hide from all humans. ***IF YOU SEE her on camera eating the food but still hiding from your calls THEN THE NEXT STEP IS TO HUMANELY TRAP HER- I will post details about this. YOu can get her home - do NOT rely on online - she is hiding THERE near you and your actual neighbors not seeing these online posts. FLYER and talk to every neighbor on your blcok - knock on doors if not home tape a flyer top and bottom to their front door (use painter's tape won't harm) so they don't miss the flyer. 🚨🚨🚨WARNING🚨🚨🚨 SCAMMERS will claim they found your cat! Or will tell you about a (FAKE) INSTAGRAM Pet recovery service they used - OR WILL SHOW YOU an AI (FAKE) photo of your cat - these are SCAMMERS!!! SCAMMERS will text you saying they’re affiliated with Pawboost or an ANIMAL SHELTER and that they HAVE YOUR CAT and that YOU need to PROVE who you are by giving other phone numbers, your email, verifying google codes etc or to send money to get your cat from the shelter. These are all SCAMMERS! THEY WON'T Send you a PHOTO of your cat (they'll make up any excuse) OR THEY'LL SEND a PHOTO of a similar cat OR AN AI FAKE PHOTO - or a blurry video - but it’s not your cat! Look closely. Google the photo they send it could be a photo they stole from the internet. Please know that If your actual neighbor sees or has your cat they will give you information freely (and will post a PHOTO on your listing and not make you ‘send a code or personal information or money. 🚨🚨🚨There’s a NEW SCAM they will call you saying they are animal care and control and that your cat was brought in but got hit by a car and needs an operating then they will ask you for payment - THIS IS A SCAM!!!! Animal care and control would NEVER ask for money 🚨🚨🚨 ASK TO FACETIME ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE YOUR CAT (TO PROVE THEY HAVE YOUR CAT) AND THEY ARE ASKING YOU FOR A $ REWARD. SCAMMERS are the ONLY PEOPLE WHO ASK FOR A REWARD. 🚨🚨🚨There’s a NEW SCAM on Facebook the scammer will say something like ‘my husband found your cat or your cat was hit by a car please message me your phone number and send $ “ meaning they want you to message them from your Facebook messenger your phone number! 🚨🚨🚨The Facebook SCAMMER will tell you to look up a lost cat search team they used on Instagram or another platform saying their cat was found within hours -it’s a total SCAM. LOOK AT THEIR FACEBOOK PROFILE - you may see many (PAID) followers but they are not following anyone, The profile will have a few photos only, usually just selfies and the profile was created not long ago. You will see no posts / conversations with friends , I report the account to Facebook Scammers are heartless
