SET LIVE TRAPS NEAR YOUR HOME. DO NOT WAIT. DUSK THROUGH DAWN IS BEST. Set where you can easily and frequently monitor them without disturbing the area and if you have cameras or can purchase one inexpensively like off of Amazon, that will connect to your phone, those are very helpful. Cover the back half of the trap with something that smells like you and something else that smells like the kitty and be patient not sitting live traps is the biggest mistake anyone can make. Yes, you might catch wildlife. Yes, you will have to release them but these animals don’t wanna attack you. They are more afraid of you than they are of them and yes, you have to put food in the trap. There’s no other way to do that. You can put catnip in there you can use sardines or tuna as long as it’s in water only do not use the cans because they are extremely sharp. Deboned rotisserie chicken is another favorite especially if it’s warmed up. There’s no guarantee you’re gonna catch the kitty on day one but my gosh, we have cats that have been missing over two weeks without any sightings and we’ve caught them anywhere between day one and day three sometime between midnight and three in the morning.

Softly talk to to her as you look for her slowly looking with a flashlight and carrying some strong smelling hot food. Check under bushes wood piles sheds garages etc. Ask neighbors to please check their property garage sheds and cameras!!! Let your mail carrier know its missing. Prayers for a safe reunion.

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

Check extremely good around your house and neighbors, shrubs, bushes, high grass, paper bags and trees, underneath porches and decks, outbuilding and garages, evening time when it’s quiet too, check all shelters in your county and animal control also.
