Kitty is likely hiding close by (especially if an indoor-only cat). Leave food and water nearby. Also place a protected large container shelter with unwashed towel/blanket inside. A little used litter could also betered nearby. SEARCH OFTEN AND THOROUGHLY---under parked cars, down alleyways, in neighbors' yards, under shrubs/piles of debris, up trees, under porches, near dumpsters. Check for open bat doors and broken windows in homes/bldgs (garages, sheds, etc.). Take a flashlight, carrier, and treats/favorite food with you, and call kitty's name while you search on foot. Call out to kitty and listen carefully. Find out if anyone around/near your block feeds strays. Post flyers *door-to-door* on & around your block, along streets, with local businesses and area vets. Ask neighbors to check their properties and to text you immediately if they see kitty. File a report with area shelters and contact your microchip company to report and update your contact info. Also post on NextDoor.com and Craigslist (lost&found) and any social media sites in your neighborhood (or a block email group). Consider purchasing or borrowing a humane trap from a local vet, rescue group or shelter (The Spayed Club clinic may be able to loan you loan one). Again, SEARCH for kitty as often as possible throughout the day! Keep us posted.
