Put a dish,not a can of fishy wet food,or tuna outside near where she usually goes in and out, or where you feed her,put a minicamera pointing at the food dish, observe from your devices what animals go up to the food, and if you see your cat, later,or the next night,set up a humane trap (Havahart type), put the food dish inside,put a dish of cooked chicken (without the skin) outside,put the minicamera in the trap, attached to the ceiling, pointing down,at an angle,so you can see what animals go inside,put a towel over it that smells like your house. CAMP (Formerly FixNation) / Simi Feral Clinic Network: There are feral cat clinic resources servicing the region—including a clinic footprint in Granada Hills just a few minutes north of you. They frequently loan out specialized cat traps to residents who have scheduled spay/neuter voucher appointments. You can coordinate with regional TNR groups on community boards like the San Fernando Valley Feral Cat Network to borrow one. there is a Harbor Freight located right down the street from you in Northridge.It is located just 0.8 miles away from the intersection of Lindley and Napa (about a 3-minute drive or a short 10–15 minute walk) in the plaza at the corner of Reseda Boulevard and Nordhoff Street. Wyze Cam v4: One of the most popular and affordable options for under $35. It is a tiny cube camera with an IP65 weatherproof rating, color night vision, and two-way audio. You can fasten it magnetically or zip-tie it securely to the top ceiling of the trap. It connects via Wi-Fi.TP-Link Tapo C113 (2K): Priced around $25, this mini bullet camera is compact enough to easily wire or strap to a humane trap's interior. It features 2K resolution, clear IR night vision, and supports local MicroSD storage so you don't require a monthly subscription.Blink Outdoor 4: Priced around $60, this is a fully wireless, battery-operated camera. Because it requires no cords, it's very easy to position inside a larger humane box trap or strap to a tree facing the trap entrance.How to Fasten the CameraZip ties / Cable ties: The easiest method is to run heavy-duty zip ties through the mounting bracket (or the camera's base) and weave them tightly through the wire mesh at the top of the humane trap.Heavy-duty magnets: Both the Wyze Cams and some trail cameras come with strong magnetic bases. You can attach a metal plate to the top of your trap, allowing the camera to snap right into place.Positioning: Point the camera downward so you can observe both the cat food (the bait) and the animal's face as it approaches, helping you identify if it's the target cat, a raccoon, or another skittish animal.Helpful TipsNight Vision Check: Make sure to turn on night vision or IR mode, as most stray and wild animals will approach the food at night.Wi-Fi Strength: Before you leave the trap, test your home Wi-Fi connection right next to the trap to ensure the live feed loads without delay. You can get these minicameras on Amazon or Walmart

Did she live at your house, or on your property, ❗ Please do this Search your property thoroughly, look in crawl spaces, in, under, behind your shed, under the porch, under the house, under the deck. Post on Nextdoor in Cat Owner's group, and in Lost and Found Pets group, post on Neighbors app, they're both good resources to notify the community you don't need a Ring camera to post on Neighbors. Petcolovelost 24Petconnect are good sources to search and post on, too, they also offer free flyers for download. Many animal shelters and animal control services post their animals on Pawboost Petcolovelost and 24PETCONNECT, but don't rely on online, go into the shelter a couple of times a week to look through the cages, bring proof of ownership; Pictures, most recent vet bills

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Mainly their litter box and sprinkle their used litter around the yard as they'll recognize the smell and it'll deter other animals from coming around. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one and to check their cameras in case they appeared on them to get a sense of direction they could be. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.
