Hi, this helped me bring my cat back and several of my neighbors' cats.. I copied from another post when my cat was missing and it helped bring her home and have since shared it many times. Natalie……I helped run a cat rescue for years. What I’m sharing here come from professionals who know what works to find your cat. Please take the time to read. Please know that cats stay close to home……between 2 houses and 2 blocks. YOU looking aggressively gives high odds of finding Debbie. They will hide under things like a deck. My friends looked all day and then went back out after dark with a flashlight and found Marley hiding under the next door neighbor’s deck. His eyes glowed from the flashlight. He did not respond to their calls which is typical as cats are in protective from predators mode. They are scared. That’s why looking hard is critical. Cats will try to return home between dusk and dawn. Crack open a garage or regular door to make it easy for Debbie to come back inside. Sleep nearby so you can hear her if she tries. Someone told me they did this. Their cat walked into the kitchen while they were eating dinner. Someone shared they found their cat trapped in a neighbors camper. Ask your neighbor’s to check their structures. A cat owner told me she asked her neighbor to do this. Her cat was hunkered and hiding in his garage. People have shared finding their cats by putting out flyers with the cat’s image in the area. Your odds are significantly increased of finding Debbie if you go door to door with those flyers. Someone did this and found an elderly couple had taken in his cat. A number of folks found their cats by going out late at night and quietly calling to their cats with positive results. They came running. Calling to your kitty, use a calm, loving voice like you normally talk to Debbie. I was out every day calling to and looking for my cat. He could hear me and did eventually return after a few days while I was outside working in the yard. My other cat was spooked up a tree so look up! Professionals have shared putting out a litter box will attract other cats to your house which will deter Debbie’s return. Put out something with your smell on it like a pillowcase and a piece of your unlaundered clothing. Report Debbie missing to The Humane Society or any animal shelters in case she turns up there. Go there every few days to look for her. People have found their cats doing that. ❤️🐾🙏 If he/she has a chip, please make sure it has all of your current info so you can be contacted if shes found. Please post on Lost and Found pets pages. Also, cats are usually close to home. They will not come when called bc they are afraid. Check in drainage ditches and under cars and bushes. You can use a flashlight at night to look for their reflecting eyes. Put in a missing cat report at your local animal shelter. Also keep your windows and doors or garage door cracked IF you have no other indoor animals that can get out and if safe for you to so so. Put your smelly clothes outside and keep refreshing them every couple of days so they know where home is. If they got spooked they may be disoriented. Do NOT put out a dirty litter box bc it can attract bully cats or predators. Only put out food when you can watch it. **If you know anyone that hunts you can use a game camera that will take snapshots of moving critters at night. You can also aim any alarm cameras toward the ground. Otherwise you can purchase these cameras. Put up signs everywhere, as not everyone is online, such as young kids that may be outside playing and see your cat, or elderly people. Also tell all of your neighbors kitty is missing. Everyone needs to bang on their car hood before driving in case shes hiding in there. From another post: I'm sorry kitty is missing. Hang fliers--they work. Notify the microchip company that she is missing. Visit local animal controls in person. Notify local veterinarians. Post to the Next Door app for area lost. If kitty is normally indoors only she is likely very close to home. Sit quietly outside at night w a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Put out stinky mackerel or canned pink salmon. A trail cam can be helpful. You might need a live trap. Don't lose hope. Best of luck. https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-pet-behaviors/kitty-litter-myth/

This also happened to me and a cat I had years ago. My cat escaped from the rental house right after I brought him inside. He was missing for 27 days. Each morning and night, I biked a block around the area of the house I rented and called his name loudly in a happy voice to keep him calm if he heard it so that he would not be worried, and when I got back in the yard, each time I yelled his name over and over so that he could locate where the house was. On the 27th night, I saw sitting him in the backyard and brought him inside. Another way to try to get your kitty back is by setting a live trap with some wet, smelly cat food pushed to the back of the cage so that the trap's spring will activate the door when it's stepped on. Perhaps you can drape a towel or sheet that has yours and/or her scent on it, so that she can find her way home by scent. Placing objects like toys or strands of your hair might also help her locate your home through scent. Also, there is a pheromone spray that attracts cats but not coyote and then you can spray it around and in the cage to attract her. A live trap can be purchased or rented at a pet store, such as Tomlinson's Pet Store, and this store also has the pheromone spray I mentioned. The Austin Humane Society also rents, or used to, live traps. Maybe that place or a rescue in your area will offer the same service. I hope these ideas are helpful for you. It's best to look for cats in the early mornings and late evenings after the noise from people and automobiles have subsided. If your cat is fixed, she won't travel more than a block away, so talking to neighbors and putting up color-printed flyers that are laminated, which will help keep flyers from weathering, may also help in locating your kitty. Much good luck to you and your cat. I hope you find your kitty.
