Rent or borrow a humane trap. The SPCA and other animal shelters rent them out for $100. When you return the trap you get your $100 back. Place the trap near where the cat escaped. Put some of the cat's favorite food and treats inside of the trap along with an article of your clothing with your scent on it. This method worked for me on two different occasions. If you trap the wrong cat or some other animal, put a blanket over the trap leaving the door exposed. Stand behind the trap and release the animal. Reset the trap. Time is of the essence so do this asap. Good luck and God bless.

Lost house cats usually do not go far. Look in,under, on top of all structures/trees in the near vicinity. Have a flashlight with you as his/her eyes will reflect in the dark. If you do see him/her, no sudden movements. Have some treats or his/her food with you. Also, if you can leave a door or window slightly open, he/she may come back in their own. Keep an ear to the outside after dark. Many kitties come back after dark and meow to be let back in. Leave a piece of clothing with your scent near the open space that is helpful.Have neighbors look in garages, sheds and other structures. Also if you did not see him/her get out or know for sure she/he did, check every inch of your house, she/he could be trapped or hiding somewhere. Good Luck!!

Please do these things asap, especially the dirty clothes and traps. Cats tend to stay close to home. Keep putting food out for him/her. Also place several pieces of recently worn, unwashed clothing outside of your house ASAP. If possible, try to borrow a humane trap and set it by the door through which the cat escaped. This is probably the best way to catch him/her because he/she may be returning to the house but you just aren't seeing them. Once you put a trap out, remove any other food except for the food in the trap. Call his/her name at night when it's quiet, and listen for his/her meow. Post fliers in your neighborhood, at pet stores and vet offices, etc. Be patient and continue to do this. Cats can be gone for days, weeks, or longer, and then just show up one day. Talk to your neighbors so they know to look for him/her and will know he/she is your missing pet and not a stray cat. If you engage people personally, they will be more likely to contact you if they see him/her. Also if you can safely leave the door open through which she escaped, do so and put a pile of dirty clothes and some stinky food like tuna, outside the door he or she got out from! Also check every nook and cranny in your home. Sometimes they are hiding in the smallest and unusual places!
