Thank you so much for posting about this found tricolor cat (calico, tortoises and white). Does she appear hungry or frightened? Would it be possible for someone to get close enough to scan kitty for a chip (you may find a neighborhood volunteer on Nextdoor who will come to you with a portable scanner)? Have you searched this page and others in the area for “Kissimmee" or "(your neighborhood name)“ or "34746" or "calico" or "tortoises" — keywords that may have been used to describe the cat in a lost post -- to find a match? If not chipped I'll help by searching elsewhere and let you know what I find. Please share on other local lost and found pages, if possible, as well as Nextdoor and ask anyone claiming kitty for veterinary records to prove guardianship (there’ve been multiple reports of people trying to claim found cats to use as dog fighting bait). Thank you again for your kindness! https://www.pawboost.com/blog/what-to-do-if-you-find-a-stray-pet-a-step-by-step-guide-for-creating-a-happy-reunion/?utm_swu=4248&utm_campaign=FoundPetTipsMarketingFound&utm_content=link&utm_source=email&utm_medium=email

Cook chicken on the grill..put catnip outside. Play YouTube videos of kittens crying and shine a laser cat toy around the bushes.

If you lost a cat: Put smelly wet food outside, hav a hart traps work, check them often. At night shine a flashlight you may catch reflection of his eyes. Check shed, garages, under cars, anyplace he could hide or be stuck. Put up flyers, especially at vet offices. Talk to neighbors, ask if they have security cameras that may catch him walking by. They tend to move early morning and evenings. Put out used litter and fav humans worn clothes, familiar smells help bring them in. If possible, leave a patio or garage door open so he can get in. Contact rescues & county shelters, take a pic. Physically check county shelter often, they are busy. She will be very scared & may go into survival mode, she may not respond to you. Some wait until they're starving to come out for food. Keep food/trap out & check often. If you have another cat, try putting them outside in a SECURE carrier. Their meows may call the lost one in. Pray. Don't give up!

If you found a cat: Any vet will scan for a chip free of charge. Talk with neighbors and check past posts on lost pet sites, if you haven't already

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
