Her names is pookie and she gets scared very easily, ran away Sunday night and have never left before this instance so she might run or get skittish if approached.

PLEASE EDIT the top of your post to include the cross streets. That area covers a great deal of ground. So, more specific details about the location are sorely needed to get the help others can provide. Once you've confirmed she's not hiding deep inside somewhere... ⚠️ Time is of the essence so getting outside ASAP is crucial.(Seriously. Like now.) ➡️ Go out OFTEN, several times, at various times of day. 🌙 Especially during the quiet hours late at night. Cats often venture out between dusk and dawn/early morning. 🔶️ BUT ANYTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME TO LOOK! ❗️ ➡️ STAY OUT for as long as you can each time. Search in ALL directions outward, in a radius, from your home. Indoor cats usually don't go far at first, staying in a radius of about 2-5 houses nearby. So EXPAND your search area each time, rechecking the areas as you go along. 🐈 Calmly call for or talk to her; so she doesn't hear the anxiety in your voice and stay hidden. Use normal or quiet voice as she may be too afraid to respond, much less come to your call. So it's important that you... 🟡 Use a flashlight to check for eye shine, day or night. ↪️ Look under and inside EVERYTHING. Under decks, in sheds or garages,etc. Cats can squeeze into very tiny and unusual hiding places. 🍤 Bring treats, tuna, toys, or a friend. 🗣 Record any other pet or favorite family to play while you search. ☑️ Pause. Listen a lot. And listen long. ❇️ Make easy to read flyers to hand out to your neighbors and area businesses, etc. 🏘 Go door to door. Talk to EVERYONE. Leave a flyer with them and on EVERY door. Be sure to ask them to check security footage. 👀 ✴️ Make BIG BRIGHT posters with a large photo and easy to read. Keep it simple and straight to the point. Use bold print for key points. (Passersby may only have a chance to glance at it.) ✴️ Put posters in your yard and several around your area.(Remember their locations to remove, for after she's home.) 💦 Put out water near home(and food only if monitored) 🚫 But please avoid setting out a litterbox, as they tend to attract predators and other unwelcome visitors that may deter kitty's desire to come near. 🐾️ Hang out her bedding and some of your unwashed items for a scent trail. 🐾 Create a trail with cut up (dirty towel) pieces low to the ground (in bushes works best) leading towards home. ✅️ Post on Nextdoor, Pawboost, Petco, Craigslist, and the county website. ✅️ Check Facebook for your neighborhood/area's chat group (s), there may be several. Join and post there. ⚠️ Be scammer savvy. ✅️ Alert local veterinarians and pet related establishments nearby. 💟 Being outside is key. So please spend as much time as possible out in you yard and that area. 🏠 If possible, please leave a way for her to get back inside. 🔊 Double check that the microchip has your current information. ✔️Carefully consider and research the use of a live trap. 😽 Don't give up. Recently a kitty was found & reunited 44 days later! Prayers for your kitty's safe return.🐈‍⬛
