Alert local shelters and police. If not microchipped, ck shelters in person every day. Not found over phone. Even if chipped, ck shelters. Someone found their chipped cat at shelter. Put up laminated flyers around w pic of pet. Go out late night w flashlight and speak softly outside for a bit until cat feels safe to come out of hiding. Flashlight may catch the cats eyes and light them up. Set up trap w tuna, cats smell and your worn clothing. Post on “Nextdoor” and for “The Love of Louie”. Cats won’t come to you, they depend on you to find them. Scroll thru this site daily. Easier to find if chipped. Someone just found theirs by sleeping outside on their porch w flashlight on their face. They had food w them also. You are the best person to get kitty back. CHECK SHELTERS OFTEN! THEY DON’T KEEP LONG. Put a live trap out by the door, in the garage and leave the garage door open about 6-8" with cat food in it. To trap cat: A rescue bought a rotisserie chicken from Kroger and shredded some with some juice and got it in the first try in a trap. They don’t go far from home because they are scared and come out at night time, when quiet. If you use a trap, monitor frequently & also put a blanket in it with your scent. Keep checking this site daily for at least a year.

Also post her on the For The Love of Louie website for lost pets, Nextdoor and the Michigan lost pet website. Keep checking all the lost pet websites and shelters where they take lost pets. Check shelters in cities close by also. Check Petfinder in case a rescue group finds your cat and posts her there. Ask neighbors to check their garage and sheds. Put up flyers everywhere. Put some of your clothing on your porch. Go out late at night when it’s quiet and call her.

Presuming escaped from carrier at her own home… Your Missing Cat will try to re-enter the home when the neighborhood is quiet. If it all possible, leave the door ajar that the kitty escaped from and secure other companion animals to a separate room of the home. He/she will try to re-enter when the neighborhood is quiet in the evening and overnight hours. Make sure you physically check underneath and in the engine compartment of your vehicles prior to starting in the morning. Litter box WILL attract community cats and predators, potentially pushing your lost cat out of the area. Clothing/bedding that smell like him/her and his/her family outside the home immediately. If you have a garage, leave the door open enough for him/her to get in. If you live in a mobile home community look under yours and your neighbors homes. Check around your home: bushes, up in trees, deck, porch etc. If their head fits their body will too! Door knock neighbors and ask them to check outbuildings, sheds, garages and ring cam footage. Go out periodically through out the night shaking his/her treats or opening a can of wet food and call to him/her. Renting/borrowing/buying a live trap and setting within the first 24 hours your cat has been missing is a good idea. Live traps need to be monitored frequently. Be prepared to release wildlife. Posting flyers in your neighborhood as well as getting a flyer to rescues, shelters and animal control services is very essential to the recovery of your lost pet.

I am sorry to hear she got out of her carrier. If you don't find her today, please put up flyers all over the neighborhood where she got out and adjacent neighborhoods and nearby businesses, and ask neighbors in the area to check their garages and sheds. Most cats stay close to where they were lost and many people are not on social media - so will never see this post. Sometimes cats do find their way back home if you don't live far (I know of a cat that found her way back home over a mile away). Best wishes and prayers in finding your sweet Sweetie Pie. 🙏
