If she got out a basement window, it is a likely spot she’d return to because it’s recessed and feels safe. Sharing your post. Meanwhile she is likely close by. Indoor cats hole up in the nearest place that feels safe, under or behind things, shrubs, decks. A humane trap with smelly food (and if possible a camera) could be a big help. Put your unwashed clothes out by your doors. (People will tell you to put out the litterbox - don’t do that, it can attract predators.) Put signs inside plastic sheet protectors on nearby poles. Tell your neighbors to check cameras and keep an eye out. Go out at night and call softly, shaking a recognizable treat bag or toy. Consider a laser toy light or flashlight to draw the cat’s attention. Best wishes.

Ask someone if they have a drone (possibly heat/thermal for night vision) to have them use it to find your dog and if your dog fits the description ask if you can view their video tapes to see if it's her. Post in newspaper bc not everyone has internet or facebook, ask if you can air on your local news channel, ask your neighbors if they can check security cameras to see if she's on the recording to see where she headed last. Put fliers on the 2 back windows of your vehicle.

one of the most critical steps in recovery: get large, attention-grabbing signs up all over the area where the cat was lost or is being sighted. Driving around aimlessly or relying on hope and prayer does not bring lost cats home. Signs do. Clear, bold, visible signage saves lives. It alerts neighbors, drivers, and businesses to be on the lookout. It turns one set of eyes into hundreds. Start with a minimum of 100 signs. Do not hand them out-ask people to take a photo of your sign instead. Please—if your cat is missing or if you’re helping someone search—don’t skip the signage. It’s not optional. It’s the difference between a reunion and a tragedy.

Put up fliers on all poles, post offices, vet offices, stores, gyms, anywhere you can think of and in mailboxes in the area. Go door to door to let people know the cat is missing. Go in person to local shelters (PSPCA, ACCT, etc) and do not rely on phone calls because they are busy and might not check. Finally last care report at ACCT. Put out the used litter box and some of your worn unwashed clothing and a bed or blanket he sleeps on so he can track the scent. Check under all neighborhood decks, porches, sheds and ask people to check inside their sheds and garages. Also check under and around all landscaping (shrubs, bushes, flower beds, etc.) in the neighborhood. Let the area mailman know to keep an eye out for him. Go out at night with the flashlight calling his name and shaking food or treats. Borrow a humane trap from a shelter, rescue group, vet, etc. , etc. Fill it with smelly food like KFC rotisserie chicken, sardines or tuna and cover it with a blanket or towel. If she is microchipped contact the company immediately to be sure your contact information is up to date. They may also help with creating fliers, etc. Go in person to local vets to inquire if someone may have brought her in. Post on Pawboost Alert. Also on Nextdoor for your town.

Indoor only cats rarely travel far - they seek an immediate hiding place (under a deck or porch, under brush, in a garage or shed) and hunker down out of fear. Immediately start searching around your house as well as your neighbor’s houses with a flashlight (get on your hands and knees and shine the light under decks etc) - shake a treat bag and call it’s name and listen for a possible soft meow. (they are too scared to come out) ASK YOUR NEIGHBORS TO OPEN GARAGES AND SHEDS TO SEE IF THE CAT GOT LOCKED INSIDE. They can stay in this spot for weeks! Indoor only cats RARELY come out during the day - they only come out after dark and into the wee hours of the morning. Be sure to check the surrounding trees as cats are often chased up trees and will sit up there for days and days…. What we have had great success with is this: Open your door throughout the night and call it’s name - often they will come running back in!Sit outside on your deck/porch and walk around your property and call it’s name during the night… and the number one thing that seems to be working is to leave the door ajar for it to get back in during the middle of the night! (Lock all your other pets away for the night!) Most cats have been coming in on their own between 2-4 am! Put all their smelly stuff (see below) near the door outside and inside as well as food! Cats have an amazing sense of smell - bedding, your dirty clothes/shoes, and a tiny bit of strong smelling wet cat food outside to attract your cat. We just heard of a tip of blowing a fan out the house window so that your house smells waft through the outside air to attract them back. Some people don’t agree w the litter putting dirty litter box out - if you live in an area with wild animals close by maybe skip that part. Set a Humane trap (like a Hav-A-Heart wire trap) bait it with smelly cat food….this is sometimes the ONLY way to catch a scared indoor only cat AND IT WORKS! Please if you put a trap out you have to check on it frequently especially in extreme weather. Hang LOST posters immediately and give one to every neighbor as too many people just assume when they see a cat that it is a stray - if they know you are looking for your cat they will be extra vigilant and want to help. Ask them to take a photo of any cats they see in your area –sometimes people think it is your cat but it is not. Put REWARD on the poster but not an amount. Immediately contact your Animal Control Officer and provide photos/description. Also contact local shelters, rescue groups and Vet offices. Post on Facebook on both local, county, & state pages (i.e. “Lost & Found Pets) also put on Pawboost Alert and Nextdoor.com. Don’t just call shelters go to them. If your pet is not micro chipped please do so right away. DO NOT GIVE UP! It could take days, weeks or months but your cat is out there and you must keep up the search and spread the word with posters, speaking with neighbors, social media etc!

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!!
