They can get locked by mistake in sheds garages and bats, ask neighbors to check and if they can leave doors open for a while. A frightened cat is hiding probably won’t come out when people are around. Most lost cats come home/ are found between 2-5 am so that’s a good time to look. If you can, leave a door or window cracked open specially at night and the kitty might walk back in. Flyers in the area help too. Best of luck, I’m sure you’ll find him soon.

Here are some tips that may be helpful in locating your lost Kitty Hero. Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats and or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well, they never go far they go into survival mode and hide in silence they will not always respond to This is the time they become most active and responsive. Place some dirty socks and pillowcases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take weeks to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flash light to see the glow of his eyes. Survival mode last 5 to 14 days. Once their hunger gets toa maximum, they snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. Make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Most people don't pay a attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss Cat. Here are some tips that may help you. Posters posters posters posters, everywhere including the houses behind you. Tape them to the sides of peoples mailboxes. Include the date last seen the location last scene and any other important information as well as a good picture. Tell all of your neighbors that are immediately near you to please check their security cameras and their garages , Their sheds, and under their crawlspace. If there is an opening. Cats have a tendency to hide rather than run, chances are your cat is close by. Always remember to call the shelters and check to see if anyone has turned in your cat. Don’t forget to look up Cats will often go of trees are on rooftops especially if they’re avoiding predators. There are websites you can use that will help you print flyers and make Robo calls to your neighbors if I use their name Facebook will take me off and delete this post but you can find them. Put your clothes that you have worn with your smell on it outside your door. Also, if it’s possible and there’s no other animal in the house that needs to be contained open a window when you’re there so the cat can come back in the house. I would advise getting a trail cam and set it around your house so if your cat is coming back when you’re not there or sleeping you will know. Go out and look for your cat at predawn hours and after the sun goes down is when they’re most active. If you have big bushes or a crawlspace that is probably a likely place that they can go especially in this heat. chances are there are Community cat colonies near you with a feeder, you may not know because they need to be discreet if you post on the Facebook group LA underground cat rescue net work, and see if any feeders in your neighborhood I’ve seen your cat show up to their feeding station. Most feeders are aware of who is a regular at their station and who is new. Most importantly don’t give up when the posters come down put them back up again. Most cats come back within a couple days Summit takes a little longer but don’t give up keep calling also, talk to landscape workers gardeners and delivery trucks they sometimes have eyes on things when you’re not there. I will pray for the safe return of your cat
