Sorry for the late update Ruby is back home, she didn't run away she just moved back down to our empty Apartment and was living at a hole in the wall. One of my neighbors gave me a trap cage we put it down there the next morning she was trapped and she's back home laying in warm beds and not living at a hole in the wall thank you guys so much I appreciate you all.

Hope u find your kitty❤️ Put food near your door. Place a baby monitor and/or home security camera near the food so you can hear/see when your cat is there eating and go and get him/her. Check MADACC and other humane societies. Post on Lost Cats of Wisconsin. Keep checking each day! Check under bushes and other places in your yard and neighborhood to see if he is hiding there. Cats become scared and won't come when called. Don't give up. People find their cats months later. My friend found their cat 3 months after it got lost. It was hiding under a bush in the neighborhood, not coming when called and acting feral… very scared! Prayers! Hope u find your kitty❤️ Put food near your door.

Good news is we found her she's in our old apartment in the bat but they opened up a wall to fix the plumbing and she's inside of the wall underneath a bathtub and we don't know how to get her out I'm going to talk to the landlord today I'm just very glad she's not outside in the cold or you know running in and out of traffic thank you guys so much

Thank you to everyone. I've had her ever since she was 2 months old she'll be six in August she does not come to people she don't even come to my boys and I she's so scared and skittish and I don't know why we've had her her whole life and I'm afraid that she's out there cold and man my heart is breaking so bad.

One of our cats was lost years ago for 10 days and I thought for sure he was gone for good. I tried all the things that people suggest but the only thing that worked was old school flyers with a color picture and description and how to contact me. I also asked that people check their garages. I put those up in the neighborhood and I made one for each neighbor's house in a two block radius of my home. That is what ended up working. A neighbor called and said they thought an animal was in their garage and it could possibly be my cat. I went to check and it was him! I thought for sure I might never find him. Not everyone is on these sites, some people don't always use social media daily, not everyone thinks to call MADACC or the humane society. I would try the flyers and see what happens. Good luck to you!❤️

My heart goes out to you. I have been through it myself. Here are some tips I've put together over years of working with rescue. * Don't wait for him/her to come home. Yes, he/she may do that, but most cats are scared and go hiding in small places, mostly close to home, a few houses or a block away. (They can go a few miles if chased or desperate, mostly in desperation looking for water and food.) They hide under cars, decks, patios, porches, in sheds, drain pipes, stairs, window wells, garages, bushes, woods, up trees, roofs, etc. Walk around calling their name, shaking a treat bag or favorite toy with bell. Carry smelly food to encourage them if scared and hiding. Listen very, very carefully for low meows. Use a flashlight to catch and reflect their eyes. A good time to go looking is twilight and very early morning/pre-dawn, when it’s quiet and calm so they may feel safer to come out and it’s also feeding time. * Talk to and alert everyone you know and that lives in your vicinity, as well as local businesses. Notify and check with animal control/shelters/humane societies (MADACC in Milwaukee county) and local veterinary offices. Post on and check lost sites, such as Lost Cats of Wisconsin (file your report there to create your FREE flyer and a post on Pet FBI ), Nextdoor, various community FB pages, Craig's List. Post flyers on corners/posts, in front of your home, and with neighbors, businesses, and anyone in the vicinity. * Put out a carrier or something right outside your door for shelter and safety. Place clothing/blankets with a familiar scent, yours and/or theirs, inside or nearby. * Searching, go out a few blocks, then back close, then out farther and back close. You may miss the cat or the cat may move or may not be meowing. Repeat over and over, looking carefully on the ground for paw prints and for places they might hide. * If you have a garage, leave open with smelly food favorites, water, clothing/blankets with familiar scent, their old litter box in garage. If you have a family dog who is close to the cat, give the dog something with the cat’s scent and then a treat; and then go walking around, watching your dog very carefully. You can even do this with another cat close to home, if you have a cat harness and leash. * Get or borrow a humane live animal trap and set it up with tuna or some other smelly cat food. Be sure to check it frequently. But in extreme weather, do not set it unless you can monitor it constantly and bring in immediately if caught. * And never stop looking! Never give up! Too many give up too soon. It may take weeks or more before you find and/or someone turns in your cat to an animal shelter. Make sure to contact and also GO IN PERSON to your local shelter/humane society (MADACC in Milwaukee county) to look at all of the cats they have there. Don’t rely on just pictures or the person answering the phone to have all updated info on who they have there. They do their best, but you need to check in person on a regular basis.

I've been through this before. Often they are disoriented and will not come to you even if you call them by name. I've literally had to crawl into crawl spaces under my building and get one of mine. Once he was looking at me through bushes. My flashlight has helped catch his shadow and eye reflections.
