Checking neighbors backyard properties is crucial. (Neighbors will not check as thoroughly as you will, or at all, so ask them if you can check) Indoor cats will hide quickly after getting outside. Check under bushes and remember, when afraid, they won’t respond to you calling them. Someone in my area had their cat get out and she found him 3 and a half weeks later only 4 houses away hiding in a backyard under patio furniture. The only reason he was detected was because the lady who lived there happened to look out her window and see him under the table in the backyard and recalled seeing the lost cat notice on our community FB page. -put out (unwashed) cat bed/blankets/your clothes that smell of home -put up posters in your area- important-not everyone is on facebook + if someone sees your cat but cannot find your lost cat post -leave trails of vacuum contents leading to your home -leave a basement window or garage door open enough they can get in.

Here are some good tips people gave me when they found their lost cats: I know this is a lot to read but please read it it will help you find your kitty Don’t wait until your kitty comes home. The most important thing is go out there right away talking to neighbors and ask if you can check their garages and sheds under sheds, under stairs, decks, trees and under bushes and your own backyard, under cars and up trees another cat was found in a garage also check everywhere in your house. Also check in your house in drawers under couches some were found inside the couch behind the fridge and in basement. Cats don’t make a sound when they are scared. your kitty might be locked in somewhere. and putting up posters everywhere even a few streets over and on the end of your drive way with a picture of your cat and your info not everybody is on facebook. . Put a piece of clothing and shoes that you have worn and a cardboard box and food put it outside leave your garage door and basement window open a bit. Have a trail of treats going to your house. Use a toy on a string cats like to play and a laser pointer. Some cats came home between 2 am and 5 am. Take posters with your info to all shelters even outsite your area and vets in person and check them every few days; they may identify a male cat as a female cat at shelters and check kijiji and check and join every facebook site in your area people share and comment on them. Not everybody likes cats and they will not check their sheds and garages nor post lost cats. When cats are scared, they don’t make a sound Check construction sites some cats were found in unfinished basements. recently lost cats were found locked in a shed, a garage, stuck under sheds, decks stairs and crawlspace and couldn’t get out. on a window sill, and in a neighbour's basement, in the attic and in a neighbour's car engine , window wells in empty houses and under cars under tarps one was found locked in a camping trailer one was found in a mattres in the house. Someone found her cat DOWN IN A 5 FOOT DRAIN ON NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. Some cats get disoriented and can’t find their way home extend your search a few streets over. best times to go look for your cat are dusk or first light. Take a flashlight with you, cats' eyes will reflect back at you. BE CALM ..POSITIVE ..CALL LIKE YOU SEE THEM ..CALL VERY SOFTLY ... CALL OFTEN .. SHAKE TOY TREATS. . Some cats came home between 2 am and 5 am. Some people said the cat came home when the emptied the vacuum cleaner on their lawn. Cats were found between 10 and 20 km away from home please extend your search a few streets over with posters. Some cats were gone for weeks and month and were found so please don’t give up your kitty is out there waiting for you. Also every town has a TNR they feed feral and stray cats find out where they are and check a lot of cats were found at the feeding stations. Good luck I pray your will find your kitty. Is there any places they can get into the ceilings? Or even open vent work? Also check closets or washer/dryer if there is any chance it was left open just a bit. Couches and box springs are another popular place for them to hide. They can be very sneaky! This is what this lady said--- Wow so thanks to everyone advice I literally shook the contents of the vacuum into the air in the backyard softly called her name and sat down shaking some treats 5 mins later I hear a faint meow and she appeared. I now swear by the vacuum at dusk trick. Thank you everyone. Hopefully my neighbors dont think I'm crazy. I've been in their backyards all day. And then shaking the contents of the vacuum into the wind. Lol i cant thank you all enough. A lady said she used my tips and found her kitty under a shed. Another lady made a scent trail with an old smelly tshirts to lure him from the ravine to the front door. This lady said I did the vacuum thing and shook the treats. 3 mins later I heard meowing. Sprinkle catnip Here are some good tips people gave me when they found their lost cats: I know this is a lot to read but please read it it around the yard. PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP. I pray you will find your kitty. You might need a live trap

Check the area around your neighborhood but don't call your cats name until you are walking back home otherwise your cat will follow your voice away from home and probably get further lost.

It's actually best if you ask your neighbours if they mind if you check their sheds because your kitty is very scared and will be well hidden. Nobody will check as well as an owner. People take a look and don't see the cat and say it's not there when it could in fact be in there. Also check behind anything that could be leaning up against a house or shed. If kitty has claws then takea good look up trees in case it was chased up one. The needles on pine and spruce make it harder to see a cat so you have to take a really good look up those. You must stay calm because your kitty might run from you now too. Speak softly and don't make any quick moves to grab kitty. Preferably don't have kids help look as they tend to get too excited and that will make kitty more frightened and it might bolt. Good luck!!

Go to You Tube and play cat and kitten sounds near sheds, decks, garages and any place that a cat would hide. Ask your neighbours for permission first. Go about 5 to 10 houses in either direction, across the street and neighbours behind. Play the video for about 20 seconds then stop it and listen for a response. Play it several more times and listen then move on to another neighbours house. Keep doing this and go back to places you have already checked as your kitty could be hiding in several places, moving from one to another in the early morning or at night. Make sure before you play the video that it doesn't have sounds of cats being aggressive. You could also put a little sardines in spring water outside your door and watch for your cat. Don't leave them out overnight or you could draw predators. If kitty shows up then please stay calm and don't rush to grab kitty. It will be frightened and will probably run from you. You might end up needing to use a live trap which must be monitored at all times. If wildlife goes in you must release it and reset the trap. Only put a small amount of food at the back of the trap. No food anywhere else if you have a trap set. Cats won't go into a trap if there is other food around. Don't give up on finding your kitty. Good luck!https://youtu.be/mGc0Z7E0U1I
