Humane trap and camera are key, plus leaving a door slightly ajar at night for reentry

To everyone whose cat recently escaped through an open window or door and need help recovering their beloved family member.... A year ago I installed a motion sensor camera in my patio for when my ferals come around and need food or shelter. I was surprised to find out how much activity was being captured during the night when people usually sleep. I have raccoons , possums , skunks , and yes , even cats that I've never seen before show up in the middle of the night. Most of us have no idea that all this activity is even taking place while we are asleep. There is a good chance that your lost cat may be coming out late at night looking to get back in the house, but nobody's there to see or hear them. My advices is to purchase an inexpensive motion sensor camera from Amazon or Walmart and set it up outside your house door. You can review all your motion captures every morning, and if your cat appears in any of the motion capture videos, you can put out some food or an article of clothing OR a trap and set your camera to send you notifications on your phone next time she shows up, and with a little bit of luck, be able to recover your beloved family member. Most lost cats are usually indoor cats and are probably very afraid and don't come out until late at night when it feels safe. Also, have your neighbors check any surveillance cameras they may have for any possible sightings of your cat. Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any related questions.Thank you. Hope this helps. PS - the owner of a lost kitty just recovered her cat after receiving a notification from her motion-cam at 3am this morning. ❤️ Another cat owner messaged me stating she has been reunited with her cat after two weeks through the use of a motion camera. Her cat was detected in the middle of the night when most people sleep.❤️

Do this ASAP Put out items with your scent on it, like an item of dirty clothing, towel, blankets. Put vacuum dust outside the door. Leave out a bowl of water. DO NOT put litter box out it will attract feral cats and predators. Go out at dawn and dusk and shake treats bag. Call as may times as possible, but night time is best Because its quite. Ask neighbors if you can check garages, sheds and under decks and their security camera recordings in the mid morning hours since cats are more likely to come out when it's quiet during the night. Put up 11x17 poster in neighborhood. Use a flashlight at night because you will see a reflection of their eyes, look up trees and post on your local town community page and next-door Neighborhood app.
