General Information: Cats (if they are indoor cats) are usually close to home. Be sure to check all possible hiding places in your home. Hang clothes with your scent on it high up outside so that the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat home. Scent only - no food. Check with your neighbors to see if the cat is in their yard or accidentally stuck in their garage OR if they have a Ring camera (if applicable) to see if he/she was spotted on camera. Post fliers with your contact information on it around the area he/she is missing so if he/she is spotted the person can tell you his/her location (for those not on Social Media). Keep an access point open for him/her to slip back in your home. Look in bushes or hiding spots around your home as if this cat is unfamiliar with being outdoors he/she is most probably scared of all the new sounds and smells and he/she will make himself/herself safe by finding a hiding spot. Check trees as the cat could use the tree as a refuge. Sometimes the best time to find your cat is when the noise level is low - after hours - or early morning hours. Take a flashlight and look for the shining eyes. Finally there are scammers out there that claim to have your cat and you can get it back for a price - beware of them. Good luck.

Deana Briscoe can't really tell, green or yellow maybe, but has white tip on tail and looks to have more white on chest and side.

Just in case as I can’t match markings too ez from these pics At the Ventura settling ponds by the harbor. Very friendly, looks healthy, red collar, no tag. Came up to blank when he was birding, rubbed up against his leg, purring, quiet meow. Homeless encampment about 50 yds away. Could be their cat?
