Remember, scent items are very important. And go out and calmly talk and call her like you normally would. They sense distress in your voice and will not come or respond so be calm. Also look up in trees under porches/decks, look at night with a flashlight as their eyes glow in the light. If possible set up cameras. She wants to come back, she is just scared and needs guidance. Cats hunker down when they are afraid so try to help her find her way back. She will try to come back in the way she got out so keep a point of entry open if at all possible. Good luck 🤞🙏

Make a shelter for her with some clothes with your scent on them as well as some smelly food like sardines in it. If possible, keep the door that she got out if open slightly and if that doesn't work I used Kelly Brach from Professional Pet Trackers to help find my cat that was missing for 2 weeks. She has 3 highly trained dogs that track the cat's scent. Her dog pinpointed the location and we set traps and 3 days later caught the cat. This cat was a Foster and not familiar or bonded with us. He was caught in the bushes 3 houses away from us and that was exactly where the dog led us. I would not have believed it unless I saw it myself. So important to know about this service.

They usually don’t venture far. It’s probably scared & hiding near by in bushes or an open garage. Most kitties will stay put in their safe hiding spot. ( if they’re not fixed they can wonder further, depends on circumstances) Ask your neighbors to check their sheds, decks, garages. They usually venture out at night after 24-48hrs when they start getting hungry. The “witching” hour when they come out is 3am. You’ll have to put other pets away and open door or window around 2:30am. If you see your pet, don’t try to grab it, it’s still on survival mode and will run. Just sit down maybe with some treats and let your pet come to you. (Remember, never put the litterbox outside. Other cats will mark it & scare your cat away. 🐾) Just in case, also set some humane traps near by, hide them in the bushes where your pet might hide. Good luck & don’t lose hope. Pray to St Anthony, he hasn’t let me down. 🙏🏻🐾

The best person to get the cat back is you. Very important. You continue to feed your cat around same time every day. Food & water. Very important to keep calling your Cat day & night when it’s most quiet. Get a flashlight and at night check to see if you see glowing eyes …Also get a camera, so you can see what’s going on when you’re not there. Please don’t waste time help your kitty find their way home. Please follow these steps to help your kitty to come home 🏡… really keep calling kitty in dusk, & Dawn. Put things out the litter. Anything you have from your brush hair anything tie it to something by your door that kitty remembers. This will help Kitty smell and find his way home. I do TNR please If you follow these steps you are sure to get your kitty....Please get a trail camera or any kind of camera wifi camera’s are great, so u can see what is going on when u r not around. I got mine at Walmart or s sporting even Amazon for less than $30, put it by the trap, we’re you will put kitty food out. You could get A trap from A shelters near you, and try to place trap by Bush, a hedge camouflage with large leaves. With food in the back. sprinkle kitties Litter! cats can smell up to 500 to 1000 feet. sprinkle a little left right back in front of your house. took me one month to get my cat back. Stay on top of it every day. prayers.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Also check local Animal Control,rescues & shelters, Vets, Police Station, & ask your neighbors check every so many days if you can, it’s some work, but file a missing kitty report provide them with a picture, I would say try the whole radius of your block not just a couple of houses to see if anyone saw kitty. Sometimes it takes a few days or more for kitty to come out of hiding. 🐾🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😿

Did you try the kitty litter trick? Take litter from their box and sprinkle outside leading to your door then call them constantly especially at dawn and dusk and when it's quiet. Kitty will follow its scent and your voice home. It's no doubt scared and hiding. You may also try putting a stinky can of sardines at your door as well. Also check found kitties in and near your zip on both Pawboost and Nextdoor. Also check local shelters. Good luck!
