She's there - hiding very close to where she was displaced - even if she RAN - they return to the original place of displacement for days and weeks....you must keep going back wet food in water moat bowl with camera aimed by sunset ...call for her calmly...crinkle the treat bag ...sometimes they come forward though most of the time they just hide too scared. I am currently guiding another cat guardian whose cat got spooked in a park in Redwood City - her cat popo finally showed up on camera after putting out wet food with camera aimed - took 5 nights and now she is planning to humanely trap her cat by doing a stakeout and setting a trap. You must go back there and follow my guidance. Another case I'm working on the guardian activated a cellular camera so she can get photos on her phone from the beach where her cat was lost...that's another option to using a battery operated camera... no one will do this for you ...you can get her home - it will take a bit of time and dedication and I know you can do it. xoxoxox damia

—------ 💖🐱When Tommy cat was lost in a park - I had the guardian call for kitty early morning and after dark - he placed a battery operated camera aimed at wet food bowl (water moat bowl to prevent ants) and on night 5 of going there and calling for him and puting out fresh wet food - his cat was seen eating the food ON HIS CAMERA - the next night he set a trap and waited in his parked car where he could watch the trap door to make sure ONLY his cat came. He trapped his cat 5 hours later - covered the trap right away with a sheet to calm down his cat and put the trap and kity in the car… 💖🐱 LOST CAT BUSTER REMAINED WHERE HE WAS LOST (behind a vet clinic) FOR 4 WEEKS! 💖🐱Lost cat ‘Buster's’ carrier case broke outside a vet clinic and he ran across the freeway and back then darted off beyond the vet clinic toward houses up the block...I made flyers the the guardian and told her to follow my guidance but she didn't she flyered blocks away , even going door to door ...she never went out from 10pm-6am to call for him; relying on folks who weren't near the clinic. After 3 weeks she called me desperate and I told her to go that night at 10pm back to the vet clinic and call for Buster...she called me at 1030pm and screamed Buster meowed back!! he was hiding behind a fence of a closed construction shop just behind the vet clinic. He had remained in the exact location (behind the clinic) for 3 weeks! She had to gain his trust for the next week returning at the same time each night and finally he came out all the way and she was able to pick him up and put him I her care and get him home! We were going to trap him once she got him used to coming out for food (he was in survival mode and was acting skittish toward her but still meowed when she called) The moral of the story (and many similar) is cats that are indoor and get outside hunker down VERY NEAR (usually within 1-3 yards) and cats that find themselves in a new location (recent move or busted carrier outside a vet clinic) will also hunker down very near...so please read my long post and follow the guidance ...dont get discouraged or lose hope. You're sweet baby is near and needs your help...spread the word in person and flyering for neighbors to take a photo if they think they spot him...sometimes you have to trap your own cat who is in survival mode..sometimes you can just pick up your baby...also kitty could be stuck in garage next door or shed...you dont know so you must cover all possibilities and take action in many forms to make sure you are doing everything possible. Be determined, stay organized , consistent and do not give up! All cats are different some meow back some hide and show up on camera 💖🐱LULU LOST FOR 2 months on busy streets while guardian in hospital…he found her! Lost cat Lulu escaped the car after her guardian Hadi got into a car accident and was hospitalized - he was in the hospital for 2 MONTHS. After he got out he found me - I told him to flyer during the day - post flyers on both side of every lamppost within a 4 block radius to start - and go door to door to tape a flyer to every front door using painter's tape. I told him to return AT NIGHT and calmly call for him EXACTLY where he had gotten into the car accident then to walk around slowly calling for his cat and to leave food and water with a camera aimed - BUT he never even got to that! He called LULU at midnight and she came running down the street - a busy intersection - right into his arms - it was a miracle - 2 MONTHS and she was still THERE doing her best to survive. You must cover all possibilties because your cat will HIDE FROM EVERYONE no matter how friendly and confident he is at HOME - now everything is different being displaced in a new location. ** Last month a cat named Bobby got out of the car on the way to the cat sitters - the guardian went back every night for a week - he put out wet food and aimed a battery operated camera 1-2 feet away from teh wet food bowl - he placed it on someone's property he asked if it would be ok (though sometimes I just sneak it since it's temporary and it's just a littel camera aimed at a water moat bowl of wet food.... by night 8 HE SAW BOBBY on camera had eaten the food! So that night at sunset he SET a humane trap and parked his car so he could see the front of the trap....he watched the trap for 4 hours making sure no other cat or animal came near - one possom came and he had to go out and sush it away ...after 4 hours Bobby returned and went into the trap!! He covered the trap with a sheet and took him home - once home Bobby was his normal friendly confident self -!! But not outside in a new neighborhood he was scared adn hiding and the ONLY WAY he could find him was by luring him to wet food with a camera aimed ....YOU can find your sweet boy - do NOT rely on online - you must take action in person - I work full time and care for over 13 cats and feed homeless cats before and after work and help people find lost cats and still flyer for elderly folsk who lose their cat - if I have time you can flyer 1 HOUR A DAY then place the food by sunset (remember to place bowl on a plate or larger bowl and fill the outer bowl with water to prevent ants) then return late night to camly call for him where he got out of the car - bring a flashlight to catch the GLOW of his eyes as you shine it under parked cars and under bushes and around teh perimeter of buildings there… Sending you love light and sustained determination.💖🐱 Damia AKA HappyCatLady.com 💖🐱

💖🐱I've reunited over 100 lost cats and many were cats that escaped or ran from cars or got lost IN A PARK or BEACH ..the key is to go BACK there AT NIGHT to call for kitty calmly where kitty was last/ where kitty FIRST GOT OUT - EVEN when the run off initially - at night they tend to return to exactly where they were displaced - Shine a flashlight under parked cars where they are often hiding under at night… 💖🐱Even Indoor/outdoor Cats that get lost in a NEW TERRITORY will act exactly like an INDOOR-ONLY cat that gets outside - they will find the 1st place to hide and HUNKER DOWN in SILENCE - They will remain VERY NEAR. Cats that are scared and in foreign environment will often NOT meow/ respond to calls even from their human (at first) ...though Kitty still needs to HEAR your CALM voice and keep hearing you (until kitty THINKS it’s safe to come forward) so do not stop calling out for kitty i your normal calm voice... Kitty is in survival mode and meowing would give away the hiding spot to predators. 💖🐱The best thing to do is hang out where kitty escaped from sunset until as late as you possibly can. Or return between 12am -3am when cats are most active. Bring the stinkiest wet food you can to place in bowl/dish...walk very slowly and call kitty’s name...BUT...THIS IS IMPORTANT...you need to STAY IN ONE SPOT and STILL for at least 20 minutes per spot -- kitty will hear your voice and want to come to you BUT kitty needs to know it is safe....wear warm clothes…. 💖🐱If you cannot get WIFI from a neighbor to aim a $29 mini blink camera or you are in a remote location (BEACH or PARK) THEN you must use a battery operated camera. Aim the WILD LIFE battery operated CAMERA at wet food bowl you leave by escape point - Here is an inexpensive one that works well: https://a.co/d/03Hk3oF3 so you can check footage in the AM and see WHO ate the food. Once you see your cat spotted on camera eating the food but still hiding from your calls THEN the next step is trapping your cat using a humane trap. RENT from your local animal shelter or borrow from a cat rescue. You can’t believe how guardians are shocked to find their cat on camera after days and weeks and months of kitty missing - camera aimed at wet food is KEY. replace the food every am and sunset be consistent. Other cats and animals may eat the food - they watch each other, leave more food. .. Be patient...Don't give up! Kitty is out there. It can take several days before the hunger threshold is hit and kitty comes out of hiding at night to look for food. 💖🐱Prevent ants from swarming the wet food - place the bowl inside a larger bowl and fill the outer bowl with water so ants and bugs can’t cross over into the wet food - ONLY Put out wet food (if pate add water and mix so it’s slushy) WET FOOD ONLY - do NOT put out DRY FOOD or you will attract raccoons 💖🐱BATTERY operated camera NO WIFI needed: Wildlife/Trail camera Check footage manually https://a.co/d/0aGX0O4K 💖🐱TRAPPING/ LURING YOUR CAT: yes in a new location you sometimes have to humanely trap your own cat because they may be too scared to come forward to you when they are in survival mode: ONCE YOUR SEE your cat on camera eating the food you set out the night before THEN the next step is trapping…I can loan you a humane trap…order the camera right now…you must aim camera at wet food 💖🐱TRAPPING: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SwaCTR1QrhlWg6mhq8roXmJHb6nauLCHB6v38UYCPRM/edit?usp=sharing 💖🐱💖🐱DO NOT LEAVE THE FOOD IN THE CAN 💖🐱💖🐱 - it will slice a cat’s tongue!! PLACE in bowl and then place the bowl inside a larger bowl and fill the outer bowl with water to prevent ANTS from swarming the wet food Once you see kitty on camera eating the food you are putting out at sunset each night then you can plan to trap her the next night: BEFORE TRAPPING: MUST-WATCH HOW-TO VIDEO Trapper Tips and Tricks!

You need to go back to the camping site and follow these tips Tips for FINDING a lost cat. Cats that are not used to being outside, OR get spooked by someone or something outside, will find the 1st place to hide and HUNKER DOWN in SILENCE. They tend to remain VERY NEAR. Cats that are scared and in foreign environment will often NOT meow/ respond to calls even from their human (at first) ...though Kitty still needs to HEAR you and keep hearing you (until kitty THINKS it’s safe to come forward: that can take several days) - so do NOT stop calling out... Kitty is in survival mode and meowing would give away the hiding spot to predators. Outside is strange for indoor cat..with wind & loud noises. Be patient...Don't give up! Kitty is out there. CALL for kitty consistently throughout the day and ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT from 10:30 PM until 6AM (when it’s quiet, dark and cats feel ‘safer’ to move out of hiding). VERY important as this is how most people find their lost cats. Call for kitty in your NORMAL, CALM voice and wait. Shake treats (if that is something kitty normally responds to). I can’t tell you how many kitties come out of hiding during these late hours…(or you can hear meows then if they are trapped in your next door neighbors garage, shed or backyard for example). Put pieces of your worn clothing outside, post on Nextdoor
