Here are some tips for finding kitty: Go out early morning with a flash light, cup of dry food and or treats, shake cup calling their name. Use flash light to look for eye refraction under cars, bushes and dark places to hide. Use food or treats to lure kitty out. Use a towel or jacket to wrap kitty up to bring home in so as not to get scratched or bitten in panic mode. Early morning is quiet, so listen for a faint meow. They normally will remain silent even if you are right next to them. Cats instict to survive. You may have to do this for awhile to find kitty. Check crawl spaces, garages, neighbors sheds, etc. They run in and hide there. Also try looking at feeding time. Hunger will lure them out. Took me over 30 days to get mine back. He was hiding under my neighbors house crawl space. Then it took me 6 more days to catch him with food. He has never left since then. Do not give up. They are great at hiding. They generally go about 2 blocks away unless chased farther away. Check with neighbors too. Extra eyes looking out will help. On the darker side, for closure, if it was a coyote, they consume it within 2 houses of where they catch it. They generally leave parts behind. Walk around looking for evidence of a . Ask gardeners or neighbors of they saw any remains too. Closure is part of this journey. Hopefully kitty is just spooked and around the property hiding. Good luck.

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
