My cat got scared outside and is hiding. How can I find my cat?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

I took my cat outside with me to check the mail and a bunch of loud cars drove past and it scared him causing him to scratch me and try to run away so I quickly put it back in the house and it ran and hid somewhere . I remember it running into my room but I have a feeling it’s somewhere else . I heard it moan once but I can’t find it anywhere. I don’t know what to do

I'm sorry to hear your can't find your kitty! This would be stressing me out too! If you are able to hear her but and she sounds like she might be in some trouble, I would be looking in some really small places that she might have been able to get in but not necessarily get out of. I would be looking in any place that she might have been able to get behind a wall or into a ceiling. Otherwise, if you think she might just be hiding somewhere that she doesn't want you to find her, starting leaving out some stuff that she would normally come running for on any other normal day. Hope this helps!

My indoor cat is lost for 7 days. How can I find my scared cat?

Oh no, I'm so sorry Luna is missing. Have you checked with local vet clinics? Let them know you are missing her, and they can keep an eye on her in case someone brings her in. You can also check any local animal shelter. Keep searching, and check very small places. It's amazing how cats can squeeze themselves into very tiny places. Also check up trees. I lost an indoor cat once, and found her high up in a tree. I hope this helps and you find her.

My cat is scared and hiding after a fright. How can I help her?

I'm so sorry to hear about Kit Kat! She could be scared, hurt, or anxious. The best thing you can do is just pick her up and sooth her. She might like to perch up high on a shelf or cat tree (but make sure she can walk normally and doesn't seem to be injured). And then just try to let her rest and have quiet as much as possible tonight. If she's still the same in the morning, schedule an appointment with your vet for as soon as possible. It's very likely she'll be better by then. Best of luck to you and Kit Kat!

What to do when your indoor cat escapes and goes missing?

She is probably just wandering around. However there are dogs out there, cars and possibly wild animals that can harm her. keep calling her. Hopefully she will come home soon. She is probably hiding somewhere and scared.

My lost cat is nearby but scared. How do I get him to come home?

Oh no! I hope you get him soon! Continue to try to tempt him with food and leave him just a handful of kibble to eat close to his hiding space. You may also place his litter box outside so he can follow the scent home. Continue to try to call him to you and always be patient. Best of luck!

Training & Behavior

My cat hides, stressed after moving & getting lost. What can I do?

He is probably just really stressed. It is best if you leave him alone, don't force him to interact or you may traumatize him more. Be sure he has access to food, water and litter box that is close to him. Be sure the house is as quiet as possible. Get him some Feliway diffusers for the new house and a calming supplement called Zylkene. Both of those things should de-stress him. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=117324 https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=115875

What to do if my cat is stuck between the floors of my house?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kit-Cat. I am so sorry to hear about her situation. Is she trapped or just scared? Place food and water where she can reach it. Try a high value treat to lure her out. If she is actually stuck though, you may need to tear up more flooring to free her. Once you recover her, I recommend that she sees a veterinarian right away. She should be assessed for wounds and dehydration. I hope this information helps!

How can I get my scared indoor cat back inside after escaping?

You may try leaving tasty treats or very small amounts of food out on the steps/porch and lead them into the house (if you can leave the door open so he walks in. You can also sit quietly outside with something tasty to encourage him to come to you. Be patient and quiet. Most pets will get hungry enough that they will try to over come their fears. I hope this helps and good luck.
