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

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 2 years and 9 months old | 11 lbs

my indoor only cat has been lost for 7 days i’ve put flyers up, put her litter box and food out and searched everywhere she doesn’t have much experience outside so i’m scared that she might starve plus she’s VERY scared of other cats i live in a university (not college just a place with houses) so there aren’t any coyotes or animal shelters she’s a spayed female cat and she’s microchipped i’m so scared i hope you can help!!

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.
