I really don’t think you should lose hope! We went through the exact same thing for the first time this weekend; our 9-month-old cat went missing. She usually spends her days wandering over the roofs and in the courtyards near us (which aren't very high up), but she didn't come home that evening.
We put up posters, reported her missing on the microchip database, and posted on Facebook, but we didn’t find her until two days later—she was locked in the neighbours' bin store! She was terrified and hadn't made a peep for two days, even though we were walking around the neighbourhood calling for her every 3 or 4 hours. She’d been spooked and only started meowing when she couldn't hold out any longer, and that’s how we found her!
So please don't give up, try calling for them in the evening when it’s quieter, always at the same time, and above all, talk to your neighbours! Someone is bound to have seen them.
Wishing you all the best and lots of strength.
I really think you shouldn't lose hope! We went through the exact same thing for the first time this past weekend. Our 9-month-old cat went missing; she usually spends her days roaming the rooftops and courtyards near our place, which aren't very high, but she didn't come home in the evening.
We put up posters and reported her on the microchip database and Facebook, but we only found her two days later, trapped in the neighbours' bin store! She was terrified and hadn't made a peep for two days, even though we were calling for her every 3-4 hours while walking round the neighbourhood. She’d been spooked and only started meowing when she couldn’t hold out any longer, and that’s how we found her!
So don't give up hope, try calling for them in the evening when it’s quieter, always at the same time, and most importantly, talk to your neighbours! Someone is bound to have seen them.
Best of luck to you
I really don't think you should give up hope! We went through the exact same thing for the first time last weekend; our 9-month-old girl went missing. She usually spends her days wandering across the roofs and courtyards near our place, which aren't very high, but she didn't come home that evening.
We put up posters, reported her as missing on the microchip database and Facebook, but we didn't find her until two days later—she was locked in the neighbours' bin store! She was terrified and hadn't made a sound for two days, even though we were out calling for her every three or four hours while walking round the neighbourhood. She’d been spooked and only finally miaowed when she couldn't hold out any longer, and that’s how we found her!
So please don't lose heart. Try calling for them in the evening when it’s quieter, always at the same time, and above all, talk to your neighbours! Someone is bound to have spotted them.
Wishing you the best of luck, hang in there!

It all depends on the injury...
Is she used to being away for a few days?
That's done, I'm going to put more posters on the bins and I've put flyers through the letterboxes.
If she's injured, is she still likely to come out of her hiding place?
I've reported her missing on the microchip database, and I've informed the vets, the police, the RSPCA, and the local rescue centre.
