My daughter's cat managed to get into the walls of my house from an unfinished part of the basement. I think it's a fairly confined area that he is in, but it seems like he's afraid to make the leap back down the passage he came up in.
Any suggestions for getting him out (and saying "shoot him" doesn't cut it).

First try something delicious that he loves to eat. Place it at the whole he got into and if he is desperate enough, he'll come out to eat it. If that doesnt work, find a suitable spot on your wall, and cut a large sized hole. Good luck, and I hope your cat gets out!
If all else fails, call the fire dept, they used to help get cats outta trees yenno!

Can of tuna fish will make just about any cat do anything even if they think it will risk their life to get it. We had a space between the animal hospital I worked at and the apartment that was attached and there were more than a few cage escapes that made their way into the wall. Which besides being embarrassing is dangerous. A can of tuna seemed to do the trick - if not try to warm some in the microwave and it will help permeate the smell to where he is.

Try some tuna. Open the can by the hole she went into and either use a fan on low or blow above the can to get the smell of the tuna nice and in there. the cat should respond immediately to come out. Of course let her have it afterwards or she'll be mad. lol You can also call your local fire department and even if they can't help, they will know who to contact if the tuna doesn't work. Good luck and I hope kitty is okay!!

I would recommend contacting the Fire Department. It seems everytime I see a cat or dog rescue of this nature that's who is there at the scene taking care of the matter.
You definitely don't want it to go further into the wall, out of sight by trying to do this yourself.
Hope this helps

I have had this problem before and found that just leaving some food and being around the area the cat got in was enough. Eventually they do come out. Give them credit they got in so they know how to get out...just takes them awhile.

WOW. have you tried briving him with can food or his favorite treat? are you sure he's not stuck? gee, the only thing else i can say is if you know where in the Wall he is, you can cut a small hole and call him! maybe he'll come out!!

buy a can of his/her favorite wet cat food and stick it near the hole. when he gets hungry and smells it, he will come!
