Please help me find my cat in Oakley

Searching Lost Asheville May 13, 2026
I am devastated to be writing this post, but I would feel guilty if I didn't try everything reasonably within my power to find my beloved cat Zora. So I'm humbly asking the Reddit gods (all the gods and goddesses, really) and good people of Asheville for help <3 Zora is 3 years old, weighs 8lbs, and is a fluffy black & white tuxedo cat. Her back legs are black with white socks (feet). She was wearing a purple collar with a star-shaped bell and is microchipped. She is sweet, but skittish/timid around loud noises and new people. She went outside early morning on Wed 4/1 (around 4am) and has not come back home since. She and her brother are both indoor cats who get some outdoor time, so she knows our street/neighbors (the cul-de-sac at the end of Melody Lane) and sometimes goes into the woods behind the homes around here. I've never known her to go very far or to not check in (by meowing/scratching the front door) within a couple hours, so I'm trying to keep my spirits up and not feel defeated. I've put up flyers all around the neighborhood, most folks on my street know, I've called her name up and down the street, but haven't heard back. I also feel naive for not knowing about coyotes until my neighbor informed me when I told her Zora was missing. So please, no chiding or chastising. I know now and trust me, my brain has played out every worse case scenario multiple times. If you live in the mapped area / close by and can keep an eye out / check your home for any crawl spaces where a cat might've gotten into, my family and I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
