Help Find Missing Ginger Cat in Auburn

Hey all, looking for help with a friends lost pet: (Auburn): Very small adult ginger cat, 12+ years old, with white paws, neck and belly areas. Weighing about 3-3.5kg est. She was the runt of her litter, very playful but skittish around strangers and noises. Will hide if you call her likely. May respond to Kathleen and if you make yourself small enough to be non threatening. She recently had surgery on her left side butt area, which should have fur that is not fully grown back to full length. We think she might be injured and hiding away, as she is always home in the mornings. Last seen at 6am. Has been missing all day (28.8.23). Desexed, not micro chipped, raised as a stray since she was a kitten. Last seen 6am inside the house, Sheffield Street, Auburn. Please call or text 0425888669 if you see her. She is dearly missed
