My two indoor cats managed to escape to the outdoor crawlspace underneath my apartment. Help.

At around noon today all three of my cats jumped out a window that had been opened to air out some burnt french toast smell, only there wasn't a screen on one of them. We caught one with treats almost immediately and have been trying to recapture the other two. One is incredibly skittish and the other is completely indifferent and refuses to even acknowledge we're there.

We've tried canned food, their favorite toys, laser pointers, catnip, all to no avail. We live in Little Rock, AR and have contacted Furr after being referred by the humane society. I've left a voicemail and sent an email and am hoping to hear back soon. We're expecting a baby soon and are super tight on money till Friday so buying two traps for the furry ingrates is going to be the last resort.

My husband crawled underneath with a protective mask but was unable to get passed the front room because of the plumbing that blocks off the rest of the apartment. Thankfully there is only one way in and out so we're going to leave only water out tonight in hopes of luring them out with food tomorrow.

Husband is staying home and we'll regroup around 2 once I get home from taking my mom to dialysis. Insanely stressful day. Our cats are obviously incredibly important to us and any and all advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
