Your story sounds a lot like the story here in my townhouse complex. My little Missy disappeared on August 5th, no sign of her since. I have cared for her for seven years. I made a comfortable home for two feral cats on my deck some years back - Missy and Bud Boy.
There are owls that hunt at night. I was not aware they were coming so close. I saw a bird with a good size wing span flying across our complex, they could easily snatch a small cat from a clearing and leave very little evidence of a struggle. Mine is not the only one that has disappeared, three others in the complex that I've heard about.
My second feral was killed 17 months ago (hit by a van). To loose track of Missy now has been heartbreaking.
I would say one or more predators may be in the area, possible a hawk, eagle, owl, or fox, coyote, something. Even man could snatch them as they use cats for exercising fight dogs.
They may have decided to pack and move out, something may have interrupted their peace and security. I keep fresh water outside all of the time and I've posted her picture in conservative locations.
I hope she is safe and comfortable, maybe in a different home.
They say cats have nine lives, maybe another chapter has opened up somewhere for yours and for my Missy.
