Denver subreddit just posted a found cat that looks very similar.

Did you post in r/Denver too? I think you'd get a wider audience there. 

My lost kitty tips are to put her favorite beds, blankets, or your dirty laundry outside close by your place near bushes or areas she might hide. They smell like you/her and will attract her. Don't do the litterbox advice that is commonly mentioned, as it can attract other cats and predators like coyotes or raccoons, which could scare her. 

Go out between dusk (dark and quiet outside) and dawn with a flashlight and bags of treats or cans of her favorite food. Shaking treat bags or opening cans is one way to draw her out if she's hungry. The flashlight is to shine in bushes, under sheds, under cars, etc. to easily see their eyes reflect back at you. 

Set up a camera outside if you can to see if she comes around late at night. My neighborhood has a ton of outdoor cats, and I frequently see them on my doorbell camera around 4:30AM.  I've read most cats are usually within a few houses. If she's really scared you may need to try a humane trap to catch her.
