Better ways to search?

I'm early in a search cause my lease is up end of August, and I'm looking to get some pretty specific features that the big sites don't really search for, what do people recommend for hunting for apartments that way? Been just kinda going 1 by 1 through the list of the places that pop on the filters that do exist and checking their websites for the specifics I'm after.

Looking for a combination of things, accepts cats, specific areas, specifically covered or individual garage space, AC/heat not just heat.

Once I can get better searching I can do all the other stuff, just trying to dig deeper than like zillow or apartments dot com do to make it easier.
