They usually don’t venture far. It’s probably scared & hiding near by in bushes or an open garage. Most kitties will stay put in their safe hiding spot. ( if they’re not fixed they can wonder further, depends on circumstances)
Ask neighbors to check their sheds, decks, garages.
They usually venture out at night after 24-48hrs when they start getting hungry. The “witching” hour when they come out is 3am. If you see your pet, don’t try to grab it, it’s still on survival mode and will run. Just sit down maybe with some treats and let your pet come to you.
(Remember, never put the litterbox outside. Other cats will mark it & scare your cat away.
Just in case, also set some humane traps near by, hide them in the bushes where your pet might hide.
Good luck & don’t lose hope.

Helpful Hints: Post huge fluorescent colored paper signs all around! Post on Nextdoor.com, Pawboost and all Lost and Found Sites in other boroughs and suburbs. Check all vets offices, shelters and rescues throughout. Check Craigslist Lost and Found Pets. Rehoming/Selling Pets etc. sections ! Check all bushes, alley ways, especially in the morning and evening time. Walk around waving something scented of yours and also your pets so he/she will detect it while you call out their name. Tie your shirt or something scented of yours and your pets where your pet was last seen. Anchovies work well for cats. Search teams and scent dogs can provide help also. If you know of another dog owner their dog can be used to detect the scent of your lost pet. It's worked many times!
Hope this helps!Read More
I recommend https://www.facebook.com/share/1BGA7KKjR2/?mibextid=wwXIfr on Facebook to you. They track both pets and livestocks with chip and those that are not. They found and brought back my Ziko.Read More
First put out a big bowl of water. Then, did you try the kitty litter trick? Take some litter from their box and sprinkle outside leading to your door then call them constantly especially at dawn and dusk and when it's quiet. Kitty will follow its scent and your voice home. It's no doubt scared and hiding. You can also try a stinky can of sardines! Or if kitty is a cuddler, try putting an article of your clothing by your door.
Also check area garages, under car hoods, shelters, Nextdoor and Pawboost for found kitties in and near your zip. Don’t give up. And post flyers around your neighborhood.
Good luck! And please keep your kitty inside if you let it out!! Between coyotes, diseases, bad actors and cars, there are so many ways harm can come to them.
Finally, if your kitty isn’t fixed, please spay/neuter!Read More
