Here are a few things you can try. Cats usually don’t go far. They just hide well. Cats are very active at dusk and dawn. So first of all you can go out and call for him. You can put his food/water, and lots of cat nip outside your house to help draw him back. Also, put your cat's bedding that has your cat's scent on it outside to attract your cat back to your home. Also putting your own unwashed clothes or bedding out . Cats run on scent and this is highly effective in luring your cat back home .PetMD backs this up, can help lure the cat back home, as it's a comfortable and familiar smell. Shake the treat/food container outside. Check garages, especially under porches and decks,dense bushes, etc. Get one of those strong flashlights they will catch a cat's reflective eyes two blocks away and save you tons of time!!! Do not leave the food out overnight as it will attract other animals that can scare the kitty away. Go to your neighbors and let them know your kitty got out and give them your contact info. Walk your neighborhood and talk to people as you can. Take a flyer TO your local vets office and shelter a face is better than a thousand words of description and check every couple of days in person if possible Sometimes it can take weeks or months to find your kitty. Also post with Pawboost and Sam the Parrot about your missing cat. Many times cats are found within a couple hundred feet of their homes. Post fliers around your neighborhood with your phone number that people can call day or night. And talk to your mail carrier. They see lots of animals. If they see a strange kitty around, they may recognize it as yours. Make sure you call local animal shelters, etc Best time to look is between 1-6AM Get a humane trap ASAP! This it's the best chance at retrieving your cat. Line it with newspaper. The ONLY food you leave out should be in that trap. Do not leave the trap set for long periods of time unattended, especially overnight. The most importantly do not give up hope! Open your garage door a little. Don’t put the litter box out. 🙏🏻

Jacklynn Marie do you have access to a have a heart trap? I’ve got quite a bit of experience with rescue/stray and have used the shed method many times. I had one that I knew would go to the shed, but likely try to get away so I used the trap in the shed.

Steph Barber thank you I never thought of leaving garage door open. Someone has been eating the small amount of food we leave out at night but with no camera we have no way of knowing if it's him.

He will be super close. If you have a garage or a shed on property, try to leave a door cracked open. He will be looking to hide and for a safe place.

Sorry to hear about your kitty being lost. Put some items outside with a familiar scent on them. Cats have a very powerful sense of smell, and a familiar scent can help guide them home. You can use their bed, their toys or some of your old clothes. Also, look up into all of the tall trees in your neighborhood. Cats can climb high into tall trees, but then get spooked about climbing back down on their own. Treetop Cat Rescue (440-390-2606) can bring cats down safely; they can be found on Facebook. Hope Thor comes home soon!
