Put out his litter box. They can smell them for miles.

I'm so sorry about your baby.🥺💔 Don't give up hope. It takes time and perseverance to locate a lost cat. Most cats stay close to home or near to where they were lost so it is critical to be as proactive as possible. Crack your garage door or leave a porch door open so it can get inside. Cats return at night when you're sleeping so you miss them. This also ensures if your cat was chased away, it can sneak back inside when it can. Check everywhere outside even in drain pipes and drains, in logs, under bushes and cars and up in trees. Use a flashlight after dark as it will make your cat's eyes glow. Check under your house and your neighbor's houses, in sheds, garages, bats, etc. (If an indoor-only cat, just know they typically do not recognize their owners outside because it is a different environment and they are scared. If indoor-only, sit outside every single day especially in the morning and at dusk/night so your cat can get used to you being there.) Put dry food in a plastic container with a lid and periodically shake it and call your cat's name. Work with a cat rescue to immediately set a cat trap or you can purchase one at Tractor Supply or order one or more on Amazon and set them yourself. You will need to monitor the trap(s). Print some flyers for neighbors and businesses in the area. Put posters in public areas, like on street signs and in your front yard, and offer some type of reward, if you can. Put the reward amount on the flyers and posters. A reward will incite people to intentionally be on the lookout for your cat or to return it to you. Also post on the Ring app, Nextdoor app and Pawboost and visit pet rescues/shelters in person regularly to see if someone has found your cat and has taken it to one. Give them a flyer and report your cat as missing. Please read this article for both indoor-only and outdoor-access lost cats: https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/

Ask your neighbor to check their sheds because my cat disappeared one time and it was locked in my neighbor’s shed. Luckily, we found her.

Shared and let all close neighbors know and postcon Next Door App for your area. Look on and under anything a cat could get in and look up in trees and check all outside buildings and ask neighbors to check theirs also. Watch later at night and early in the mornings when it is quiet because cats will come out them. Place the cats bed and some of your worn clothing outside where they will stay dry and the cat will smell them and return.
