I agree with most of Jessica Klemm's advise except...leaving your door open with stinky food. This could backfire and attract feral or other lost cats which could potentially scare your cat away. Plus leaving the door open could allow other critters inside. Maybe even raccoons!

I'm so sorry your furbaby has gone missing. Cats don't go far like dogs do. Indoor cats will stay within a 4 house radius. Knock on your neighbor's doors ASAP and ask if you can check their backyards and leave them with a flyer and your number. Mine went missing in December so I've learned a lot about where to post, maybe you've already done all this, but here are some immediate tips you need to take: 1) Put up flyers and go door to door in your neighborhood. Indoor cats aren't usually farther than 4 houses in any direction. Outdoor kitties will go as far as a mile or more. 2) Wait until it's dark and quiet and bring a VERY bright flashlight to shine under cars and bushes. If there's a bag or box of treats he's used to hearing being shaken, take the box with you and shake it while you search. 3) Leave your door open with stinky food (wet tuna) and a blanket or clothing that smells like you. 4) Post on Nextdoor 5) Report the kitty missing to your microchip company and to the county shelter and check their map. 6) Join the missing cat Facebook groups and look there. Found and lost cats are posted daily 7) Use this video, walking slowly and stopping every few yards to look behind/around you.https://youtu.be/KZLBNrRa0hQ?si=Y_8vgxQZGqrMvRjG 8) Make a post with Arizona – Lost Dogs, Cats & Pets – PawBoost Community and check all the cat groups: MISSING CATS IN ARIZONA (FOR LOST CATS ONLY) FOUND CATS IN ARIZONA (cats that have been found and cat sightings) Lost Cats of Arizona Straydar for Arizona, USA Best of luck ❤️
