Angela Tileston, it's possible that someone is feeding your little guy but has no idea where he belongs. Please don't lose hope. Continue to let neighbors know he's missing using signs, flyers, and Nextdoor — Sullivan may have been seen or fed by someone who's not seen any of your alerts. When posting on Nextdoor, make sure the title sentence of your post includes a description and location; e.g., "Lost white cat @ Whistling Tr. on 9/10" rather than "Lost cat" to distinguish it from other posts, allowing members to search for it and know what to look for without having to click on the link in the digest. Also, comment frequently to keep it in the newsfeed. The same holds true for Facebook. I shared this video previously, but it may revive hope of finding Sullivan. Hang in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2eCoC63B9I

Diana Ellis it’s been over a week and not a single sighting reported. We’ve searched morning, noon, and night. It’s like he’s disappeared into thin air. We’re assuming he was taken at this point and never turned in anywhere. 😭

Walk around calling your cat as you always do. Look under bushes and in hiding places. Look at dawn and dusk with a flashlight to catch the glare of your cat's eyes. If possible leave your garage and lanai door partially open. Your cat will try to get back inside, especially during time when it is dark outside. The only way to find the way home again is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside. A friend of mine used her shirt and dragged it through the neighborhood. Her cat found the smell and followed it home. It is all about the smell. You can also cut a shirt of yours into small small pieces and leave a scent trail back to your house. I read a few days ago that a lady put out a trace with the old litter throughout the neighborhood. It worked. Her cat came home! Also try to distribute flyers throughout your neighborhood...as many as you can ( 3 miles radius at least). Check shelters in person...don't just call. Put battery operated trail cameras outside. Your cat might show up in the middle of the night. When you know the time you can wait for for your cat and slow blink to make contact. NEVER GIVE UP!

Angela Tileston, if Sullivan is comfortable and confident outdoors but failed to return home, it could be that he needs your help. Thoroughly search using a flashlight during the day and especially at dusk (when it's dark and quiet) to determine whether he’s ill or injured and hiding nearby, or stuck somewhere. Check every crack and crevice, look in outbuildings, containers, vehicles, under foundations, sheds and porches, into trees, etc. — call and listen carefully for Sullivan’s cries (he may alert you to his location). And it’s important to ask neighbors to do the same and make sure Sullivan didn’t hide and become trapped in a shed, garage, or vehicle, etc. Please see this list of step-by-step instructions developed to help others in this situation (click on the link to the PDF) and let me know if you have questions. https://www.dropbox.com/s/huk0d1p6euu74ug/OutdoorCat.pdf?dl=0&fbclid=IwAR2TiOBxtcgt8odNRjcoGicoHsGDWrw3K9N4ox0GATJh4qGdsFD6T6gaXFA In addition, this video explains the temperament and behavior of a lost cat — it may instill hope of finding Sullivan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2eCoC63B9I Good luck! Please keep us posted on your progress.
