If possible leave your garage door cracked and put his/her bed or blanket and some of your unwashed clothes for scent by garage opening or on your porch. Cats have a great sense of smell. Put up flyers ASAP. No food or litter box for it will attract others or predators . Go out late when it quiets down with a flashlight looking in bushes and under vehicles anywhere he/she may be hiding. Look for reflection of his/ her eyes. Some have luck with shaking a bag of treats or an open can of tuna or sardines. Softly call his/ her name and listen for a faint meow. He's/she's scared so won't be loud. Definitely have neighbors check their garages and sheds. Most cats stay close for several days and usually come back around between 12 and 4 am. Check outside often. I hope you find him/her soon 💕.

Some tips: Go out late at night when it's quiet and call him. Shake a can of treats or bring stinky food. Also bring a flashlight and look for kitty eyes in bushes. He is probably hiding close by. Put up big, in-your-face fliers with a picture and consider making mini-fliers to place on neighbors' porches. Have neighbors check their garages and sheds. Check the Idaho Humane Society website daily! See if you can leave fliers with vet offices. Post on Nextdoor.com. Praying he returns home soon 🙏
