I copy & paste my tips, so some may not apply. Most of the time, they will not stray too far from home. I went out at dusk, during the night, and at dawn (when they are most active) and called my cat's name softly and spoke to them. That helped - Munch was hiding under my next door neighbor's back deck. Munch is a talker in the house; I was finally able to get him to talk to me again. Look at your surrounding neighbors' yards - are there any spots/openings that would provide protection from the weather? We put out kibble, water, his litter box, and an article clothing from each of us with our scent on it next to the kibble, sprinkled with some catnip. There are different traps. We were about to use a drop trap when I caught Munch by hand. If you have cameras outside, use them for surveillance. That's how we found out where and approximately what times Munch was most active. My husband and best friend went door to door with the flyers and spoke with our neighbors (I was working the social media). I also called all the local vets to inquire if a kitty like Munch was brought in and emailed them Munch's flyer so they were on the alert of him missing. Same with local rescues. One recommended putting out more than one trap. When it goes below freezing, their paw pads can freeze to the metal cage. If you can afford it, I highly recommend using the PawBoost Alerts. We paid for the Facebook post, Instagram ad, and the comparing our kitty to the found animals they come across. I received a few calls - and a lot of shares online. Got one scammer - so be careful. I know some of these tips are repetitive, but I wanted to share because I feel these tips were instrumental in helping to bring Munch home. Sending pawsitive vibes and hugs. We know the nightmare you are going through. We are praying you find your kitty ASAP. ❤️🐾❤️

I copy and paste my tips so I realize some of this might not apply. If you have a garage crack it enough so he can get in and out. Put out some food and water so he doesn’t go searching for it. Heated bowls if it’s getting cold. You can try shaking a bag of food or snapping a tab on a can, if he’s hungry enough he may come running. If you’re searching at night make sure you have a good flashlight. The light will make his eyes glow. Keep in mind cats like to stay in the shadows so they will walk close to or hug against buildings, homes, garages, bush lines etc to avoid being seen. If he’s never been out before he won’t go far. You can try putting out cat nip and a bell toy. If he finds it you may just hear the bell. Make sure to let your neighbors know and pass out flyers with all the information they need to get in touch with you including his picture. He’ll know your voice compared to others so keep that in mind as well. You should also get a trap and see if you can catch him that way. Some of the rescue shelters will loan them out. If you’re worried about the cold, you can build a cat shelter out of a tote or foam cooler. Just make sure you fill the shelter with straw not hay. Hay holds moisture. Also, ask your neighbors to check their garages and sheds to make sure he didn’t get stuck in there by mistake. I hope this helps and he comes home soon. cats are most active at dawn and dusk. 9pm or so and around 5:30am. Also, someone in another post recommended a cat chum line. You can look it up on google. As there is more to it, But here’s a bit of it. "Cat chum line" likely refers to a method used to attract cats, particularly lost or stray cats, using a scent trail or line of chum. This involves creating a path of strong-smelling substances like tuna, sardines, or even cat litter, leading back to a trap or a familiar area. The goal is to guide the cat back to safety or a place where it can be captured and returned home.

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. 🙏🏻Also take a flashlight out at night and look in and under things to see if you can see the kitty’s eyes.

Ask your neighbors to look in their sheds and garages. Sometimes they go in to explore and get locked in.
