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.

Please check nearby storm drains and sewer pipes. Vehicle engines and tire wells. Attics, closets, and bats. Garages and sheds. Bushes and trees. Under buildings and trees. Search outside at dawn and dusk when it's quiet. Using a flashlight may help. Set outside your old clothes so Pepe may detect a familiar scent. Good luck.

If you haven't already you can check/post on PawBoost and Cincinnati Animal Care's website for lost and found pets. Also be sure to file a report with the Hamilton County Shelter Cincinnati Animal CARE. It's recommend to do so through their email lostfoundpets@cincycare.org with a current photo, information about date and location, and contact information or use Facebook messenger, NOT by calling them. Can also check/post Cincinnati Tri-State Area Lost and Found Pets. PawBoost is like an Amber Alert for pets and Cincinnati Animal Care is Hamilton County's animal warden. You can also check into Reeves Rescue and Recovery or a similar company who use drones to find pets. Also google pet lost and found groups to find more groups to check/post if you are able. I will share your post. Good luck!🍀♥️ Of course if you're not in Hamilton County you will need to do the same at your County's shelter.

You might try a live trap, they are fairly cheap on amazon, my Jane wanted to come back but was too overwhelmed and scared, she had made a home under a backyard shed across the street and wouldnt let anyone near her. I saw she kept coming around the doors at night and if i didnt have other pets, i would have left the door cracked and that may have solved it. Eventually she was found eating hamburger in the trap on my front porch and all was right again. It took about 3 weeks for her to show up and i did have to release squirrels and possums along the way which were easy. Tuna in oil also makes a lot of scent. Make sure there's water too. If its cold out, wrap the trap in a blanket and make sure to check it often, check it often no matter what the weather is. In fact, best to keep a camera on it. I believe in Jane's case, the live trap was her only chance. Best of luck and a swift resolve for you I hope
