Try going out late at night or really early mornings when it's quiet and there more likely to come out off hiding or hear you calling and shaking cat biscuits as you walk your neighbourhood also check out street drains and call down them a favourite hiding place and ask neighbours or do a letterbox drop and get them to check sheds and garages incase it's accidentally got locked in or hiding also makesure microchip is up-to-date with correct phone number and details and ask them to put a red flag against it as missing. You can also try a torch at night to see shiny eyes reflecting back at you if there hiding under low shrubs and buildings and vehicles or neighbouring properties. Contact local vets and pounds even 24hr vets incase it's been found and taken for a microchip scan.

Keep an eye on the pound and leave his details and a contact number with local vets,especially if not microchipped. If microchipped makesure it's not with Homesafe ID as they went into receivership and if scanned they can't always access details now unless you have changed to another company.

“Most 'lost' cats are hiding (or locked in / trapped, prevented from returning home), frightened (especially if chased or injured), possibly disoriented, within about 500 metres from where lost. (Less for indoor cats). Some cats fear making a noise, in case it attracts predators, so might not respond to your calls. They can squeeze into the tightest crevices (sometimes become wedged in), why very thorough searches are required. I am aware of 100's of situations where a cat was accidentally locked in / trapped somewhere (eg in a neighbours shed, garage, holiday home, roof, crawl-space under a home / industrial building). Most somehow survived (eg by eating insects), many others didn't. 😞 Please thoroughly search through sheds, garages, under houses / buildings, bats, decks, neighbours' bins, skips, under bushes, between tall walls and fences, in roof and wall cavities, on top of rooves, in trees, vacant homes / buildings (even neighbours on holidays), construction / storage areas, etc. Ask neighbours to check cctv cameras. Don't trust neighbours to search!!! (Or at least not as thoroughly as you. Some don't search at all). Best ask permission to search yourself, or go with neighbour. If neighbours are unco-operative, suggest you involve police to do a welfare check and to keep the peace. Alternatively, offer a reward (bribe) for unco-operative / uncaring neighbours. 😞 Call down drains (with strong smelling food). If you can lift the grate and enter the drain, even better. (One cat found 500 metres, another 3km away in drain!). And /or create a temporary, stable ramp (eg with rolled towels or a branch of wood) from inside to outside of the drain, with strong smelling food outside overnight. Dusk to 5am walks with strong smelling food (eg Whiskas sardines, salmon & meat flavours, or hot BBQ chicken), cat carrier and torch. When no cars: call calmly, stop, sit, listen, wait.”
