...I have done all the above and more... maintenance is going into units to replace HVAC filters and I asked them to please see if he's in one of these units...I have asked neighbors that are keeping an eye out for him, lawn maintenance looked for him including in windows of units while out here, I have been calling him day and night as they say cats have superb hearing and trust me when I tell you, I have a loud voice, loud enough for the dead to hear...he knows my voice and has always come when I call him...he's one of many ferals I have TNR'd out here where they stuck me in the cracker box dump...not allowed to keep them inside, but I let them come in and out at their leisure...have 10 left that stay close to here as he did...I've s/n all but he and 5 others I can get near, the remaining ferals stay at least 10' from me... ...thank you, everyone for your concern, it's greatly appreciated... precious baby must be so frightened and confused... please pray he can escape his prison...

Please read till the end..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. Leave garage door and lanai partially open if possible. Your cat will try to get back inside ..most likely at night. Use a trap...The only way to find his way home.or to the trap is by smell. Use some of your used clothes, put them outside and around the trap. 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 the trap. 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! Use the litter to lead your cat to the trap. Also try to distribute flyers throughout that neighborhood...as many as you can ( 3 miles radius at least). Check shelters in person...don't just call. Put battery operated trail cameras or motion cameras (Amazon for $25) 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! I read once that you can put a chair outside and cover it up with a blanket and the cat can jump up and hide under the blanket and feels safe. They said you should put one of your shirts under the blanket and food and water next to the chair. It might be worth a try to put up a chair

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.
