I’m so sorry. My cat was missing for 18 months and it was terrible. I did find her and want to share what worked. Don't give up! It's important that you do a few things. 1. Cats rarely travel far so make sure you check every shed, basement, etc that he could have gotten trapped in or might be hiding in. Check even if you’ve previously checked because sometimes cats wander off, get injured and then return and hide. 2. Make flyers (Pawboost has a free flyer and will post online as well as offer hints for finding him) with his picture and hand them to your neighbors. Ask them to check their basements, sheds, etc. People are much more invested in the search if they've talked to you personally rather than just seeing a flyer or a post on social media Scour the neighborhood and keep a list of all the homes that have received a flyer and talked to you. 3. Since not everyone is on social media, post the flyer at local businesses, grocery stores, libraries and vet offices - every place you can think of. 4. Make sure ALL vets, rescues and emergency clinics ( there are more than you think!) have the flyer and your contact information. If he gets injured, someone may take him directly to a vet for care. 5. Give the flyer to shelters and rescues so they can be on the lookout if someone brings him in as a stray. I would check IN PERSON every few days as the shelters are overwhelmed and may not get back to you. Or honestly notice it’s your cat. Make sure you check the feral/barn cat admissions too. Many scared cats are miscatergorized as feral. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how important it is to go in person and to go often. 6. Ask neighbors if anyone has security cameras and see if you can review the footage. Ask to set humane traps once you’ve narrowed his location. Mackerel and KFC seem to work best as bait. Make sure you monitor the traps closely so no animals die of heat/cold or are attacked by predators while in the trap. 7. If he is microchipped, contact the company to alert them that he is missing and to make sure your contact information is up-to-date. 8. Post in all the lost pet groups and any community groups for your area on social media. Again, there are more than you think! Post regularly until you find him. 9. Make sure you replace the flyers regularly, post relentlessly on social media and keep checking with rescues, vets and neighbors. Keep posting! Don’t give up! There are millions of cats in shelters who never get reunited with their families because people give up too soon. I hope you find him soon!

My sons cat got out in October one year and we searched and searched. I put posters with his ohoti and a $50 reward in every stewarts within 2 miles...I posted on FB. It was horrible. It got to be February and then I got a call. A woman was feeding him and happened to see one if my posters in stewarts. She had been feeding him and was letting him come onto a sheltered porch that she left open. I went right over. He had turned "feral" and wouldn't come to us. We had to use a trap abd get him. We got him home and loved on him once again. Imagine! I had prayed someone would take care if him until we found him! From October to February. ..dont lose heart
