Please follow my advice.
No litter box outside, no food outside.
It will attract other animals including other cats who will keep your cat away if trying to return home.
⬇️
Have you distributed flyers to your neighbors and posted them as well even to any businesses close by?
If you get a sighting you need to set and MONITOR a humane trap at the sighting location right away and at morning dusk.
*NEVER LEAVE A TRAP UNATTENDED.
Cats usually stay within a one mile radius from home, maximum two miles.
They are usually found (after getting sightings and with trapping) very close to their own home.
Concentrate on canvassing your own neighborhood, however, in case the sighting was not of your cat.
Cats don’t usually go far.
They usually will try to return home between 10 PM and 5 AM with peak hours being 3-5 AM.
Put a worn shirt of yours outside and continue to replace with a fresh one daily.
Do NOT put a litter box outside.
It will attract male unneutered cats who will spray property and chase your cat away if trying to return home.
Some cats stay hidden for 3 weeks traveling at night. Flyers generate sightings.
