Most cats run and hide. They don't go far, unless they have been picked up. I would assume your cat is nearby and use a food that would bring her closer. We use cooked chicken and set it out at sundown..and sometimes early morning. Also leave a door open a few inches in the back or side .. of the house. Put the chicken and cat nip right inside. Close door of course when you not home. Prayers for your baby's return home soon.

I copy and paste my tips so I realize some of this might not apply. If you have a garage crack it enough so he can get in and out. Put out some food and water so he doesn’t go searching for it. Heated bowls if it’s getting cold. You can try shaking a bag of food or snapping a tab on a can, if he’s hungry enough he may come running. If you’re searching at night make sure you have a good flashlight. The light will make his eyes glow. Keep in mind cats like to stay in the shadows so they will walk close to or hug against buildings, homes, garages, bush lines etc to avoid being seen. If he’s never been out before he won’t go far. You can try putting out cat nip and a bell toy. If he finds it you may just hear the bell. Make sure to let your neighbors know and pass out flyers with all the information they need to get in touch with you including his picture. He’ll know your voice compared to others so keep that in mind as well. You should also get a trap and see if you can catch him that way. Some of the rescue shelters will loan them out. If you’re worried about the cold, you can build a cat shelter out of a tote or foam cooler. Just make sure you fill the shelter with straw not hay. Hay holds moisture. Also, ask your neighbors to check their garages and sheds to make sure he didn’t get stuck in there by mistake. I hope this helps and he comes home soon. cats are most active at dawn and dusk. 9pm or so and around 5:30am. Also, someone in another post recommended a cat chum line. You can look it up on google. As there is more to it, But here’s a bit of it. "Cat chum line" likely refers to a method used to attract cats, particularly lost or stray cats, using a scent trail or line of chum. This involves creating a path of strong-smelling substances like tuna, sardines, or even cat litter, leading back to a trap or a familiar area. The goal is to guide the cat back to safety or a place where it can be captured and returned home.
