Check with NH Animal Control. Go to their location and take a picture of Gandolf! Put posters up all around your neighborhood. Engage with neighbors to help locate him. Put out smelly fishy kitty food, place litter box as well as bedding outside. Check storage areas, low lying bushes, ditches, drain pipes, under cars etc I would contact List Dog Recovery in Wilmington. They will be able to give you additional tips to find him. Use your cameras to watch for him at night! Praying for his return

Victoria Groh hi there, thanks for these suggestions. We are currently doing all of them. Coyotes are what I fear most because we do have them in the woods nearby. 😢I’m just hoping he’s still out there somewhere and just hiding but we haven’t had any sightings in all of our searches. We are doing just what you’ve said here plus canvased all the surrounding neighborhoods. Just praying we find him.

So sorry for him.😢. You have a good chance of finding him if you start searching right away and calling him. Take his food with you and shake it, since he knows that sound. Cats are very cautious when outdoors and usually hide. You have to go looking and calling him. When it’s dark is a good time as they are less afraid to come out. They don’t always know which way is home. Since he is partially declawed, he will have a hard time escaping up a tree. The worst danger here are the sly coyotes, of course. We lost one cat to them. Coyotes are most actively hunting outdoors at dusk and dawn. But we always hope for the best. Also, put his used litter box outside, they can smell it from afar, and put outside pieces of clothing that you have worn, but not washed. Be persistent, and go out every day and call him and walk around your neighborhood. Hope he is well and turns up soon.💕💕🙏🙏 🐈🐈‍⬛🩷
