Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite out .. Might wait in between to see if you hear them meow nearby .... For indoor cats if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out and will often come back in on their own .. If you didn't see them get out check deep dresser drawers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, under beds in box springs, behind the frig, the stove, behind or under the sofa, under or in the recliner the washer/dryer or inside if left open .. basement crawl space .. attic .. anywhere small or behind a cat can hide they will! If out cats will hide during the day and are more active late evening near dark to early morning , daybreak ... have a spot light to shine to see eyes in the dark .. they are usually close by and will often come back to the door .. or hide under bushes or decks to feel safe ! Also check crawl spaces under houses , garages, sheds of neighbors nearby ...No food out after dark it will attract area strays and wildlife to the area ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and colder weather they will get under car hoods for warmth and on tires also ...this can happen and they could be miles from home . Cats in a new home need at least 30 days to adjust to a new area and may and will travel to get back to their old home .. In some cases a set trap may be needed and monitored! A Trail cam or night vision goggles can help to monitor the areas outside! Post to Nextdoor Ask neighbors to check their Ring Doorbells... Beware of loose and roaming dogs in the area as they will chase and your cats! For automatic garage doors please place a 6x6 block or cinder block so that the door will not come all the way down and trap your pet as they can be injured! Check with area Shelters, Animal Control, and Vets offices also put flyers ... Am sure you have tried most all of these! Don't give up!!

Christy FrearThank you for your suggestions. He is on pawboost and ND. He actually went missing around the time of his sister Lightening (a mom to 3 babies we still have) who looks almost just like him and our sweet gray Mama cat Ginger (she had 4 babies we still have). I don't understand why they disappeared because I know Ginger and Lightening would not leave their babies and Jupey has been neutered for months now so he hasn't much reason to wander plus they were all 3 very attached to us. It's just saddening and worrisome.

Suggestions: Have you tried putting out a can of stinky cat food? I’ve heard putting out their litter box can help them find their scent. Catnip? Ask neighbors to check garages/sheds she could be in. Any nearby sewers? Local cat colonies? You can post on Nextdoor and PawBoost. com. A baby monitor and/or a ring cam may help. Check out NRV Drone Tracking(?). My friend found his lost cat stick up in a tree recently. Prayers and fliers worked for me. Good luck! 🙏🏻 EDIT: Another person has cautioned against leaving out food and/or dirty litter bc it could attract other animals, so do what you feel is best.
