The only way a lost cat can find its way home is with its nose. They have to use their sense of smell to get home again. Put anything outside that smells like their territory. Put the pajamas you slept in outside because you probably sweated in them. Put out their food your stinky socks your smelly sneakers anything you can think of that the cat will recognize by smell. Cats usually stay within a five house radius of their own home for up to a week or so sleeping in the bushes during the day and coming out at dusk and dawn. Those are good times to take a walk shaking the treat bag calling out but cats also tend to come out and walk around very late at night. Try to keep a door cracked if you can whether it's the garage or whatever or a window cracked so you can hear them if they call out for you. Put this on all of the neighborhood pages as well as lost and found pets sites. Knock on the neighbors doors and make sure they know you're looking for your cat. Good luck PS cats can smell up to one mile away from their own house. Absolutely no litterbox outside or food. It attracts predators is why. Never give up.

Cats enter sheds and garages and often get stuck in sheds and garages for days or longer when the people don’t return. Make and distribute fliers to all neighbors asking them on the flyer to please check their shed and garage. Offer a reward if possible. Cats can survive a long time on insects if locked in a shed/ garage. The cat will likely return to your home. Look for the cat after dusk. That’s when the cat will be coming out of hiding after sleeping all day. (Our cat climbed on the roof and fell down the chimney.) Please avoid putting a collar on a cat. If you insist on a collar make absolutely sure it’s a breakaway collar. Predators grasp the collar. Cats climb and jump. The collar snags on things and the cat gets injured or dies. -Sometimes even a breakaway collar fails to release.

Look for him at night when it's quiet and bring a bag of treats with you and shake the bag and call his name. Look in the bushes and under cars. He can be hiding in plain sight.

Post on NextDoor and neighbors.ring, hang bilingual flyers, and put out articles of unwashed clothing and the pet’s bed. Ask neighbors to check their Ring cameras, garages, and sheds. Check shelters in person. If not already done, have your pet microchipped as soon as you’re reunited. If already chipped, call the microchip company to report pet lost and make sure your contact information is correct. Report lost on 24petconnect. Keep kitty inside when you’re reunited. If someone posts “We found” and asks for your phone number, don’t respond; it’s a scam. Same if they want to send you a code. Beware of sites people recommend that find lost pets; many are scammers
