Lost indoor cats are typically recovered within a 5 house radius. They will hunker down in a hiding spot usually next to a building and not move until they are found or get hungry. They will not come when called or vocalize--you have to find them. Look at dusk and dawn with a flashlight so his eyes reflect. Ask your neighbors to check their backyards, sheds and garages. Post on Craigslist, Nextdoor and Facebook lost and found sites. Take fliers door to door, pin to community mailboxes and on street corners. File lost reports with PACC and HSSA. Check PACC and HSSA every three days. Do not put a litter box outside. It will attract other cats and predators to the area. Put your used pillow case or pajamas outside for scent. At a week missing, get a humane trap from a local shelter such as Hermitage 571-7839 or purchase thru Amazon or a feed store and load with tuna. The biggest mistake cat owners make is to quit physically looking too soon, assuming that the cat has been taken by predators. Cats take much longer to recover than dogs because of their hiding behavior. https://missionreunite.org/search-techniques
