I’m so sorry to hear that your boy is missing. Bringing a laser pointer outside at dusk/after dark (only if it’s not raining/snowing) and shaking a bag of their favorite treats has helped me find my lost cats in the past. They would most often be right in my back yard hiding in shrubs/landscaping and would come out to investigate the red dot. Sometimes I’d just sit in a chair outside after dark and when it’s quiet & either sit in silence or softly call their name and they would come out anywhere from minutes to the entire night. It may even take several nights. Patience and persistence has helped me find them all (over the years).💙 The humane traps also work very well. If you were putting food outside for him, stop doing so 24 hours before putting the trap out. The best time in my opinion to put the trap out is as it’s getting dark out. Very important to line the bottom of the trap with newspaper (or they won’t enter the trap). Make sure to use a few clothespins to clip the newspaper down so it doesn’t blow up from wind or a breeze. Put no more than half a can of “people tuna” on a small paper plate to bait the trap. Don’t try to trap when it’s raining, very windy or during the day; I’ve had no success during those times. Place trap either near the door your cat escaped from or at the back of your house on a flat surface(very important…if trap is wobbly, cats won’t enter it). Also must be quiet outside. You could place it next to a sliding glass door on a deck or patio if you have one with all outside lights off. Just make sure not to create a lot of movement when looking out at the trap. I have the lights inside off and I place my finger between the vertical blinds to check the trap. If you trap the wrong cat or a raccoon, opossum or skunk, just cover the trap with a blanket, turn the trap entrance away from you, then open the door. Usually they will run right out & away from you. You may be successful trapping your cat in minutes or it may take a few nights or even longer. I had 2 exceptions. It took me 3 months to find my Gabby and it took 8 months 12 days to find my Missy. Both were found at the edge of my own yard near where the woods began. Please don’t give up!💙

Most lost cats come home/ are found between midnight-5 am so that’s a good time to look. Door to door with flyers in the area and flyers with nearby vets and shelters really helps. If sighted, It’s better not to chase, lost cats are even more skittish and spooked outside and will even run from their owners. If possible, it’s better to sit at ground level and talk in a normal voice, which will bring them closer to you. Even better, bring some food, smellier the better - tuna, shrimp, rotisserie chicken. If you can safely leave a door or window cracked open specially at night, the cat might walk back in. They can get locked by mistake in sheds garages and bats, ask neighbors to check and if they can leave doors open for a while. A frightened cat in hiding probably won’t come out when people are around.
