It would be good to put a worn piece of clothing on your porch in addition to the piece I mentioned originally in your garage on the inside near the opening. It would also be good to post on neighbor's ring app which covers the three plus mile radius of your location and alerts people that have the app. It would be good to especially focus on a one to two block radius of your location, especially at Dawn dusk and feeding time shaking a bag of cat treats or cat food vigorously to help attract your cat's attention if it's nearby, and also bring a flashlight to help catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it's nearby. While you're in this one to two block radius Make sure you also check trees. Shrubbery In window wells under decks and porches Where cats are often found and ask your neighbors to check their shed in garage where cats are also often found. If your cat comes back I hope you can take some precautions so it doesn't get out again. When I go out of my front door I back up to watch my cats to ensure they don't want to escape and I do the same when I leave from my house to my garage and don't open the garage door until the house door is secured. When I return home, I don't open the house door until the garage door is all the way down since I hear many animals escaping this route, especially on garbage day. In addition, I only open my windows and my patio door only about 3 in smaller than my cats head When the weather is nice because I don't want any cat to escape since I hear pets doing so on a daily basis when the weather is nice. 😥 Hope to hear good news soon. Good luck!!

Flyers are very important. They are best put in a zip gallon bag that is upside down to protect from the elements. It was just recently that both the dog and a cat were reunited by flyers alone since the people that found the animals did not have social media. If you adopted from a rescue, they usually like to know ASAP that a former animal is missing. If your cat has a microchip, it's good to make sure your contact information is up to date so you can be contacted if your cat is found. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so time is of the essence. Make sure your cat is not hiding in the garage in a closet in a dresser, drawer or behind furniture which often happens. I've heard of a few cats returning home the past few years when the owner left their garage open about 5 inches with a worn piece of clothing on the inside of the garage near the opening to help attract the cat if it comes close back to home but not too wide. So you do not attract unwanted animals. It's good if you go check outside on your block around Dawn and dusk with a flashlight looking in shrubbery and under decks and porches to hopefully catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it is close by. Usually cats are scared when they first leave home and might not even respond to you. So the flashlight might come in handy to catch a glimpse of the eyes. It's also good to check your local animal control in person daily because things change very often and best in person. It's also good to check local rescues and shelters in your area daily. Hoping for a quick and safe return.....

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a basement window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck.
