Be sure flyers are posted and keep checking with vets and shelters. Someone may have taken him in not knowing he has a home.

Time is of the essence. It is coyote mating season now thru the end of March and they are out now, day and night more than usual. Cats don’t go far from home. Keep the door or window the kitty left from open 24/7 so they can return, usually very late at night. If unable to do that then crack your garage door open enough for her to get in, 24/7. Knock on neighbors doors with a picture letting them know she got out and ask them to keep an eye out, check Ring cameras for any sighting, post as many flyers as possible with kitty’s picture in your and surrounding neighborhoods. Walk late at night when it’s quiet with a flashlight, looking under every shrub for their shining eyes, softly call the kitty’s name and shake their food. Post on Ring, Nextdoor and check with shelters. Don’t give up. 💕

I just copied and pasted this post from one of the online listings and I thought it was helpful: Cat rescue tips for finding your lost indoor cat! Cat rescue tips for indoor cats that have escaped . If your cat has escaped and not familiar with the outside world, he/she is 99% of the time hiding right outside in your backyard or neighbors yard. When they get out, they get nervous and make a B line for the quickest place to find shelter/cover. Put outside his/her bedding, or your worn clothing for the scent so your cat can smell its way back to the house. You can even sprinkle vacuum dust. It will have his or her hair /scent in it. Also, it’s very important to get in those bushes, woods etc around your house and search for him/her. Cats are great at staying stealth quiet and staying in place for days out of fear , everything and everyone is a danger right now, including you. During the day, put out its favorite stinky food, or tuna/sardines etc and water so your cat doesn’t stray for food. ( Only do this if you are actively watching or using a trap. If you leave food out all day/night unattended, you might attract raccoons, opossums, or stray cats that will bully your cat and drive them away from your yard.) What works best, is at night, take a strong flashlight and look for your cat in the bushes with the flashlight. If he/she is there, you will see his/her eyes with the reflection of the light. And don’t forget to look up in the trees. It could have been chased by a coyote or bobcat and it ran up the tree. I’ve heard this happen a few times. Their cats were hiding in the trees! And, if all of that doesn’t work you can set a trap ( have a heart trap you can buy at Home Depot or ask your local animal control to borrow one) and put a blanket or some of your worn clothing in it with food!! ( Check it often !!!) I asked chat gbt more in this : YES to the Scent: Using worn clothing (like a sweaty T-shirt or pillowcase) is a great way to make a scary metal cage feel like "home." • WATCH OUT for the Placement: Never put the clothing under the trip plate (the pedal the cat steps on). If the fabric bunches up under that plate, the trap won't trigger when the cat steps on it. They'll eat the food and walk right back out. ( D the blanket over the trap, not just inside. Leaving the metal wire exposed can be scary. If you cover the top and sides of the trap with a familiar-smelling blanket (leaving only the entrance open), it looks like a safe, dark "den" or "tunnel" rather than a cage.) You can also get a wildlife tracker camera from Amazon or any sporting goods store. The camera will show any movement at night and if your cat is there you will see it at night on that camera and this can help you pinpoint its location Also, if there is a lot of rain, please make scent trails for your cat around the exterior of your house. And Another tip, call your cats name calmly at night, when it’s quiet, try sitting outside, shake treat bags too. ( but do this when it’s quiet out) cats tend to move around at night when there is no noise . Also, ask your neighbors to check their garages, sheds, under decks etc. It’s also very important to create flyers and put them around town in people’s mailboxes too. Or ( You might be better off using brightly colored (neon) poster board for your flyers—people notice a "Neon Pink" sign on a utility pole much faster than a white piece of paper in their junk mail pile.) Keep your cat’s photo out there on social media, so people remember. Offer a $ reward

Shared check in & under sheds, my cat once got out and was trapped in a neighbors shed, ask neighbors,to check in & under there shed, you should too. Check under car & under hood of car in engine area. My mother’s cat escaped & ran under car & climbed into hood from under car. I witnessed this happen that is how we go her cat so quickly. While kero close eye on garage, leave garage door open if you can and kitty run in. If you have no other pets you can open door to your home or porch late at night & early morning, call kitty, open can of cat food, call kitty, so kitty can run in easily, kitty may be hiding close by & scared to come out but opening door and calling kitty , kitty may run in. Of course stay by your door while left open while calling kitty. Walk late at night & early morning around area calling kitty with smelly food, treats and opening cans cat food. Post flyers, notify local vet, rescue & animal shelters of missing kitty. Check all places in person to see if kitty brought in. I would definitely knock on neighbors doors all around, up to at least 10 houses away& several streets away front and back & give out flyers. If kitty hopped fence or crossed street could be streets away. I would post lost kitty billboard on my front lawn with photo. Check attic my kitty ran up there once. Good luck hope kitty is found soon.
