Check every vehicle under any stationary platform's or storage and check in garages porches sheds with the storms he might have crawled in a small place or got locked in check even stationary cars cats can find ways into them and become trapped.

Don't put her litter box outside that will invite other cats and predators which will muddle her scent. I've had some experience with this and actually read an articlethat said that the safer way is to put out something with your scent you are her safe place your scent will carry on the air.or her blanket you can change it if you think it has lost its scent

Ask the delivery drivers and mail personnel to keep am eye out check the shelter make sure they are aware of him so if he gets brought in they don't accidentally put him down chk shelters within a 2.5 to 5 mile radius yes he could get that far but if he was taken that's about how far someone usually travels away before dumping. If you had problems or if thier is a particular person in neighborhood who hates cats I'd keep eye out same goes for someone who shows to much attention not liking or thinking it's safe for him to be out . Keep the search fresh in people's minds and check with local vets if he was hit or someone yook him they may might take him in for medical care.

If you can put out something heavy with your scent he will smell it your scent travels further will be more familiar and is a comforting scent which should draw him back home. Put it in a safe but accessible place near the area he disappeared from or usually hangs out in. He will probably be near it hiding in not to long a time. I've read recently in several rescues that this technique works. And the scent will last even if it rains and you can change the item every couple days. Putting Flyers in mail boxes and local vets and businesses doesn't hurt. Ask delivery people and mail personnel if they would take a flyer and keep an eye out they are in neighborhood and might see him. Check shelters and vets let them know your looking and that way if he's brought in they are aware he's lost . Good luck don't be afraid to call every couple of days. If you see him do not run after him he might be scared call to him let him know it's you carry his favorite toy treat or blanket to help reassure him.

Don't give up keep looking best in evening when it's quieter and dont be afraid to keep calling and asking people resend flyers recheck places anyone who may have shown to much intrest in your cat positive or negative in today's world you never know better to cover all bases and check out every and all possibilities i hate to think like that but I didn't and it cost me dearly and I never want anyone to go through that.

I hope you find your baby dont be afraid to pester the shelter and resend flyers remember they can get far from home also given the weather someone could have picked baby up to save it or just taken it before to check with anyone who might have an issue with you because you never know many blessings you could look up a lost pet prayer and pray it I lost a cat once for over 20 days I started the prayer and within 12 days he was found a black cat in the desert for 30 plus days was found on Camp Pendleton what are the odds. People say it was luck I dont but that's me.

Hi Feather, Thanks for your input. 🩷 I contacted Babs regarding a trap and was advised it would be best to identify him on camera first out as I have found that there are quite a few indoor/outdoor cats in this area as pets. Yes, the Humane Society also offers them to rent for a week. I've tried mackerel, sardines, but not tuna so will give that a shot. Thanks everyone for your ongoing support! It is such a heart wrenching time for us!😥🙏
