Sit something out with your scent (dirty laundry or bedding) or your cat’s scent by the area it escaped from and check frequently. There are controversies on the litter box being placed outside. Most professionals say don’t set the litter box outside, as it draws in stray and ferals in that neighborhood because they are territorial and if your cat comes out they could chase your cat away. They do not like new cats in their territory. If possible, leave a window/door open, or crack the garage door (especially overnight) to allow it to come in. Set out strong smelling wet cat food (sardines in water work great) but be careful doing this overnight, as it may attract other animals…you’ll need to check frequently for your pet’s presence. Post neon posters of your cat’s picture and your phone number to telephone poles at intersections/locations of where he was lost. Sardines in water is a great choice of food to leave out, as the smell of sardines is pungent and can be smelled from a far distance. Cats love them. Best time to look would be from dusk to dawn, the cat is going to be scared. If it’s an indoor only cat, they are usually very close or a few houses away…they're going to wait until it's quiet to move about, they might not even meow, so take a flashlight out to look for glowing eyes and use a CALM VOICE (they will pick up tension/ panic in your voice). Whatever you do at home to get them to come to you, do that outside. Check under sheds, decks, bushes, rooftops and trees…ask neighbors to check their security cameras, sheds, garages, and/or ask for permission to check their property. Indoor cats will most likely be on your property or two houses away. If you have other pets, a dog may be able to sniff out the cat…and if you have another cat, put that cat in the carrier then take it outside and sit the carrier on a step/porch while you walk around your property. Rent or buy a humane trap, ASAP! This is the best chance at retrieving your cat. Cover the top of the trap with a tarp or blanket. The ONLY food you leave out should be in that trap, behind the trip plate, towards the very back. During severe or harsh weather trap should be checked every 30 minutes . Do not leave the trap set for long periods of time unattended, especially overnight. In general, check the trap every 1-2 hours. The humane society should be able to help with this.

Open the garage door a little at nite and put food water and litter box inside. At night go outside and call the cats name a few times.

I would put the cat's litter box outside, under cover, along with some really smelly cat food and some clothes you wore recently to attract the cat. Keep an eye on it. Some people say not to put the box/food out because it might attract predators. I have known it to work. Check carefully around the outside of your house and your neighbors’ houses. Go out late at night when it's quiet and call the cat softly. Make large, easily read flyers and post them around your neighborhood with the cat’s picture and your contact info. Post a lost ad on nextdoor.com. Ask your neighbors to check garages, sheds, under decks - anywhere a cat can hide and get shut in. Borrow a trap from a shelter or vet. Don’t give up. Good luck!
