Time is of the essence. Cats don’t go far from home. Don’t wait for social media to bring your cat home, you need to be proactive. Leave the door/window the kitty exited from open 24/7. If unable, then crack garage door open 24/7 enough to get in. Hang worn clothes and/or your pillow case in a tree or on top of shrubs to create a scent trail. Knock on neighbors doors with a picture asking them to keep an eye out. See if they can check Ring cameras for any sighting. Post signs with kitty’s picture as many as possible, include surrounding neighborhoods. Go out late at night with a flashlight, shaking a bag of food, calling kitty’s name, looking under shrubs for their shining eyes. Post on Ring, Nextdoor and check shelters. Don’t give up. 💕

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.....

I'm a little confused since he said he never gets out but he always comes back 🥺 I hope you're out looking for him, especially at Dawn dusk and feeding time in a one to two block radius shaking a bag of cat treats or cat food vigorously to help attract your cats. Attention if close by and also bring a flashlight to catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it's near. A worn piece of clothing often works well on your porch as well as inside a garage near the opening where the door is opened about 5 in to help attract your cat if it's nearby

Put some of your worn clothes & empty contents of vacuum outside for smell. Leave Kitties food & water out. Go out at night with a flashlight & check under decks, porches, cars, up trees, bushes, window wells, in & around garages for Glowing Eyes! Check Ring Cams & neighbors for blocks! They generally stay close by! Call PD & let them know he’s missing & check shelters! The more people looking the better & don’t give up🙏
