Stash is darling. He is so young I bet he is very close by hiding and scared. Make sure to look in trees and bushes. Knock on doors and see if someone has taken him in in case his collar has come off and someone thinks he has no home. Shared. I’m so sorry your sweet cat is temporarily lost. Post free on Nextdoor to alert your neighbors to be on lookout. Everything I am listing in this post I did, got my kitty back 2 times. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of searching at night. Always found my cats @ night. Look up in trees, found my cat 1 night, she meowed when I called out, looked up w flashlight, found her! Put your cat’s used litter box out, they will smell it, something that smells like u & a bowl of smelly cat food, battery candles - cats are attracted to light. If you have a garage door, keep slightly open 4 them 2 come in. My neighbor's cat was missing 17 days before another neighbor saw her post on Nextdoor & told her that her cat had been in her backyard, only a couple of houses away. Cats feel more comfortable coming out in the cloak of darkness, they are nocturnal. Take bag of treats, shake it, call out, then sit quietly 2 see your cat will come. My cat was stuck in a garage all night, walked down that very same alley during the daylight, did not hear him meow. Walked same alley again that night, called near garages, stopped & listened. Sure enough, I heard his little meow & I found him! He went missing once for 3 days. I hung fliers everywhere, walked alleys, went to shelters (do not depend on whoever answers the phone, they are overcrowded and have too many incoming and outgoing pets to keep track of, go look for yourself. I got him home the 3rd day, he just came walking home. Driving around @ night helped me find them because my car lights would reflect the light of their eyes. Many times I have found pets & been able to return home w tag address so it is so important to your cat chipped, collar w chip info, pet’s name, your name, current address, phone number. I now have a cat enclosure which I love. My cats can go outside, I never have to worry, they are enclosed in their wonderfully safe outdoor area and nothing can get in. Sky and Lance built my enclosure, great to work with. Their company is Cat-Topia.
