What a precious boy! I hope your fur baby makes his way home very soon. The most effective tool is good old fashioned flyers. Everyone in the area will see them and will keep your missing kitty top of mind.

Use a flashlight 🔦- even in the daytime and look in and under everything in your yard and nearby like under decks shrubs and in sewer drains. The light can show them hiding by their eye reflection. Have neighbors check sheds and garages. Put their water out and food bowl 🥣 Feed him/her at the scheduled times and call loudly to them. Worn tshirts or fabrics like pillow cases near or just beyond the borders of your property call help orient them. (Cats cover their business well to avoid alerting enemies to their presence. Even though some recommend putting the litter box outside? There’s a possibility it could make them more skittish or afraid!) A trail cam can help tell if he’s sneaking around in middle of the night. Check any cat colonies/feeding stations nearby. Put up posters so neighbors know who he/she is. Check and post on Pawboost Nextdoor and Ring app. Really hope they are home safe asap! 🙏
