He got out last night around 9:30. Please check your cameras, under porches inside grges and sheds. He is nice but probably scared.

There are a few proactive things you need to do right way… I would go outside and call for him and shake a treat bag regularly. He may be holed up behind a bush or hiding. Probably not far away but they do get freaked out once they get out. Can you put your garage up 6”? Put a bed and water out there. He needs water 24/7. You can register him to multiple Lost sites. That way you get a poster to put up to alert neighbors he’s missing. Put them up also at more major crossings and intersections. Do the most right away. Check alleys and outdoor cat colonies in your area. Also a live TRAP is very effective when he gets hungry he’ll take the stinky tuna bait. Put it up near your house where you can monitor it often. I would only do this during the day and at dusk. Put his favorite blanket or your jacket over one end so she’s not as aware of the cage. Good luck.🍀 Hope you spot him.

Lost Cat Recovery Checklist Immediate Actions ■ Start searching close to where she got out (cats usually hide nearby). ■ Check high & low hiding spots: under cars, porches/decks, shrubs, garages, sheds. ■ Ask neighbors to check open garages/sheds and closed spaces before shutting doors. Best Times to Search ■ Search during quiet/dark hours (best: 12am–7am, especially 1–6am). ■ Use a strong flashlight at night to spot eye reflection. Calling & Approaching ■ Call for her during still hours (overnight/early morning). ■ If you see her: stay calm and quiet (don’t chase). Scent Lures (Safe Options) ■ Put outside: her bed/blanket or your unwashed clothing/bedding. ■ Place scent items near the trap and/or leading toward the door. ■ Do NOT place a litter box outside (can attract predators such as coyotes). Food / Feeding Station ■ Set up a feeding station and feed during the day only. ■ Do NOT leave food out overnight (attracts wildlife & scares cats off). Humane Trap (Highly Recommended) ■ Get a live/humane trap ASAP. ■ Use food only inside the trap (don’t leave food elsewhere). ■ Cover trap with a tarp/blanket for safety and comfort. ■ Check trap frequently—never leave it unattended overnight. ■ In harsh weather: check every 30 minutes. Outreach (Very Important) ■ Post flyers around the neighborhood with phone number (day/night contact). ■ Bring flyers to local vets, shelters (go in person every few days if possible), and pet stores. ■ Tell your mail carrier (they notice roaming pets). ■ Ask known stray feeders/rescuers if they’ve seen her. Mindset ■ Keep checking at different times daily. ■ Don’t give up—cats can be found weeks or months later

Check garages sheds window wells porches bushes under decks vehicles. Ask neighbors to check these places incase he got locked in someplace and can't get out. Go out day and night calling his name. Also look up trees. Cats will climb up trees if something scares them. Go in person to animal control shelters vets to see if someone dropped him off. It's very important to check the hoods of vehicles. Cats will climb up under the hood of a vehicle to stay warm. They also can travel under one. Even get dumped far out. Cats can travel a distance. ( Not saying he did, but it happens.) Check out all the lost and found sites daily. Check the storm drains too. Call his name! Shake a bag of treats. Call his name! It's very important that you keep doing everything that I suggested in my comment everyday and night. 🙏♥️!

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a bat window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck
