Put out some worn clothing on your porch. Notify all your neighbors he is missing and ask them to check under their decks, house and in their garage and any outbuildings they might have. Put up posters with his picture and your phone number around your neighborhood. Posters work. Lots of people have found their cats because neighbors saw their posters. You might also want to go out and look after dark with a flashlight. They typically don’t stray too far from home.

Post on Nextdoor and look at night with a flashlight. His eyes will glow. Please do not take advice to put his litter box outside. Litter attracts predators. If found, please consider indoors-only. We have coyotes in this area.

Brenna Sommermale cats can reach s3xual maturity by 6 months of age (females can go into heat as young as 3.5 months of age 🙀). It's best to get them fixed by 5 months old 😞 Unneutered tomcats will travel 5 miles for a female in heat. If you haven't already, put up flyers everywhere as many people aren't on social media. Since he's not microchipped, give flyers to every vet clinic, rescue, and shelter in the area in case he turns up. Since he's not neutered, ask them all about any local TNR groups and community cat feeders, and give them flyers too, in case he turns up at a colony somewhere looking for a girlfriend. Ask your neighbors to check their cameras, garages, sheds, and crawlspaces. Ask them if they had any visitors or contractors doing work on their houses around the time he went missing. If so, call the visitors and businesses and ask them if they had an accidental stowaway. Look up in trees in case he was chased. Walk the neighborhood in the wee hours with a flashlight and look for glowing eyes. Call him in a regular voice (not panicked) and gently shake a treat bag if he likes that kind of stuff. If he's injured or scared, he's probably hunkered down and hiding, and he may not answer you when you call. That's just instinctual, as a vocal cat gives away their location to predators, and an injured cat is prey. Put his beds/blankets and some of your dirty clothes on your porches and around the perimeter of your yard. When he comes home, get him neutered and microchipped ASAP, and be sure to register the chip online. You might consider building or buying a catio (some people have bought pre-made chicken coops and "attached" them to their houses with kitty access through a window); or, if you have a fenced-in yard, consider putting up cat-fencing or coyote rollers on top of the fence to keep him safely in your yard (both can be DIY). Good luck ❤️

Suzy Creamcheese he is not neutered, not microchipped, & he is indoor and outdoor. We let both of our cats out with our sliding glass door that we typically leave open when we are home and they always come back. We understand he may be out on a long adventure, but he has never been gone this long, especially without his meals (orange cat with a big appetite)..

Is he neutered? Microchipped? Outdoor only, or indoor/outdoor?
