Please place his bedding outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing front and back door with a can of tuna on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well. Also vacuumed home dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home enterence . Show your neighbors a picture of the cat. Ten houses to the left ten house to the right front and back if they spot him to give you a call immediately. Go early in the morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Best of luck finding your kitty 🙏 ❤️

I’m so sorry your fur baby is missing. I’m posting a few tips to to help you find him, and I realize that perhaps you’ve already tried some of them. (But hopefully there’s still a point or two you’ll find helpful.) Please put his bed/blanket or an unwashed article of your clothing outside, the scent will help him find his way home. (Experienced rescues advise not to use soiled cat litter as it can attract predators and aggressive cats.) If he’s an indoor only kitty, he’s probably close but hiding. Check under the house, porches, and in sheds and garages, anywhere he may be trapped. Ask your neighbors to do the same. Ask them, too, to check their Ring cameras. If he’s not home by tonight, search under bushes and shrubs with a flashlight, his eyes will reflect the light and you'll be able to see him. Best time to search is late night and early morning when it’s most quiet outside. Call his name softly and gently shake a treat bag. Also, leave open an entrance to your home in case he comes home late at night. Post on Pawboost and Nextdoor, excellent additional resources that can assist you. If you can, put up fliers throughout your neighborhood and report him as missing to local vets. Finally, be sure to file a lost kitty report with your county shelter, Bonnie Hays Shelter 503-846-7041. Send a photo to them, if possible. Last but not least, beware of lost pet scams. They appear to be on the increase these days. All my best wishes for a speedy reunion.

If Nico is normally an INSIDE cat… then he is definitely scared and hiding and you will need to go out at NIGHT with a flashlight and look for his “glowing” eyes. He is VERY CLOSE to your house… most likely in YOUR OWN YARD. They usually find a hiding spot very quickly and very close to where they escaped. Look up in the trees and check under everything in YOUR YARD first… under decks, under sheds, inside bushes, wood piles and storm drains. Then check your neighbors yards. They are very good at hiding. THE BEST TIME TO FIND HIM IS AT NIGHT WITH A FLASHLIGHT AND HIS EYES WILL “GLOW” BACK AT YOU. Nico is so scared, he will NOT respond to you calling him, so you'll have to use your eyes instead of your ears to find him. When cats are suddenly outside, they go into "survival mode" and their entire personality changes. They will NOT wander. They find a hiding spot very close by and are very scared and will not come out for anyone... even their owners. I hope you find your fur-baby very soon!
