Search closed up spaces like attics, garages, crawl spaces etc! They get locked up more often than people think… Also check Culvers that run under the ground. I find a lot of cats there when I’m helping to rescue and trap… Don’t forget to check your trees… Sit out some of your work clothes or even your bed linens that you have usually recently cats can smell up to a mile circumference… I will tell you as a huge Animal advocate that flyers work better than social media so any flyers that you can post around your neighborhood to your mailman, etc., are extremely beneficial… Stay vigilant and do not give up. I’ve seen them come home after a year… If you live in a neighborhood, he is most likely within 3 to 4 houses of where you are at especially since he has never been out before… If anyone has left your home since he has gone missing it is possible that one cats are scared. They hit a ride up underneath the car and could get out wherever that person stopped at so if you want to try backtracking to wherever the sad person went from the time they left your home that is also an option that I have encountered throughout my years.!

These are general search tips and not all may apply in your situation. Search at night w/ a flashlight (eyes will glow). Check up in trees and inside/under things in your yard and up to 4 - 5 houses away. Search garages, sheds, under decks and bushes, in crawl spaces, behind AC units - any place the cat might be trapped or hiding. Many cats go into hiding mode for safety and won't come when they hear their owner's voice but try calling and try either shaking a can/bag of treats or carrying an open (smelly) can of cat food or fish. Put something w/ the cat's scent on the porch (cat bed, scratching post, sofa pillows). Keep your garage door up enough to allow entry. Keep fresh bowls of water out. Put up large missing cat posters (neon poster board works well), talk to neighbors (leave info for those not home), post on all local social media groups and make sure to check with local animal control at least once a week (better to go in person but at least call and send them a photo). If not found at night with a flashlight, go out during early morning, before dawn, as many cats are active around that time. If not found in a few days, you can always buy a humane cat trap but traps *must* be checked multiple times each day, every day. If the cat is microchipped, please make sure the chip company has your updated contact information. And even if the cat has a chip, you still need to check with animal control as chips sometimes are overlooked or migrate down.

Go out early morning or after dark. Chances are you cat is scared and hiding....take a flashlight ...if your cat doesn't come to you, shine it around to see if it catches it's eyes...under bushes and in the trees. Put a BIG, COLORFUL sign at the last place seen so people know where your cat belongs if they spot him or her…ask your neighbors to check sheds, crawl spaces and garages. Go to your local shelters every day or 2 to look for yourself…please don't depend on a phone call. The person you speak to may not be aware that your pet might have been turned in. If possible, leave your door or window open a crack while you're home.
