Put up signs, contact local vets and shelters, talk to your neighbors, and post on all the lost and found groups you can find. Put out food and water. Leave a way open for him to get back inside or make him a shelter. If you don't have a camera, get one (to see if he comes home for the food....a neighbor's camera is not the same), and keep food out for the kitty. Go out really early in the morning like 3 when it's totally quiet and call softly and listen for your kitty to answer back. They go into wild mode sometimes after they've been out when they're used to being in, so be prepared for the kitty to run or seem aggressive. One of ours recently got out and this is how we got her back after 10 days. We saw her on the camera at 3AM the 9th day. I went out and called for her at 3 the next morning when it was still and quiet outside. She answered back to me from behind our rose bushes. She bit me twice while I was bringing her in, but she was acting like herself again in a few hours after she settled down. It sometimes takes 10-14 days for a scared cat to be comfortable enough to come back around home. I hope you get your kitty home. Good luck.

So sorry to hear that your cat is missing, here are some things that might help in your search. Put out things that smell familiar, like their toys, bed, definitely their favorite food and water. And things that smell like you such as a shirt or blanket. Double check every place in your house, crawlspaces, sheds, and garages, and in the bushes around your house. Ask neighbors to do the same. Cats will hide in the darndest places. And call his name while you're walking around outside looking for him, or even inside in case he's trapped in a closet. The sound of your voice will help. Get flyers up in the area and make sure your neighbors are all aware to be on the lookout. Post on PawBoost and all the Lost Pet sites for where you live, and those will get shared. Constantly check with all of the animal shelters and they're posting a lot their intakes on Facebook. Also check with vets in the area. You can set out a humane trap and see if you can catch your kitty that way. If your cat is micro chipped, which I hope it is, check with the microchip company in case somebody finds your cat . If you have Ring or other security cameras outside, check those, and ask neighbors if they can check theirs as well. And if you've heard about coyotes in the area, please don't continue to let them outside. Please bring them inside and keep them inside to keep them safe going forward.

Inside cats usually hide close by. Check crawlspaces and sheds and neighbor's crawlspaces and sheds with their permission. Go out at dark with a flashlight to see glowing eyes in bushes and up trees. Leave a way open for them at night. Also post on ring and Nextdoor apps. Signs can also be helpful. Please also watch out for scammers. Praying you find your baby.
