Eskdm, he’s not my boy. My Sully has a tiny round dot on his left ear but his ears are intact, not cut. The cat you have was trapped, neutered and released. That is why his ears are intact is cut. He is beautiful but he has probably been a stray for awhile.

Mary William Collis I'm going to give you my number because I saw that the tip of one of her ears was cut. I don't know which one. When I come back later I'll check it properly to be sure. I didn't notice the birthmark, but I did notice the cut tip.

Mary William Collis I hope you find him soon 🙏 appears to be a lot of houses near you. He could be anywhere in at least a two block radius hiding under a porch/deck. Hopefully he didn’t get trapped in someone’s garage or shed. Maybe take flyers to the houses and ask people to check their security cameras.

Eskdm Ellamdk Alivad Sully is a male. If you can see his left ear there is a tiny circular spot without any fur. Like a birthmark!

Jan Marie I do have flyers with these same photos on all the stop signs by me. I also have his blanket and his bed/crate that he sleeps in outside too. I’ve looked everywhere inside. Thank you for your great suggestions, I’m appreciative!

Mary William Collis have you posted any flyers in the area? Not everyone is one facebook. Someone could be seeing him and think he’s just another stray cat. Lengthy, I know, but covers just about everything other owners have posted on what they did to find their cat. I hope you find your kitty soon- INDOOR and can apply to INDOOR/OUTDOOR SEARCH ♦️🐈Thoroughly check the inside of the house. Many find great hiding spots. Check drawers, behind nightstands, desks, couches, behind appliances, in closets. Check any openings between a wall and ceiling they could get in. They really can fit in small spaces and hide very well. ♦️🐈Set up a humane trap. Monitor it with a security camera or a trail cam. You can try tuna, chicken-rotisserie and KFC work well (no bones of course) sardines or even just canned cat food, their favorite treats or even catnip. Try pouring some chicken broth around the house/area. Try putting some small tempting pieces outside the trap, then some leading into the trap with the bulk of it in the back behind the trip plate. Try covering the side and back with a towel. Make sure you monitor and check the trap frequently. Can also put something with your scent and/or the cats scent inside the trap or wrap around the trap. ♦️🐈Leave a window, door, garage door partially open, after securing any other pets. Try putting down a trail of tasty treats leading into the house especially if seen and just won’t come to you. ♦️🐈Check with neighbors in case the kitty was found and they took it in. ♦️🐈PHYSICALLY go out and look for the cat. Get on your hands and knees. Search your own property and then expand to neighboring properties, with permission. Cats can get into small spaces and will hide in silence. Use a strong flashlight to look under porches, decks, sheds, dense brush, drainage pipes/ditches. You may catch their eye reflection in the light. ♦️🐈Follow the edge of the house or building. A panicked cat will most likely follow along the side of a house or building they got out from. ♦️🐈Check window wells, up trees, under cars, in cars, car engine areas, even groundhog holes. ♦️🐈Check garages, sheds, buildings cat could have gotten trapped in or under. Check any foreclosed/abandoned/under construction homes in your area that the cat could have gotten trapped in. Ask neighbors to check around their homes, vehicles, any buildings the cat could have gotten trapped in, bats, garage ceilings. You’re probably better off checking yourself if the neighbor will allow. Not many are going to actually look under porches, decks for your lost cat. And if they got trapped in a neighbors shed, they may not look in the many hiding areas where a cat could hide. THINGS TO TRY/DO ♦️🐈Put out food/water near where the cat got out. Place anything with owners scent on outside. ♦️🐈Shake their treat/food bag, open a can of food outside. ♦️🐈Post flyers -place them in ziploc bags to keep them dry. Drop off flyers to neighbors, vets, local businesses, etc. Flyers are important. Not everyone uses social media or is aware of these sites. People may just think your cat is just another stray cat, especially in areas with stray cats. ♦️🐈Post to Lost/found sites, shelter/rescue Facebook pages. Send a picture with your contact information/location to vets and shelters in your area. Most have Facebook sites you can message them with the info. Post to Craigslist. Check shelters and rescues in person. Post to the NextDoor and Ring app(if you have Ring) ♦️🐈Try just sitting outside quietly talking. Try using a laser pointer at night to draw them out of hiding. LOST CAT BEHAVIOR ♦️🐈They tend to not go far unless chased by a predator, another territorial cat, dog, human. They generally hide very close to the house they got out from. ♦️🐈They can hide in silence. And in fear. Some will mew very softy so listen closely. ♦️🐈Some will come back after midnight or the very early morning hours. ♦️🐈If you moved and didn't move far, check your old place out. Some cats return to their former home. ♦️🐈They generally will not come if called. But sometimes you can hear a soft mew if they are hiding close by. ♦️NOTE- It generally is not recommended to put their dirty litter box outside, it can attract predators such as coyote and other aggressive territorial cats that may prevent or prolong your cat from coming back. ♦️NOTE- If your cat was never found, please continue to check the lost/found sites/shelters and local rescues. Cats can be found weeks, months, and years after they went missing.

🐾if your not sure that he got out , crack a can of catfood and tap it and walk around the house tapping. Some cats have been getting stuck in attics and crawl spaces when people are pulling out decorations- if he did get out Put dirty laundry out, go out shake treats, crack a can of catfood and tap it. Look at night with flashlight because their eyes glow. Check in sheds and under porches, decks ect. Talk to neighbors too, make sure they check their shelters . Might have to set a hav-a heart trap if he's that skittish. Might only come out at night. Sometimes if you leave part of your garage open they will sneak back in. Not sure if that's possible or if you have other animals. I've heard where the cat jumps back in a window. Flyers help too, someone may have taken him in or seen him. Let your post office delivery person know too in case they hear of someone or see him on the local route- check with neighbors, someone may have brought him in. It's a good idea to hang a sign from your mailbox "LOST CaT" in case they are looking for an owner. You can buy a cheap TASCo game camera at Walmart $29 with an SD card and set it up to see if you catch him near by. It surprisingly takes good pictures and is easy to set up- definitely do the dirty laundry and definitely do the tapping of the cat food can. These things really do help🐾🐾🐾don't lose hope. I've had strays remain elusive for over a year before they learn to trust again. They go into survival mode. Be vigilant about flyers, ask neighbors. Sometimes the cat is hanging out at a neighbors close by ***also check with PAW BOOST and Next door
