Sincere sympathies for your lost pet. Try (@barkscent) on IG. They helped me quickly locate my lost pet. Might help you too.

Create a scent station (items with your/your cat’s smell - unwashed bedding, clothing, cat tower, etc. Do NOT put out litter pan as feces often used to mark territory and may inadvertently attract predators or territorial cats.). Check it often, especially when things are quiet (late evening/early morning). Leave the garage door open 5” overnight. Check nearby Ring/security cameras in the area. Check in and under everything inside and outside with a flashlight. Cats don’t usually go far and freeze in a tight ball in very small areas when scared. The flashlight catches their eyes’ stare, especially at night. Thoroughly check inside your home, especially if this is a new/shy/scared pet. Post on NextDoor app as it covers your local neighborhoods. Be sure to check your local animal shelter in person at least every other day (can’t stress enough - in person!!! You know your pet best plus animals constantly brought in). If your cat is not spayed/neutered, may be why it is “lost” and traveling further. Hope your pet is home safe and soon. (Note: if anyone asks for money or a code as “they have your pet,” this is a scam). https://www.pawboost.com/blog/7-effective-search-tips-for-finding-your-lost-cat/ Lost cat YouTube video: https://youtu.be/g2eCoC63B9I?si=J2FOyI36PtuOzQJG

Oh no! Post posters everywhere in your neighborhood- especially where people come and go from the area- like stop signs. Add a reward to your poster to motivate people. *Your kitty probably got scared and is hiding somewhere- I can’t stress this enough! * Cats that are scared will often just hide, even if you’re calling for them. They can hide in very very small spaces! Trying going out late, at night, to look for your kitty with a flash light. The best success story I’ve heard of finding a cat was when someone followed all that advice clip about how to find your cat and went out at night with a flashlight and finally found his cat in a hedge because of the eye flash from the light- like a month later! It’s worked for a few other people who have tried it since I’ve posted this advice. Look in bushes and trees etc- where a cat would hide if he don’t want to be seen. Remember they will often find the smallest tightest spot and just stay there. If you go out that late take someone with you so you’re safe. Cats are also naturally active around dusk and dawn so those are good times to look too- you just can’t use the eye flash to your advantage. You might want to put a warm kitty box outside- look online for tons of info- in case your baby tries to get home at night. It might be worth your while to set a trap with their fave food. Don’t give up- it can take a long time to find a cat. Ask your neighbors if you can check their yards (obviously they may not be into the night time thing). Keep going out and looking late at night. And check the shelters daily online for a very long time- it can take kitties a while to get there. Shelter online systems usually have pictures so it’s a good way to check. Just make sure you check for both lost and adoptable- though their system is good mistakes can happen. Good luck.

Put some of your worn socks outside. Check with the neighbors to see if the cat might be in their garage or shed. Walk around the area and take some food with you to lure the cat out in case you see or hear the cat. Post pictures of the cat around the area and on the Nextdoor app. Check with the shelters, Craigslist and newspaper.
