Please ignore the bits that don't apply Putting notes through the neighbours doors is good as not everyone is on social media. Checkany cctv that's around. Ask them to open their sheds and garages for a while to allow a frightened cat time to escape. Check all gardens and water butts. Tip the contents of your vacuum cleaner outside to scent your area. Go out at night when it's quieter rattling food and listen for miaawing. Take a torch with you as the beam will reflect the cat's eyes. If no result widen your food rattling area and put posters up. If he/she's not neutered he/she will be out after a queen on heat or waiting for any available Tom. If this is so, please, for the sake of his/her health and safety do the right thing. Alert your old neighbours if you have moved as cats often try to return home. They need to be kept in for at least a month after a house move so that they realise they have a new home Post on your local Nextdoor app too www.next-door.co.uk If he's not neutered you need to widen your search to possibly 5 miles. He's at risk of catching FiV, territory fights and crossing busy roads. Unneutered females are usually pregnant when found. Ask your postman/woman to keep an eye out

Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. They will not always respond to you, most don’t. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you hace a garage place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for him/her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take weeks to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of his/her eyes. Survival mode last 5 to 14 days. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. Make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Most people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for him/her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful.
