Here are a few things you can try. Cats usually don’t go far. They just hide well. Cats are very active at dusk and dawn. So first of all you can go out and call for him. You can put his food/water, and lots of cat nip outside your house to help draw him back. Also, put your cat's bedding that has your cat's scent on it outside to attract your cat back to your home. Also putting your own unwashed clothes or bedding out . Cats run on scent and this is highly effective in luring your cat back home .PetMD backs this up, can help lure the cat back home, as it's a comfortable and familiar smell. Shake the treat/food container outside. Check garages, especially under porches and decks,dense bushes, etc. Get one of those strong flashlights they will catch a cat's reflective eyes two blocks away and save you tons of time!!! Do not leave the food out overnight as it will attract other animals that can scare the kitty away. Go to your neighbors and let them know your kitty got out and give them your contact info. Walk your neighborhood and talk to people as you can. Take a flyer TO your local vets office and shelter a face is better than a thousand words of description and check every couple of days in person if possible Sometimes it can take weeks or months to find your kitty. Also post with Pawboost and Sam the Parrot about your missing cat. Many times cats are found within a couple hundred feet of their homes. Post fliers around your neighborhood with your phone number that people can call day or night. And talk to your mail carrier. They see lots of animals. If they see a strange kitty around, they may recognize it as yours. Make sure you call local animal shelters, etc Best time to look is between 1-6AM Get a humane trap ASAP! This it's the best chance at retrieving your cat. Line it with newspaper. The ONLY food you leave out should be in that trap. Do not leave the trap set for long periods of time unattended, especially overnight. The most importantly do not give up hope! Open your garage door a little. Don’t put the litter box out. 🙏🏻Also take a flashlight out at night and look in and under things to see if you can see the kitty’s eyes.

Awww, she's so beautiful. Black cats are the best. Cats that get outside don't usually go far. She's probably scared and hiding/seeking shelter nearby. Keep checking under nearby porches, decks, shrubs and in garages and sheds. Best times to search and call for her are dusk and dawn. Shake her treat bag while calling her name. Keep putting her food, water, and something with her scent on it outside your door to help her find her way back. Since she's skittish and probably fearful outside, it would be a good idea to set a humane trap. It's how I finally got my cat back when he was lost last summer. He wouldn't let me approach him, so the trap was the best option. I believe you can borrow a trap from Humane Ohio on Alexis Road or you can order online. In the meantime, in late afternoon/early evening, put canned tuna/fishy canned cat food outside your door so Onyx can smell it from wherever she's hiding. Let your neighbors and mail carrier know that she's missing so they can be on the lookout for her. Post on Sylvania/Toledo Lost and Found Pet page and Sylvania Neighborhood Facebook page to get the word out. Put flyers up in the area. Sending prayers for beautiful Onyx to be safe and home very soon.
