If you can get a live trap that will help. Have neighbors check all garages and sheds in case he got stuck in one. Also check sewers and in trees because a lost cat was recently stuck in one. And under porches. At night go outside with a flashlight and some treats or a bag of cat food and call for him.You can also play ringtones of kittens meowing- he might hear it. Shine the flashlight in bushes so you can see his eyes glowing. Many people have found their lost pets between midnight-6 am. Be sure to check all surrounding shelters,rescues and vets in case someone found him and brought him there. Also check with your mail carrier as they see alot on their routes. Check all closets,drawers,crawl spaces,bat,attic,inside recliners and inside and behind the couch in case he hid and got stuck.Go outside when its dark with a laser pointer and point it to the ground-he might see it. If you have a baby monitor put it outside so you can hear him. Leave your garage door up a little bit and put some food in there so he can go in. And most importantly- do NOT listen to anyone who tells you to text a number or code or to go onto Instagram or FB for "pet rescuers", "pet trackers" or "pet detectives" because they're scammers preying on pet owners and should be reported and banned.

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. 🙏🏻
