Shared your post. Meanwhile he is likely close by. Indoor cats hole up in the nearest place that feels safe, under or behind things, shrubs, decks, window wells. A humane trap with smelly food (and if possible a camera) could be a big help. Put your unwashed clothes out by your doors. (People will tell you to put out the litterbox - don’t do that, it can attract predators.) Put signs inside plastic sheet protectors on nearby poles. Tell your neighbors to check cameras and keep an eye out. Go out at night and call softly, shaking a recognizable treat bag or toy. Consider a laser toy light or flashlight to draw the cat’s attention. Best wishes.

Try lostmykitty.com they have a service that sends out a lost pet to the phones in your area with a description and your phone number asking people to check their basements, garages and sheds. There is a fee, but that’s how I found my cat. If you can print out flyers give some to the mail carriers and your neighbors and put them on their porches as well as on telephone poles. Also give some to the animal shelters and the veterinarians offices. If there are businesses nearby, ask if you can put a flyer in their window. 🙏💔

Shared check in & under sheds, my cat once got out and was trapped in a neighbors shed, check your shed, ask neighbors,to check in & under there shed. Check under car & under hood of car in engine area. My mother’s cat escaped & ran under car & climbed into hood from under car. I witnessed this happen that is how we got her cat so quickly. Open garage door if you have one and kitty run in. If you have no other pets you can open front or back door to your home where kitty ran out or late at night & early morning, call kitty, open can of cat food, so kitty can run in easily, since kitty may be hiding close by & scared to come out but opening door sometimes kitty will see easy access and run in. Of course stay by your door while left open while calling kitty. Lock any other notes you have in a room while open door so they don’t escape. This has worked for some people. Walk late at night & early morning around area calling kitty with smelly food, treats and opening cans cat food. Post flyers, notify local vet, rescue & animal shelters of missing kitty. Check all places in person to see if kitty brought in. I would definitely knock on neighbors doors all around, up to at least 10 houses away& several streets away front and back & give out flyers. If kitty hopped fence or crossed street could be streets away. I would post lost kitty billboard on my front lawn with photo. Check attic my kitty ran up there once and got trapped. Good luck hope kitty is found soon.

♦️🐈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, grills, oil tanks, etc. You may catch their eye reflection in the light. Check window wells, up trees, under cars, in cars, car engine areas, even groundhog holes. ♦️🐈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 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, basements, 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. ♦️🐈check pools in the area in case your kitty fell into one. 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.
