The best time to look for a cat is late at night after the daytime sounds settle down. Go for a walk and take a flashlite scan into the trees and under bushes. A cat can fit in any hole that they can fit their head thru they have collapsible shoulder blades. Most indoor cats stay close to home but come out at night. Most important is to make your presence known. Go out every half hour after 9pm and call for them and stop and listen it's amazing what you can hear late at night. Get your voice and scent out there. They are looking for you also. Look for glowing eyes at night. If there is a dog sibling that the cat likes take the dog on the walk. If you open canned cat food or shake treats do so on your walk. If the cat has a noisy toy shake it on your walk. Make posters and put in every business within a mile of the home. Let your mail carrier know. If there are teenagers in the neighborhood let them know they love reward money and being a hero. Check all local shelters. Let local veterinarians know your info. If there is a feral colony near you check it out. If you can find the feeder of the colony give them your info. Make large signs and put in neighbors yards at least a mile radius of the home. This ensures that everyone in the area has the info. Put post it notes on your neighbors doors to look in sheds and garages. Post on every Facebook forum in your area. Post on Pawboost and For the love of Louie. Check Humane Society. So important to make your presence known every half hour after 9pm. Make a bed out of the cats carrier and put soiled clothes from inside the home around the bed. Put it as close to the house as you can. Leave a shed or garage open check them often. Camp in your yard. Most indoor cats are found late at night. Don't give up. Do not put food out or litter it attracts every animal in the area including raccoon opossum feral cats and coyotes. Your cat will know that there is food inside and that is incentive to keep them close to the house. If you are outside that's OK but take it in when you go back in. If your cat sees a predator eating their food it might make them retreat further. Most important is to let them know you are looking for them. Hope you find your baby

Lori Erickson-Wick Please report the dead cat to Animal Services, 815-319-4100, so they can pick it up and scan for a chip to notify the family. Leave a message for the officer, they will call back on a “No ID” number. They are on duty from 7 am-midnight daily.

Shannon Elizabeth I was just wondering because I was at a garage sale just a little bit ago and a guy asked the guy at the garage sale if the dead cat on the side of the street was his. It wasn't so I took a picture of it and it kind of looks like your cat but I could be totally wrong. Do you want to see a picture? If so I will send it through your messenger. Like I said though I could be totally wrong so please don't get upset it just seemed to have the same kind of markings.

Get water our 24/7. They need it more than food. Register to all lost sites. Try a trap with tuna. Only when you’re home to monitor it frequently. A trap can be very effective because of their freak out factor. Could be an intruder cat is keeping him off his own yard. Or coming through so he is hiding. Or could be being fed by someone else. Go out and call him and shake a treat bag. Walk around the neighborhood. Leave your garage up a bit if you can. Go out at night with a flashlight to look for glowing eyes. Get posters up everywhere. Put in gallon ziplock bags that are upside down to guard against precipitation. Put posters all around your area and further out at major crossroads. This is key to alert neighbors he is missing. Ask neighbors to check under sheds, cars, bushes, decks and inside sheds, garages, window wells and behind bushes and up trees. Check your county shelter every couple days in person. Good luck. Kitties can be gone for awhile. Don’t give up.
