A worn piece of clothing often works well on your porch as well as inside a garage. As I mentioned previously. It would be good to post a neighbors ring app which covers the three plus mile radius of your location and alerts people that have the app. It would be good to focus on a one to two block radius of your location, especially at Dawn, dusk and feeding time and shake a bag of cat treats or cat food vigorously to help attract your cats attention if it's nearby and bring a flashlight with you to help catch a glimpse of its eyes. If it's near. While you're in this area, make sure you check trees shrubbery window wells and especially under decks and porches where cats are often found and ask your neighbors to check their shed and garage where cats are also often found. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so time is the essence and especially with 4th of July coming with the fireworks so your cat doesn't get scared off further. Hoping to hear good news soon. Good luck!

Flyers are very important. They are best put in a zip gallon bag that is upside down to protect from the elements. It was just recently that both the dog and a cat were reunited by flyers alone since the people that found the animals did not have social media. If you adopted from a rescue, they usually like to know ASAP that a former animal is missing. If your cat has a microchip, it's good to make sure your contact information is up to date so you can be contacted if your cat is found. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so time is of the essence. Make sure your cat is not hiding in the garage in a closet in a dresser, drawer or behind furniture which often happens. I've heard of a few cats returning home the past few years when the owner left their garage open about 5 inches with a worn piece of clothing on the inside of the garage near the opening to help attract the cat if it comes close back to home but not too wide. So you do not attract unwanted animals. It's good if you go check outside on your block around Dawn and dusk with a flashlight looking in shrubbery and under decks and porches to hopefully catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it is close by. Usually cats are scared when they first leave home and might not even respond to you. So the flashlight might come in handy to catch a glimpse of the eyes. It's also good to check your local animal control in person daily because things change very often and best in person. It's also good to check local rescues and shelters in your area daily. Hoping for a quick and safe return.....

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a basement window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck.
