Stand outside at your house and call him, this way he knows which direction is home. Call often, day and night. Try very early in the morning when the world is quiet, call and then listen in case he is stuck somewhere, use a flashlight to see eye reflection. Put something that smells like you outside by your doors. put out worn socks, it works they really smell like you. Change those socks everyday so the scent stays strong.

NextDoor app is your best chance as covers your area. Be sure to check your local animal shelter in person (can’t stress - in person!!! You know your pet plus shelter workers are super busy and can’t keep up) every couple days. Follow your pets routine, as weird as it might sound, as this sometimes help. Create a scent station with items that have your smell, your cat’s smell. Bedding, clothing, cat tower, etc. Do NOT put out its litter pan as feces are often used to mark territory. You may inadvertently attract predators or territorial cats. Check in and under everything with a flashlight. Cats don’t go far and freeze in a tight ball in very small areas when scared. But they stare which is where the flashlight comes in handy as it catches their eyes, especially at night. If you cat is not spayed/neutered, may be why is “lost” and traveling further. Pray your baby is home safe and soon. https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/
