If you have a shed or garage or enclosed porch, prop open the door overnight and put unwashed laundry inside. He may go in overnight. Don't put food in there because it may attract other critters. Leave a window or door open to your home after dark. He may come in. Please borrow a trap from your local shelter and set it up ASAP. Sending prayers.🙏

You really really need to make your house smell, irresistible, yummy and get some wildlife cameras to monitor feeding stations. With this cat being blind, it really needs additional help finding its way back home and it will use its nose to do so. Create a comfort station with the following items Dirty laundry, your dirty laundry, freshwater, warmed up, stinky, smelling cat food, sprinkle, catnip, and clean cat litter, dirty cat litter in addition, open a window door or garage at 6 inches with food leading inside each home as a different smell unique smell to it and cats recognize it by opening a window smell of your house gets outside. Lastly this is the best tip… Make one is called CHUM by mixing one can of tuna fish with very very hot water to intensify the smell. Take this liquid stew or liquid soup and pour it on the perimeter of your yard leading to the front or the back door, also pouring around the perimeter of your house like wheel wheels on a bicycle wheel you want the hub to be your house and you want all trails leading to the hub essentially all good smells lead back home do this ASAP. It has already been over a week. Have you had any sightings whatsoever and you have flyers everywhere in the neighborhood

I'm so sorry he is lost. You may want to consider a tracking service such as Dogs Finding Dogs. They find cats and other pets too.

Apply whatever may work in your situation: If nobody actually saw him/her get out, check EVERYWHERE to make sure (s)he's not hiding somewhere or stuck behind appliances or in the lining underneath beds/couches or locked in a closet etc. and if not then here are some tips to help you get your cat back home: 1. Put wet/smelly food out in the evening. Pick it up during the day or if you notice it's attracting strays. 2. ***PUT THEIR DIRTY LITTER BOX OUTSIDE BUT SEE NOTE BELOW *** 3. Put out an unwashed article of your clothing or a dirty sheet/towel/t-shirt. You can also make "scent strips" from these items and place them in trails leading to your door. 4. Walk around the area listening for meows, look up in the trees as well. Your cat could be stuck somewhere and unable to get home. Ask neighbors to check their garages, outbuildings and sheds. Go out in the evening with a flashlight and look under porches, sheds, and any wooded areas etc. your cat's eyes will glow from the light. LOOK EVERYWHERE, high up in trees and low under shrubs, outbuildings and sewers for any response. Cats do tend to hunker down. 5. You can make chum trails leading to your door by using a can of cat food and a gallon of warm water. Shake well and sprinkle in trails leading to your door. You can also make scent trails using dirty litter. 6. Your cat will be most active between dusk and dawn. Try shaking a bag of treats and softly calling your cat's name while searching with a flashlight to catch the reflection of your cat's eyes. If you have a certain way of calling them when you want them to come to you at home, go around calling for them just like that. Call softly, go slow and then pause to LISTEN and LOOK for any response. 7. Get fliers up right away. Make sure to include a picture and your contact info. Put flyers in plastic page protectors to keep them from getting wet/torn. 8.Cats tend to hunker down in low places like shrubs, ground cover or under sheds and outbuildings and in window wells. Check your property thoroughly and ask neighbors to do the same. 9. File a lost report with the appropriate shelter and visit *in person* often. 10. KEEP IN MIND THAT MOST CATS DO NOT GO FAR, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE NOT USED TO SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS. ***Putting their dirty litter box outside or making dirty litter trails around your yard from places he/she may hide to the point they went missing from (usually your door) quite often works! I know a lot of people that were scared off from putting out their cat's dirty litter after reading posts that say it draws predators and ferals. When they had given up hope of ever getting their cats back and felt they had nothing to lose they decided to put the cat's litter box outside and the cats often came home within hours. Just keep an eye on the litter box and if you see any problems take it inside for a while and then put it back out if need be. I have had many people say this is what finally worked for them and have never heard anyone ever say it drew any ferals or predators. Food and chum trails are more likely to draw unwanted visitors than another cat's dirty litter and litter trails. It's your cat and you should try whatever you want to get your cat back home!
