Put out dirty laundry, sheets, blankets, shirts, socks anything with your scents on it, leave his bedding, post and toys by the door..put out food at regular times he eats, but you need to keep an eye on it and not leave it out at nite or other animals will come around. DO NOT PUT OUT LITTER OR LITTER BOX, coyotes are the ones that smell cat urine!!!Check your garage and sheds and check under bushes around and near your house. If seen do not chase, talk to him softly until he comes to you...send flyers to your neighbors ask them to check their garages and sheds, check under cars, under the wheel wells. Tonight go out and call him every hour and dont yell, make meow sounds too, listen for his meow..he could be up in a tree listen carefully, Talk to ACO in your town and describe your lost cat to him so he can call if someone spots him. If you get a safe havaheart trap use it early morning and during day in a safe spot and you have to keep an eye on it, dont leave trap out at night, you will get skunks or raccoons, keep doing these things, especially the dirty laundry. One last thing, leave bowls of water around, closer to your door and around your house so he wont wander for water. ©

Do this ASAP Put out items with your scent on it, like an item of dirty clothing, towel, blankets. Put vacuum dust outside the door. Leave out a bowl of water. (if indoor only cat Will be hiding in silence and fear either in your yard or neighbors check under bushes and sheds) DO NOT put litter box out it will attract feral cats and predators. Go out at dawn and dusk and shake treats bag. Call as may times as possible, but night time is best Because its quite. Ask neighbors if you can check garages, sheds and under decks and their security camera recordings in the mid morning hours since cats are more likely to come out when it's quiet during the night. Put up 11x17 poster in neighborhood. Use a flashlight at night because you will see a reflection of their eyes, look up trees and post on your local town community page and next-door neighborhood app.

He may be hiding under a porch or a car, behind bushes, or in a wooded area. Go out late at night with a flashlight that might reflect against his eyes, and call him gently. Or shake a bag of treats, sometimes better than your voice to attract a cat that’s scared. Create scent trails on the grass and ground leading up to your home (or to a trap, ideally monitored with a trail cam, so you can respond quickly when the cat is in the trap). Get a towel and rub it with your dirty laundry, blankets, socks, or anything else with the scent of home. (Do not use kitty litter.) Tie a rope to the towel and drag it from the areas where you think the cat might be, creating scent trails leading to your house (or the trap). You won’t smell the scent on the towel or the ground, but the cat will. (If you use a trap, load it with a little cat food, chicken or tuna, enough to attract the cat from the trail that leads up to it. Rely on the scent trails to get your cat to the trap.) Rain will wash away the scent trails, so you’ll have to drag again afterwards. Also, renew the trails every couple days. Try to remain patient and hopeful. Some cats only show up after many days or even weeks. Important: . Never leave a trap unattended, always keep an eye on it, checking it every 1/2 hour in person or with a trail cam. Position the trap close to where the cat escaped. . Trail cam photos and videos are marked with time stamps, helpful to know if and when the cat shows up but doesn’t go into the trap. . Post flyers in the area with a picture of your cat and your contact information. . Even if you don’t have a trap or a trail cam, scent trails leading to your home can work.

Go out late at night or pre-dawn when it's quiet. Call out name of kitty softly if kitty eats kibbles bring a bag and shake it. Kitty is probably close by check under bushes and under pouches. Don't give up, it may take several tries.. Good luck!
