Cats generally do not go very far but can hide so well. If he’s an inside cat only he’s probably very scared. They will usually stay within 1-3 houses from where they are lost. They don’t just roam like a dog will. Look under houses and sheds, in garages, in bushes, up in trees (yes in trees). At night take a flashlight and shine it in all those places again while calling his name. Look for GLOWING EYES. This is important Go look at different times of the day and night. Walk and shine that light Don’t just drive around. They hide. They’re scared. Keep calling for him. He may come out at nite when it is quieter. Place some of your worn clothing and his bed and blanket on the porches. Cats have a great sense of smell. Be sure and check periodically to see if he’s out there. Keep calling him. Put trail cameras up outside and see if you see him coming around. Put signs up everywhere. On car windows, doors, poles. Ask your neighbors if you can check their yards and garages and sheds to make sure he’s not trapped in one. Keep calling his name. Ask your postman to keep an eye out for him. Post on local Facebook lost pet sites in your area. Take flyer with his picture to your local animal control in case someone brings him in. Check in person to make sure he’s not there. Take signs to local vet offices and post for lost cat. Keep calling for him every chance you get. You may want to get a Have a Heart trap and bait with something smelly like tuna. Keep calling his name. He’s close by. Ask your neighbors if they’ve taken him in thinking he was a stray. My cat Ziggy was missing for 3 weeks. I found him by using the flashlight at nite and saw his glowing eyes thru slats of a fence. I would shine that light everywhere like I was the cops searching for an escaped prisoner. And I kept calling him. I found him in the garage NEXT DOOR where I had already looked but they can hide so good. Keep looking. Don’t give up. Keep calling his name. He hears you. He’s close by. Praying your baby comes home soon. Hugs ❤️
