Put some clothing out that the cat likes to lay on as well as some of your clothing. Also, put some food and water out. Post pictures of the cat around the area and on the Nextdoor app. and Craigslist. Check the shelters. Check with the neighbors to see if the cat might be in their garage or shed. Go outside and open a can of tuna about the time you would feed the cat and call the cats name.

Call him from your house call often day and night. Put something that smell like you by your doors, worn socks work great they have a strong scent of you and home. These will help him know the way to get home. Tonight very late or very early tomorrow morning go out with a flashlight and look underneath things, please do not go alone. Call and listen, give him time to get to you. Most of the time they are too scared to move. Check with neighbors, he could have run in a garage or shed when seeking a place to feel safe. Ask neighbors if they have seen him on ring cams. I hope you find this handsome boy. DON"T give up.

Oh no! Post posters everywhere in your neighborhood- especially where people come and go from the area- like stop signs. *Your kitty probably got scared and is hiding somewhere- I can’t stress this enough! * Cats that are scared will often just hide, even if you’re calling for them. Trying going out late, at night, to look for your kitty with a flash light. The best success story I’ve heard of finding a cat was when someone followed all that advice clip about how to find your cat and went out at night with a flashlight and finally found his cat in a hedge because of the eye flash from the light- like a month later! It’s worked for a few other people who have tried it since I’ve posted this advice. Look in bushes and trees etc- where a cat would hide if he don’t want to be seen. If you go out that late take someone with you so you’re safe. Cats are also naturally active around dusk and dawn so those are good times to look too- you just can’t use the eye flash to your advantage. Now that it’s winter you might want to put a warm kitty box outside- look online for tons of info- in case your baby tries to get home at night. Don’t give up- it can take a long time to find a cat. Ask your neighbors if you can check their yards (obviously they may not be into the night time thing). Keep going out and looking late at night. And check the shelters daily online for a very long time- it can take kitties a while to get there. Shelter online systems usually have pictures so it’s a good way to check. Just make sure you check for both lost and adoptable- though their system is good mistakes can happen. Good luck.
