Put the details on animal search uk too, their pet patroller scheme works! Local dog walkers, joggers etc get the notifications (as I do), it’s a good idea.
HAVE YOU TRIED THESE TIPS ?*Generally cats don't wander too far off in the first few days of going missing so acting quickly helps
* If you put the contents of your vacuum cleaner outside cats can smell it from up to a mile away also unwashed clothes, bed sheets, smelly socks and their blanket on your washing line
* When you go searching always take a Torch as that will reflect the cats eyes in dark places. go searching late and early when its quiet, shake treats, call and listen
* Look up Trees/roof tops, empty houses
* Look In hedges, bushes, bramble, ditches
* Under decking and under sheds garages, tarpaulins
* Behind bins and under cars in case injured
* Down any steep embankments, rabbit holes, ponds, drains, water butts
* Gaps In between fences and buildings
* Ask people to leave sheds garages open a while to give a trapped cat time to escape as they wont just run out, they hide in fear
* When searching in bushes etc,get down to cat level as its easier to see them
* Put posters up and leaflet houses
* Check any CCTV and ask neighbors to check also, see if he was picked up or got in a vehicle
* Make sure there is a way for your cat to get back in your house, even when you are asleep, maybe wedge open the cat flap, or leave a window open
* Contact all vets in the area, the local council, local cat rescues and microchip company to let them know in case they have any reports of found cats
