Place a humane trap (buy at home depot, or rent from Humane Animal Rescue in the North Side or from someone on fb)) on porch or in yard if no porch, or near any sightings. Put a piece of your unwashed laundry & smelly food inside. You need to check the trap frequently, even overnight, especially in hot or cold weather. (Unless you have a camera in the trap or some other way to monitor it. Animals can injure themselves trying to get out of cages, & are also very vulnerable to predators). Also you can put cardboard over the wire bottom (but not on the trip plate).Tell your neighbors he is lost & to keep an eye out for him & not to chase if he's skittish. Post on Pawboost & put up laminated flyers. Search everywhere, under porches, in sheds, in bushes, near home for him. Indoor cats are scared & rarely go far. Look especially at night when his eyes shine. Also check your porch very early in the morning. I've heard many stories of people finding their cat sitting on the porch in the wee morning hours. And leave a door or window open (preferably door) if you can. Many cats have just walked back into their house. Call all shelters & Animal Control. Visit animal shelters in person every few days. Shelter workers often mistakenly do not realize the pet is there. I cannot stress enough how important getting & using a humane trap is. Please do not listen to well-meaning people who say they do not work. Shared & Prayers. http://www.3retrievers.com/humane-trap-guidelines.html

Very important! If your cat is microchipped PLEASE double check to make sure the microchip is REGISTERED and up to date with your current information and telephone number incase someone finds your cat and takes it somewhere to get scanned so that they can call you. You should have the chip number in your paperwork from who IMPLANTED the chip in. You will need the BRAND of chip to be able to call them and check to see if it is REGISTERED. If you only have the number and Not the BRAND of chip you can enter it for free on this national website. When you enter the chip number in it will ONLY tell you the BRAND so that you can call them and check to see if it is REGISTERED and up to date with your current information and telephone number. https://www.aaha.org/for-veterinary-professionals/microchip-search/
