Teresa Rodriguez, Have been there done that also .. I of mine went out and vanished for 2 months and then 1 night I went to open the door about 9pm and there she stood .. she could drink but not eat .. I cleaned her snotty nose and got her to the vet the next morning for antibiotics and many steam showers to break up the mucus so she could breathe and after many small meals she gained her weight back and recovered .. maybe he was chased by another stray .. you just don't know .. we have 13 acres and we fenced it all to keep the horses and cats safe as there were many loose and roaming dogs in the area .. as our cats were not afraid of dogs with them growing up together .. hope Shadow is found soon!

Dianne Banton shadow is an outdoor-indoor cat. I strongly opposed him being outdoor but my siblings would let him out when i wasnt home. Since he was a baby hes been veey smart and always knew where home is. Ive been so worried that he hasn't returned. He wasnt supposed to be out. His vetenarian told him to keep him indoor so i advised everyone home to do so. My little brother would be up while we were sleeping so he opened the door and let him out. I didnt think much of it cause i knew he would come back but this had been the longest hes been away from home😣

Teresa Rodriguez, You are very welcome! If Shadow is a inside cat most will return to where they got out if possible put your other cat in another room and leave the door or window slightly open .. keep the lights out or low .. those hand held spot lights work great and don't leave food out after dark as it only attracts other strays and wildlife to the area.. Hope there is something that is useful in helping get Shadow back home safe soon!

Talk softly when calling late night and during the night to early morning when it quite out .. Might wait in between to see if you hear them meow nearby .... For indoor cats if there is any way you could leave your door garage door or window slightly ajar if possible they know where they got out and will often come back in on their own .. If you didn't see them get out check deep dresser drawers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, under beds in box springs, behind the frig, the stove, behind or under the sofa, under or in the recliner the washer/dryer or inside if left open .. basement crawl space .. attic .. anywhere small or behind a cat can hide they will! If out cats will hide during the day and are more active late evening near dark to early morning , daybreak ... have a spot light to shine to see eyes in the dark .. they are usually close by and will often come back to the door .. or hide under bushes or decks to feel safe ! Also check crawl spaces under houses , garages, sheds of neighbors nearby ...No food out after dark it will attract area strays and wildlife to the area ... check culvert pipes .. storm drains .. up trees .. and colder weather they will get under car hoods for warmth and on tires also ...this can happen and they could be miles from home . Cats in a new home need at least 30 days to adjust to a new area and may and will travel to get back to their old home .. In some cases a set trap may be needed and monitored! A Trail cam or night vision goggles can help to monitor the areas outside! Post to Nextdoor Ask neighbors to check their Ring Doorbells... Beware of loose and roaming dogs in the area as they will chase and your cats! For automatic garage doors please place a 6x6 block or cinder block so that the door will not come all the way down and trap your pet as they can be injured! Check with area Shelters, Animal Control, and Vets offices also put flyers ... Am sure you have tried most all of these! Don't give up!!
