PLEASE EDIT the top of your post to include the cross streets. Sandy Blvd covers a great deal of ground. More specific details about the location is needed to get the help others can provide. That being said... Once you've confirmed he's not hiding deep inside somewhere... ⚠️ Time is of the essence so getting outside ASAP is crucial.(Seriously. Like now.) ➡️ Go out OFTEN, several times, at various times of day. 🌙 Especially during the quiet hours late at night. Cats often venture out between dusk and dawn/early morning. 🔶️ BUT ANYTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME TO LOOK! ❗️ ➡️ STAY OUT for as long as you can each time. Search in ALL directions outward, in a radius, from your home. EXPAND your search area each time, rechecking the areas as you go along. 🐈 Calmly call for or talk to him; so he doesn't hear the anxiety in your voice and stay hidden. 🟡 Use a flashlight to check for eye shine. ↪️ Look under and inside EVERYTHING. Under decks, in sheds or garages,etc. 🍤 Bring treats, tuna, toys, or a friend. 🗣 Record any other pet or favorite family to play while you search. ☑️ Pause. Listen a lot. And listen long. ❇️ Make easy to read flyers to hand out to your neighbors and area businesses, etc. 🏘 Go door to door. Talk to EVERYONE. Leave a flyer with them and on EVERY door. Be sure to ask them to check security footage. 👀 ✴️ Make BIG BRIGHT posters with a large photo and easy to read. Keep it simple and straight to the point. Use bold print for key points. (Passersby may only have a chance to glance at it.) ✴️ Put posters in your yard and several around your area.(Remember their locations to remove, for after he's home.) 💦 Put out water near home(and food only if monitored) 🚫 But please avoid setting out a litterbox, as they tend to attract predators and other unwelcome visitors that may deter kitty's desire to come near. 🐾️ Hang out his bedding and some of your unwashed items for a scent trail. 🐾 Create a trail with cut up (dirty towel) pieces low to the ground (in bushes works best) leading towards home. ✅️ Post on Nextdoor, Pawboost, Petco, Craigslist, and the county website. ✅️ Check Facebook for your neighborhood/area's chat group (s), there may be several. Join and post there. ⚠️ Be scammer savvy. ✅️ Alert local veterinarians and pet related establishments nearby. 💟 Being outside is key. So please spend as much time as possible out in you yard and that area. 🏠 If possible, please leave a way for him to get back inside. P.S. Double check that the microchip has your current information. ✔️Carefully consider and research the use of a live trap. 😽 Don't give up. Recently a kitty was found & reunited 44 days later! Prayers for your kitty's safe return.🐈‍⬛ #tabbycat #graytabby

Most indoor cats will stay very close to home, but they will go into hiding because they go into survival mode, especially during the day. If it’s at all possible for you to put some recently worn clothing, bedding, a cat tree, if your cat has one near a open door window or garage where the cat will have access to return home, they usually will do it between midnight and 3 AM in the morning. Do not put a litter box out because that will attract other predators such as coyotes, raccoons, skunks, etc. keeping your cat in hiding. That’s why they bury their pee and poop even when outside or in their litter box to hide their scent .At night time, you can also take a flashlight looking under cars in trees and bushes Taking with you a bag of treats if your cat is treat motivated, calling its name softly staying low to the ground, shaking the bag and using the flashlight to possibly light up your cats eyes. (even if you’re a cat hears you calling them they may not respond because again they are in survival mode and may not want to give away their hiding spot )Sometimes they can stay in hiding for days so don’t give up. Hope these tips help and that you’re beautiful. Cat returns home safely and soon🙏🐈‍⬛❤️ don’t give up sometimes they can stay in hiding for over a week until they get really hungry, especially when a lot of commotion is going on during the daytime. also if there’s been any recent rain your kitty may stay in hiding even longer so like I said, just don’t give up. It just may take a while.. Also check your local shelters in person they don’t always post their intake cats on their websites
