Check house thoroughly. Cats can hide in an unknown hole in the wall behind appliances or up inside a couch or mattress. Check up in trees because they can be chased up one. Check animal control in person and report as missing and take photos with you. Post flyers in Spanish and English around your neighborhood. Look for him/her after dark as cats are most active between midnight and 6:00 a.m. However, go outside anytime after dark, using a flashlight look for "eyes glowing" under and inside of any outbuildings on your property and surrounding properties as well. Look under your home's crawlspace, porches, decks, bushes, trees and nearby woods. Look inside of storm drains and driveway culverts. A lot of cats are found hiding in them. Call kitty's name (softly) listening for a response. If your kitty gets treats, shake a treat bag while calling his name. If all else fails borrow a pet safe humane kitty trap from a local animal rescue group or buy your own at Tractor Supply and try trapping him. These are often very effective. To bait the trap: place a dirty clothing item of owners inside along with water and tuna or sardines. *COVER the trap with dark colored towels or a tarp to keep it dark inside so kitty will enter. *Note: if you do trap your kitty, DO NOT OPEN the trap outside to release him or kitty might bolt. CARRY your trapped kitty indoors (inside of the trap) and release him in the safety of your home. Place a night camera on your yard to see if kitty is showing up after dark. A trail cam is an excellent idea. Also, place a camera on the trap if possible synced to your cell phone so you will know when kitty gets trapped. Check with neighbors close by and animal shelter daily. Also, ask your mail carrier to be on the lookout for your kitty. Hopefully, you can locate kitty shortly on your own. If you don't find kitty, contact a Pet Tracker. Sharing from Charlotte. Post flyers because everyone is not on social media. Post on Nextdoor. Hire a tracker.
