Please EDIT your post to include the cross streets for better assistance. ⚠️ 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 between dusk and early a.m. BUT ANYTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME TO LOOK! ⚠️ ➡️ STAY OUT for as long as you can each time. Search in ALL directions from your home. EXPAND your search area each time. 🐈‍⬛ 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 EVERYTHING. Bring treats, toys, or a friend. ☑️ Pause. Listen a lot. And listen long. 💦 Put out fresh water (and food if appropriate & monitored) 🏠 If possible please leave a way for him to get back inside. ✅️ Hang out his bedding and some of your unwashed items for a scent trail. ✅️ Post on Nextdoor, Pawboost, Petco and the county website. ✅️ Check FB for your immediate neighborhood/area's chat group (s), there may be several. Join and post there. ✅️ Alert local veterinarians too. ➡️ Go door to door. Talk to EVERYONE. Leave a detailed note (or better yet, a flier) on EVERY door. Ask people to check security footage.👀 ✴️ Make BIG BRIGHT POSTERS for your yard and streets so passersby can be on the lookout. 💟 Being outside is key. So please spend as much time as possible out in you yard and that area. P.S. Double check that the microchip has your current information. #blackcat

Indoor only cats don't walk far from home but hide nearby scared. Check crawlspace sheds garages anywhere he could be locked in accidentally. Ask your neighbors to do the same. Put his bed and some of your dirty unwashed laundry outside the scent will help him find the way home if lost. But please NO litter box It attracts predators that would scare him away. Leave access for him to get back inside when it is quiet and he feels safe to do so. Walking the neighborhood knocking on doors most effective in case someone has taken him in. Walk outside at night time and call/talk to him SOFTLY wait and listen if he answers from somewhere and comes out of hiding. Post on NextDoor app also. Hope he's found and home very soon.
