Put some of your worn clothes & empty contents of vacuum outside for smell. Leave Kitty’s food & water out. Go out at night with a flashlight & check under decks, porches, cars, up trees, bushes, window wells, in & around garages for Glowing Eyes! Check Ring Cams & neighbors for blocks! They generally stay close by! Call PD & let them know he’s missing & check shelters! The more people looking the better & don’t give up🙏

Also make sure your cat is really missing. There have been five people in a 2-week Time frame where people thought their cat was missing and they were all later found in the house, including one that was found 3 days later in the cabinet that was hardly used. Make sure you check behind furniture under furniture, dresser, drawers, closets, cabinets, etc. Several months ago my cat seemed to disappear for 24 hours. I'm very careful and I couldn't figure out what happened to him since I take many precautions to prevent them getting out. I was very stressed and I couldn't find him. He disappeared after my granddaughter came over and he usually comes out later but he didn't when she left. He ignored his supper that night and breakfast the next day so I was really worried. I moved all the furniture I could and cannot find him but then my daughter and her husband came over later at dinner time that day 24 hours after I last seen him and I was losing hope when my son-in-law was moving all the furniture and he was not there. However, when my son-in-law went to move the last piece of furniture that was above his head that I could not move all the sudden my cat came running out and hiding under my bed. He surely must have been scared to hide for 24 hours. They can be little stinkers and little Houdini's

A worn piece of clothing often works well on your porch in addition to the piece in the garage like I commented on previously. It would also be good to post on neighbor's ring app which covers a three plus smile radius of your location and alerts people that have the app. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so it would be especially good to focus on a block or two radius of your home, especially at Dawn dusk and feeding time. Shaking a bag of cat trees or cat food vigorously to help attract your cat's attention if it's nearby, and also bring a flashlight with you to help catch the glimpse of its eyes if it's near. While you're in this area, make sure you also check trees shrubbery window wells, especially under decks and porches where cats are often found and ask your neighbors to check their shed and garage where cats are all so often found. I hope your cat is safe and will be soon back home. Good luck!

Flyers are very important. They are best put in a zip gallon bag that is upside down to protect from the elements. It was just recently that both the dog and a cat were reunited by flyers alone since the people that found the animals did not have social media. If you adopted from a rescue, they usually like to know ASAP that a former animal is missing. If your cat has a microchip, it's good to make sure your contact information is up to date so you can be contacted if your cat is found. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so time is of the essence. Make sure your cat is not hiding in the garage in a closet in a dresser, drawer or behind furniture which often happens. I've heard of a few cats returning home the past few years when the owner left their garage open about 5 inches with a worn piece of clothing on the inside of the garage near the opening to help attract the cat if it comes close back to home but not too wide. So you do not attract unwanted animals. It's good if you go check outside on your block around Dawn and dusk with a flashlight looking in shrubbery and under decks and porches to hopefully catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it is close by. Usually cats are scared when they first leave home and might not even respond to you. So the flashlight might come in handy to catch a glimpse of the eyes. It's also good to check your local animal control in person daily because things change very often and best in person. It's also good to check local rescues and shelters in your area daily. Hoping for a quick and safe return.....
