Not a great area for a little one to be roaming. Definitely ask folks!

He is likely still very close by hiding! Do you have any cameras you can put out to see if he is coming out late at night? Let all your neighbors know and put up flyers (leave a physical flyer with all your neighbors) so they can report if they see a kitten. Once he is spotted, you can concentrate looking in that area. You can also leave a camera and trap tied open with food to see if he is coming to eat in the trap. Once you spot him on camera eating in the trap, you can plan to actually set the trap (just make sure to monitor the trap, don't ever leave it unattended while it's set).

Update: I’ve been walking around for 4 hours around different blocks no luck. Also additional info he is wearing a black collar with 1 singular bell on it no tag unfortunately. 😢 thanks for all the help

For Maui's people: Please read the advice shared on the Missing Animal Response Network. They have a page specific to lost cat behavior. https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/ Next, If you have not already, visit neighboring homes (don't rely upon their reading a post), ask them to look into their garages and outbuildings, checking multiple times while sitting patiently, and quietly. Cats get scared when in strange places and won't necessarily bolt for the door when it is opened, and might not even run to a familiar person if they happen to be present. Check every logical and illogical place your cat may have gotten into on your property, to name just a couple: cabinets/drawers — high and low; in garages/basements/sheds. Don’t forget to check in with local vets and animal shelters. Some have had success with placing a humane trap in their backyard - luring kitty in with a serving of their regular food; also with leaving clothing/blankets with your and/or their scent. Finally, for any reading this, please keep a bowl of water (ideally freshened every 2-3 days) in your garages/outbuildings for those instances when a neighborhood critter happens to find themselves trapped. Good luck, I hope to read a positive update on Maui soon!
