I'm so sorry about your baby.🥺💔 Don't give up hope. It takes time and perseverance to locate a lost cat. Most cats stay close to home or near to where they were lost so it is critical to be as proactive as possible. Check everywhere outside even in drain pipes and drains and up in trees. Check under your neighbor's houses, in their sheds, garages, etc. Use a flashlight after dark as it will make your cat's eyes glow. If an indoor-only cat, just know they typically do not recognize their owners outside because it is a different environment and they are scared. Sit outside every single day especially in the morning and at dusk/night so your cat can get used to you being there. Put dry food in a plastic container with a lid and periodically shake it and call your cat's name. Crack your garage door or leave a porch door open so it can get inside. Work with a cat rescue to immediately set a cat trap or you can order one or more on Amazon and set them yourself. You will need to check the trap(s) every morning and evening. Print some flyers for neighbors and businesses in the area. Put some in public areas and offer some type of reward, if you can. A reward will incite people to intentionally be on the lookout for your cat or to return it to you. Please read this article for both indoor-only and outdoor-access lost cats:
