From a rescuer; if you’re willing to do the work, I’ll tell you how you can try to get your cat back. first you have to do a feeding station with a camera and spray some liquid smoke. You can buy the liquid smoke at Food Lion or any grocery store get you a spray bottle also I would get about 10 bottles of liquid smoke. then put the camera out somewhere near the house but not right up against it. I would say maybe in the backyard maybe if you’ve got the edge of some Woods and the camera needs to be able to come back to your phone so it needs to send pictures back to your phone. put smelly cat food and you can use dry food because you’re using the liquid smoke which is gonna bring the cat to that feeding station. That’s kind of like you’re grilling outside and if you do that and the cat comes to the camera, then you’ll probably gonna have to trap it so you’ll need to get a trap. Let me know if you have any questions

Also if maintenance people were there, he could have gotten into a vehicle…

You may have done all or most of these but maybe there is a hint for something else to do. Look everywhere inside, outside, in, behind and under bushes, decks, porches, culverts, window wells and sheds. If there have been any maintenance people in home, look in areas they might have been around in case the cat was closed in that area (walls, heating & air ducts, open floors, attics, basements/cellars/crawl spaces). Call, knock and listen for a response. In sheds, move stuff around, away from walls and especially corners as well as use a flashlight to look under shed. Also look up as there could be a spot to roost. Use a flashlight to look for eyeshine night and day inside sheds, decks, bushes, culverts and under anything even if you think it is bright enough. Make flyers and take around for several blocks in all directions. If no one is home, leave a flyer in the door or mailbox. If neighbors are home, ask if you can look around their property and ask if they have seen the kitty or if they have to contact you. Put out some cat food to try and draw towards the house. Put out some of your clothing, a cat bed or even a cat tree from the house if it is a small one. Saw a post where someone did that and they came out the next day and found the cat in it.. Contact all vets in the area, the SPCA(s) for your area and Animal Control. Hope your beautiful kitty comes home from the adventure soon. Maybe this will help.
