If he is an indoor only cat, or new to an area, he is hiding very nearby where he was last seen. The good news is indoor cats are always found you just need to look everywhere! Look with a flashlight even during the day. Put out dirty laundry and other familiar scents outside ASAP with food and water and bedding. Litter box if no coyotes in the area. Look under bushes, decks, porches and cars with a flashlight even during the day . Look for him anywhere he could hunker down and hide in or under. Put flyers on neighbors porches asking them to check their property throughly for anywhere he could be hiding in case he slipped out of your yard. Look inside sheds and garages too. Post on Nextdoor and file a lost report with the shelter . Hope you find your kitty soon . Just don’t stop looking everywhere .
Our daughters cat slipped out of her house and hid almost two weeks until we saw her on security cameras. Every time she opened the door her cat would flee! We finally set a humane cat trap near her litter box and and monitored it from a distance with a security camera and caught her within a few hours. So leave the porch light on and put out some tuna or smelly cat food where you can monitor from a distance. If he continues to hide, set the trap in the early morning hours picking up all outside food. Do not leave food out at night. You will find him , just don’t stop looking. Hope you find your sweet kitty soon. If he is microchipped, file a lost report with the microchip company too and make sure contact info is current
