Please keep him inside. So many dangers outside for cats.

Make sure to check trees and inside/under things at night w/ a flashlight (eyes will glow). Make sure to check w/ neighbors and animal control weekly. Cats usually stay close to home, usually on the same block. Here is a FB video from animal control in Sacremento, CA and it has wonderful search tips. https://www.facebook.com/FrontStreetAnimalShelter/videos/388310901737884

I'm so sorry about your baby.🥺💔 Most cats stay close to home so it is critical to be as proactive as possible. Check everywhere outside even in drain pipes and drains, in logs, under bushes and cars and up in trees. Use a flashlight after dark as it will make your cat's eyes glow. Check under your house and your neighbor's houses, in sheds, garages, bats, etc. 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 (this ensures if the cat was chased away it can sneak back in when it can since most cats return at night when you're sleeping so you miss them). Work with a cat rescue to immediately set a cat trap or you can purchase one at Tractor Supply or order one or more on Amazon and set them yourself. You will need to monitor the trap(s). Print some flyers for neighbors and businesses in the area. Put posters in public areas, like on street signs and in your front yard, and offer some type of reward, if you can. Put the reward amount on the flyers and posters. A reward will incite people to intentionally be on the lookout for your cat or to return it to you. Also post on the Ring app, Nextdoor app and Pawboost and visit pet rescues/shelters in person regularly to see if someone has found your cat and has taken it to one. Give them a flyer and report your cat as missing. Please read this article for both indoor-only and outdoor-access lost cats: https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/
