Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a basement window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck.

Tips for finding your cat. This is how I recently helped my friend find her lost cat. Please try doing these things, ESPECIALLY walking around in late evening and/or early morning and calmly calling him, then stopping periodically to listen for his reply/meow. Cover the same area over and over, EVERY day. (I've read they rarely travel more than 500 feet from home.) Go out at dusk & walk around & calmly call him. Cats can become fearful outdoors, even of their owners. If he gets treats, take a box & shake it gently. IMPORTANT--- Walk, call, then listen to see if you hear him meow. Take a flashlight & shine it under every nearby car, bush, etc. looking for eyes reflecting. Put blankets or clothing with your scent on your porch or patio. Ask neighbors to make sure he didn't get shut inside a shed, garage, etc. Put posters w/ his photo & your number at every nearby stop sign & red-light & give 1 to your mail carrier. Give his photo & your number to any regular walkers or joggers. This is how my friend's cat was found, a jogger saw him. If none of this works see if someone can loan you a small humane trap & set it up w/ food & check it often. Praying he makes it back home soon! 🙏 This takes some time, effort & a little money but it's totally worth it. ❤️
