If he is an indoor only cat, or new to an area outside the gate he is hiding very nearby where he got out. Cats don’t run away so he is hunkered down hiding nearby. The good news is indoor cats are almost 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 water and bedding. Look quietly under bushes, decks, porches and cars with a flashlight even during the day . lol along walks and fence lines. 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 and to check security cameras. Look inside sheds and garages too. Post on Nextdoor and file a lost report with the shelter . Hope you find your cute 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 porch and and monitored it from a distance with a security camera and caught her within a few hours. So leave the porch light. If he continues to hide, set the trap in the early morning hours. Do not leave food out at all! Hoping you will find him , just don’t stop looking. If he is microchipped, file a lost report with the microchip company too and make sure contact info is current
