Get some of his/her used cat litter ( not all you may need later) put in a safe dry place near house , doorway where it will not get damaged or disturbed, put a blanket he sleeps on or you sleep on , shirt you wear that has not been washed etc out where he has a chance to catch the scent , they can smell a good distance, if have access to a trap large enough for him and can set it put food for him in it........ now.... not being familiar with the outside he’s gonna be really scared and unless he was chased is probably closer than you think ..... they hunker down first safe hole or small area they feel halfway safe in and stay there.... even if you call they too scared to move... take a flashlight look under , over , in between whatever and everything even smallest of places, flashlight will reflect the eyes so look for that..go out late evening ( let neighbors know you will be out looking late so they are not startled call baby gently calmly ..warm smelly food to entice its hunger ....if threatened they may climb very high in a tree so also don’t forget to check them....get signs up immediately... even if handwritten in ziploc gallon bags with the zipper down to protect flyer from rain Etc make sure it can be EASILY READ from the road!! People will not stop to read it.... but if they can easily read from the road or see a picture if they know something they will get out of their car to get the phone number..... if they can’t read it and they do know something you just lost your contact to your baby.... do this quickly....
