Get a humane trap (buy at home depot or Pet store if they have the correct size available, or rent from Humane Animal Rescue in the North Side or from someone on fb)) in yard if you think he's still in the area, OR NEAR ANY SIGHTINGS once there is a sighting. Put a piece of your unwashed laundry & smelly food inside. You need to check the trap frequently every hour, even overnight, especially in hot or cold weather. Animals can injure themselves trying to get out of cages, & are also very vulnerable to predators. Also you can put cardboard over the wire bottom (but not on the trip plate).Tell your neighbors he is lost & to keep an eye out for him & not to chase if he's skittish. Visit shelters IN PERSON every few days. Shelter workers often mistakenly say the pet is not there. Post on Pawboost & put up laminated flyers. Search everywhere, under porches, in sheds, in bushes, near home for him. Call all shelters & Animal Control. I cannot stress enough how important getting & using a humane trap is. Please do not listen to well-meaning people who say they do not work. Shared & Prayers. http://www.3retrievers.com/humane-trap-guidelines.html

Some time ago, my young cat snuck out late. I called him and put out a trap, but he didn't come. In the morning, I went out and made cat sounds like he does because he doesn't meow. I then heard him respond and found him hunkered down beside the air conditioner. He must have been very scared all night. He was only about 20-25 feet from my back door. I copied the following messages from other people giving advice on finding lost cats. If Indoor Fixed Kitties: Indoor fixed kitties rarely go far and are usually found hiding scared nearby. Look under everything...porches, decks, sheds, cars, bushes, etc. Look at night and into the wee hours of the morning with a flashlight to see eyes glowing. Ask/tell neighbors. Flyers = sightings. Consider using a humane trap ASAP. Please no litter box outside because it can attract predators and potentially keep your kitty from returning. Prayers for a safe return. If you're able you can also try leaving a door, garage door or window cracked open to let kitty come back in. A video doorbell or trail camera can be helpful to see if kitty is coming around when you're sleeping. Honestly - the magic time is 11pm-6am in spring/summer (8pm-6am in fall/winter) - when no humans are outside. That is when they feel comfortable coming out of hiding. Sit on steps/porch by where cat escaped - talk softly. Let cat come to you. Avoid eye contact. Lost pets will not act "normally" - they are in survival mode.

I just want to share this with you. My cat Snoopy got out on a Friday night and I immediately set a trap. On Sunday, I bought a second trap. I checked the two traps after 6 am Monday morning. No luck. Monday night for the first time, I left the garage door open slightly enough for my cat Snoopy to get in and I left the cellar door open. I left the lights off in the garage and cellar, except for a light in a separate room. I put 2 blankets by the garage door entrance that Snoopy slept on. I kept all my other cats upstairs. After checking the traps with no luck, I went downstairs and I heard something and then found Snoopy in the cellar. My other cats went down to greet him. I am so grateful that Snoopy is home.

Kitty may not come when called when lost outside. Some will, some won't. Is kitty fixed also?? If so...probably hiding scared under something nearby or stuck in a garage or shed. Go outside any time right now and into the wee hours of the morning with a flashlight and look under things to see eyes glowing.

I'll go outside right at dusk with your flashlight to see if you can see any eyes shining and shake a treat can ,box or bag. Cats who have never been outside generally are within five houses on either side. You already have it on pawboost and here. I will put it on my Nextdoor app. Good luck and I hope you find him 💙 anything to get a lot of eyes on the cat if anyone sees him

Very important! If your cat/dog is microchipped PLEASE double check to make sure the microchip is REGISTERED and up to date with your current information and telephone number incase someone finds your cat/dog and takes it somewhere to get scanned so that they can call you. You should have the chip number in your paperwork from who IMPLANTED the chip in. You will need the BRAND of chip to be able to call them and check to see if it is REGISTERED and up to date. If you only have the number and Not the BRAND of chip you can enter it for free on this national website. When you enter the chip number in it will ONLY tell you the BRAND of chip so that you can call them and check to see if it is REGISTERED and up to date with your current information and telephone number. https://www.aaha.org/for-veterinary-professionals/microchip-search/
