It would be good to put a worn piece of clothing on your porch in addition to the piece of clothing I mentioned earlier just inside your garage near the opening. It would also be good to post on neighbor's ring app which covers the 3 Mile radius of your location and alerts people that have the app. In addition, it would be good to focus on a one to two block radius of your location especially at Dawn, dusk in feeding time shaking a bag of cat treats or cat food vigorously to help attract your cat's attention if it's nearby and bring a flashlight with you to help catch a glimpse of its eyes. If it's near. Make sure when you're walking this area that you check trees, shrubbery, window Wells under decks and porches and ask your neighbors to check their shed in garage where cats are often found. Hope to hear good news soon. Good luck!

Flyers are very important. They are best put in a zip gallon bag that is upside down to protect from the elements. It was just recently that both the dog and a cat were reunited by flyers alone since the people that found the animals did not have social media. If you adopted from a rescue, they usually like to know ASAP that a former animal is missing. If your cat has a microchip, it's good to make sure your contact information is up to date so you can be contacted if your cat is found. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so time is of the essence. Make sure your cat is not hiding in the garage in a closet in a dresser, drawer or behind furniture which often happens. I've heard of a few cats returning home the past few years when the owner left their garage open about 5 inches with a worn piece of clothing on the inside of the garage near the opening to help attract the cat if it comes close back to home but not too wide. So you do not attract unwanted animals. It's good if you go check outside on your block around Dawn and dusk with a flashlight looking in shrubbery and under decks and porches to hopefully catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it is close by. Usually cats are scared when they first leave home and might not even respond to you. So the flashlight might come in handy to catch a glimpse of the eyes. It's also good to check your local animal control in person daily because things change very often and best in person. It's also good to check local rescues and shelters in your area daily. Hoping for a quick and safe return.....

If this helps , these tips tend to work if you are proactive and patient and persistent-kitty is probably frightened and close to home be patient and persistent-it could take days to weeks for kitty to find way home

Put out a personal piece of clothing or blanket with your scent on it so he can smell it like dirty socks or even a can of tuna to entice him back bring in at night put out his used litter box outside they can smell it for a long distance bring in at night go searching once it starts getting dark use a flashlight cats eyes glare check with neighbors yards and garages 💙💙💙
