Try leaving a litter box he has used recently near your house, as well as large humane live traps baited with mackeral or tuna or other smelly food. Search in neighbors' garages, sheds and under cars and decks. Use a flashlight to search for eyes at night. If he has a kitty friend (one of your own), try putting that kitty in a carrier outside, with you keeping an eye on it, of course. Asking neighbor children for help and a reward if found or spotted can be your best bet! Be sure you offer a reward on any flyer you hand out, and with pictures of your boy, too.

One idea that I have heard that works is setting a live humane trap (usually animal shelters rent them out) like Pam said with really smelly food that they love… Also the person who had a bengal that escaped also put in a worn piece of clothing that they wore. I believe the person said that their bengal loved her husbands boxers, so she put that in there lol. But I saw you just got your kitty. If he was scared of you or still adjusting to you.. I might not put a piece of clothing in there. He might not go in because he might not trust the smell. Also cover the trap so it looks like a den or a cave, not a cage. I really hope you find him…

You might also do a Craigslist posting, in both the Lost and Found section as well as the Pets sections...be sure to add pics of him, his last known location, and again, offer a reward.

He isnt chiped i wish he was. I think he would only come to me if anyone at all he decided i was his human lol. Im really hoping he is under my neighbors deck and unforunatley i cant look for him again until i get off work until 10 which might be a good thing cuz it should be quiet.
