Hi, there may be some tips in these;

Hi. There stands a good chance that he is hiding out somewhere in the area - under a deck, in a neighbor's backyard, etc. You probably really do need to help in the search since Fred knows you better. Use all the tips in the above articles and make sure first and foremost all surrounding neighbors are told, and even ask to access their backyards should he be hiding out there.

There is a possibility that he could try to find his way back to your house, so keep that in mind when you solicit help in searching for him.

How far away are you? Can he make it back to your house? This is not unknown to happen with cats who want to return home...and it does not mean that you have to live just a block away.

I agree that you need to help search if possible.

They should set a humane trap and monitor it constantly from a far. If he is that frightened he will hide and run from them. Also set up cameras to monitor activity. Leave the screen where he escaped open so he can go back in, although I doubt he will. They should leave food for him so he doesnt leave looking for food but that’s also dangerous since it will attract other animals. I would start with the humane trap.

Fred may very well be headed back to your house. Cats have been known to travel over 1000 miles to reach their former homes.

Sending prayers and vibes for the safe recovery of Fred! You must be so worried - maybe try sending mental vibes to Fred. I would go to their house and try to put some of your "scent-soakers" in the area as well as to try calling; an old t-shirt, used pillowcase or washcloths can work, pretty much anything that has a strong scent,You can have them record your voice to play intermittently.
