  I am so sorry for the pain you are going through.

  Any sightings?

  Is he microchipped? If he is chipped, make sure to contact the chip company to report him lost.

  Ensure you call the Seattle Animal Shelter lost/found line DAILY – 206-386-7387 and go in person and fill out the forms, and look in person, check all the cages each time you go. Only you know your cat!

  Also, inform wherever you adopted him from as they can get the word out further.

  Some advice: Put his dirty litter outside, the smell will travel and help guide him if he needs it. Also, put an article of your clothing out. With the coyotes and other critters, food is not recommended. Does your cat have a way to get inside if he does come back? If not, make sure there is a safe place to hang out.
  Bug your neighbors, knock on doors and ask to PERSONALLY check sheds, garages, out buildings, etc. (it is your cat, you care much more than your neighbors and they may say they will look around but…) a scared cat can get into some very tiny spaces. When you search, use the voice or noises you use inside, keep the fear out of your voice. Walk, call, wait (quietly), repeat and then walk back the same way you came calling again. Too many feet make too much noise so if people are helping, send in twos on other routes. Check under bushes, look up in trees and on roofs, and again, go slow and stay calm.
  If you require a trap, I can provide one.

  There are also some great tips here for search advice and literature about the behavior of lost kitties, you can go to Missing Pet Partnership’s website: http://www.missingpetpartnership.org

  Sending compassion, and good thoughts. Blessed be, may your kitty return home safely and quickly!

  Did you look at Kitty Harbor? There is a cat there that looks a lot like this cat and fits the physical description too. Check it out as you never know.
