Missing cat in Dorchester

My friends cat went missing this morning (Nov 18th) likely around 6 am on Corona st in Dorchester. We believe he got outside after following someone in the house out. He has never been outside before while not in a carrier. He is typically very friendly to people and other cats and docile but not sure how he will act while being lost and scared. He does not like being picked up though. He is quite large for a cat (this pic is from when he was a kitten so he is bigger now) and his ears/whiskers and tail look somewhat similar to main coon’s ears. We have placed some food and his litterbox outside but as of tonight (8pm Nov 18th) still no sight of him. If anyone has any information or sees him please message me 🫶🏾
