Shared. TWO days is a long time to aq cat so if you have not yet done ALL these things do them ASAP. Notify Markham Animal Services and check their website for found cats. Also notify nearby vet offices, rescues, shelters (e.g. SPCA/Humane Society) and the microchip company if she's chipped. Remember that cats are active at dawn and dusk and sleep during the day. Cats usually stay near the door they left for a day or two before wandering for food. Leave her used litter and some food and water in hidden places near that door. Carefully check all dark, shaded areas nearby, check under bushes, shrubs and trees and places where she can shelter from wind, cold/heat and rain. Check under decks, in window wells and dark corners of nearby porches, yards, garages, sheds and stairwells where she could be hiding or might be trapped. Thump the hoods and fenders of local parked cars in case she is SHeltering in a wheel well or engine compartment. Ask nearby (5 block radius) neighbours to do the same and to check their porches, garages and yards where she could hide or may be trapped. See Pawboost and check their website for found cats. See Pawboost for more suggestions and sample posters. Post notices in a 5 block radius, include outbuildings and construction sites. Put a notice in nearby (within a 5 block area) neighbours' mailboxes. Post on FB lost and found dogs and cats site and on community and local store notice boards. Go out AFTER dark and bring food and treats. Walk around a 5 block area, stop periodically, semi hide and put the food beside you not in your hand and softly call. Listen carefully but do NOT make any loud noises or sudden moves. Lost cats are terrified and do not recognize their owners as safe.

Go out around 2AM with smelly food or treats and call softly for her. Have neighbors check sheds and garages. Post lots of signs. Also a good idea to stick notes through your neighbour’s door or mailbox for them to check their properties.
