The kitty is probably hiding close to home and scared. Call the kitty’s name softly morning noon and night. Late at night. Rattle a treats bag. Put out toys and food and water. Rig up a cat shelter - place articles of clothing and blankets that smell like home in the shelter. Posters work. Make posters and put them up everywhere with your phone number visibly on the poster. Ask for sightings. Don’t give up.

A good list of things to do is on the Toronto Humane Society website, as well as www.catsinthebag.org Get signs up and file a lost report with Toronto Animal Services and local shelters (and keep checking their listings). Make sure your microchip info is up to date with the company too. Post on Neighbourhood groups, and be sure to also do a post on the fb group Toronto Lost and Found Cats

You may have done some of these actions but there may be something new here… Hoping you find this puss😕❤️ Go out looking for her/him at night when it’s quiet. Call and listen! for them to call back. Go down laneways etc too - they could be trapped in a garage, injured & hiding, scared… Knock on doors & talk to people on the street - they may know of her/him - someone may have taken them in. File a LOST report with Toronto/other Animal Services in case they end up there - continue to check their listings! Continue to call - they won’t necessarily call you. Also, check their ‘deceased animals’ listings 🥲 Consider setting a well-monitored live trap in your yard. He may be too scared to come out but may be able to be trapped. You may catch other critters that will need to be released. Don’t give up on her/him .🥰

Shared. TWO days is a long time to a cat,. THIS is MUCH longer. IF you have NOT YET done all these things do them ASAP Notify Vaughan 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. Alert local feral cat feeders who may spot her searching for food. Remember that cats are active at dawn and dusk and sleep during the day. In case she may still come around or be nearby 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 hiding in a wheel well or engine compartment. Ask nearby (5-10 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 5-10 block radius, include outbuildings and construction sites. Put a notice in nearby (within a 5-10 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 5-10 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.
