Shared. TWO days is a long time to a cat,. THIS is longer. IF you have NOT YET done all these things do them ASAP Notify Toronto 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. Alert local feral cat feeders who may spot him searching for food. Remember that cats are active at dawn and dusk and sleep during the day. In case he may still come around or be nearby leave some food and water in hidden places near the door he left tonight and check in the morning. NOW and in the morning carefully check all dark, shaded areas nearby, check under bushes, shrubs and trees and places where he 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 he could be hiding or might be trapped. Thump the hoods and fenders of local parked cars in case he is hiding in a wheel well or engine compartment. Ask nearby (10 block radius) neighbours to do the same and to check their porches, garages and yards where he 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.
