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

shared. TWO DAYS is a long time to cat so you have NO time to waste. I hope you checked every possible cubby hole, dresser, drawer, closet etc. in the house where he could be hiding unless you are positive he left the house and is outside. If so and you have not already done all these things, do them all ASAP. Notify Toronto Animal Services and check their website for found cats. Also notify nearby vet offices, rescues, shelters (e.g. Humane Society) and the microchip company if he's chipped. Alert local feral cat feeders who may spot him searching for food. Cats will usually stay near the door they left for a day or two before wandering for food but they hide daytime. In case he may still be around put his used litter and some food and water near that door overnight RIGHT NOW and check in the morning. Check nearby dark, shaded areas 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. Thump the hoods and fenders of nearby parked cars in case he's hiding a wheel well or engine compartment. Ask neighbours to do the same and to check their sheds, garages and dark corners around their properties where he could be trapped. See Pawboost for more suggestions and sample posters. Post notices in a 5 block radius and include building and construction sites. Put a notice in nearby (5 block radius) neighbours' mailboxes. Post on FB lost and found dogs and cats site and on community and local store notice boards. Walk around a 5 block area AFTER dark, bring food and treats. 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.

Www.catsinthebag.org for great tips for finding lost cats. No time to waste. Put items that smell of home outside to lure the cat home. (ie. Blanket, dirty laundry, cat toys etc.) Put up lots of posters too and get outside with a flashlight late late at night and look under bushes and porches. Good luck!
