Hi there I’m a volunteer with a local cat rescue . I don’t have your cat. I have not seen your cat but I did see your posts online. If you want, some guidance or advice on what to do, please message me Typically what we tell people if this : Do not offer a reward you’re gonna get so many scams it’s not necessary. People can send you a AI photos and AI videos. Anybody asking for money before they actually do a live video chat to show you the cat is scamming you FIRST FEW DAYS male or female, lost cat 1- do not put food or litter outside because it will attract wild life or other cats, and it will scare her or him out of the area. She's gonna be too stressed to eat for a few days anyway Don’t leave any of her things outside because again you’re gonna attract other cats to her smell. You can leave some of your things outside. Use blankets,, used T-shirt, dirty socks, etc.. 2- LEAVE YOUR DOORS OPEN. She's MOST LIKELY GOING TO TRY AND COME BACK ON her or HIS OWN, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN IT’S VERY QUIET CONSIDER LEAVING DOORS OPEN 3- sit outside in the middle of the night when it’s very dark and talk to him or her a lot of cats are too scared to approach their owners but if he is brave enough, she might do it if you see her do not approach her just keep sitting down and have her come all the way up to you This could take 15 or 20 minutes 4- you need to set up some cameras around your property so you can see if she's circling around at night especially if you’re not gonna leave your doors open for her Can you get some Wi-Fi cameras or something immediately today, make sure you put microSD cards in them so they record motion so that you’re not having to watch them live 24 seven 5- talk to all your neighbours that have security cameras give them a piece of paper with your phone number and her description , ask them to check their cams esp over night 6- talk to all your neighbours that have a deck you can go on Google satellite view and check if they have a deck in the backyard and if they do ask them to go, to look for your cat. When you walk around or search a yard and start calling him in a happy voice, because he doesn’t know your foot steps from a predator so lead with your voice, and always bring a strong flashlight and some treats with you. If you do see him underneath the deck, barricade it with some thing and bring a carrier and then go back and try and have him come up to you. If he will not, then you might need to get a humane trap or borrow one, but most likely he’s going to try and come back on his own. 7- Keep calling him from the house don’t call him from all over the neighbourhood you’re gonna confuse him which way to go Missing Cats don’t go far he’s not gonna be across town he’s gonna be probably within 5-7 houses radius . Very very close

Roz Klaiman Thanks, Roz. The person I talked to at Pet Place that has the microchip registry, to mark him as a lost pet, said to not put food as it can attract other animals that can scare him even more (raccoons, other cats etc.)

Shared. NOTE that TWO DAYS is a long time to a cat, this is MUCH longer. If you have not yet done ALL these things, do them now. If you have, do them again and go further in your search. Notify Markham Animal Services and check their website for found cats. IF he's an intact male he may have chased females in heatt males and have trouble finding his way back home. If he was injured he may be hiding. Search all nearby shrubs, bushes and trees, window wells, garages and sheds. Ask nearby neighbours to do the same. Alert local vet offices, rescues and shelters. Alert local feral cat feeders who may spot him searching for food. Leave his used used litter and some food and water in hidden places near the door he left NOW and check very this evening and in the early morning. See Pawboost for more ways to find and sample posters. Put a notice in nearby neighbours mailboxes, post on local notices boards, in community centres, churches and schools. Go out after dark bring food and treats, search a 5+ block radius, stop periodically and softly call but do not make any loud noises or sudden moves. Lost cats are terrified and do not recognize their owner as safe.

- [ ] 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. Check Toronto Animal Services lost and found and strays. Report your cat missing and send a photo
