If this is an indoor only cat that never goes out, look close. Indoor only cats when lost get
scared and hide because it is unknown territory and usually do not come out when you call.
Usually are within 3 or 4 houses . Put out
something with your scent such as a piece of clothing or blanket. Call at dusk, dawn and night and shake the treats.
Get in your neighbour's yards and look under decks, sheds, in trees, bushes or anywhere they can hide.
Put up lots of posters.
If you are searching at night, use a flashlight as their eyes glow in the dark. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=388310901737884Read More
Shared. Note that two days is a long time to a cat so you have no time to waste. If you have not yet done all these things do so ASAP, if you have do them again and go further in your search. Notify Toronto Animal Services and check their website for found cats. Carefully check around your home and property, focusing on small, hidden spots like closets, dresser drawers and hidden nooks and crannies, as cats often hide nearby when scared. 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. Cats will usually stay near the door they left for a day or two before searching for food. Leave his used litter and some food and water in hidden places near the door he left NOW and check tonight. Note that intact male cats can travel long distances in search of females in heat and have trouble finding their way home. Advise local feral cat feeders who may spot him searching for food. 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.Read More
