Oh he’s so handsome! I’m praying he’s found safe, secured, and very soon! He’s most likely nearby, but will come out at night when it’s quiet. That’s the time to look for him. Shake his treats, calling his name and hopefully you should get him back! 💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏

Put together by a Toronto rescue but tips apply everywhere. Time is of the essence so please act now. If you’ve lost or found a cat in Toronto please do the following: 1. Thoroughly check your house. The cat may be hiding under furniture or in a closet due to fright. 2. Start looking immediately. Lost cats are usually found within 50 yards of their home. 3. Ask neighbours if you can look for the cat on their property - under decks, etc. 4. Thoroughly search your neighbourhood. The cat is probably hiding close to home and afraid. Cats usually stay near or return to the door they left for a day or two before they wander for food but remember that cats are nocturnal and hide during the daytime. 5. Rent or borrow a live animal trap. Place it near an entrance to your home and bait it with smelly cat food. 6. Persist - keep monitoring the websites suggested below. Cat sometimes can be found in shelters months after they were lost. 7. File a report with Toronto Animal Services - https://www.toronto.ca/data/mls/animals/strayanimals.html and check it daily. 8. Check www.catsinthebag.org and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2eCoC63B9I for tips on finding a lost cat. 9. Create/Search listings on http://www.helpinglostpets.com/ 10. Post/Search on https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto 11. Check Pet Find Toronto: https://www.facebook.com/SearchSpecialists 12. Check Pawboost: https://www.pawboost.com/ - for suggestions and sample posters. 13. Do not use Instagram Pet Search. There are reported scammers who will take a fee, do nothing, and block you. 14. Get colour posters made and put them up immediately in a 5-10 block radius of your home. Include building and construction sites, and have your phone number visibly on the poster. Post them on community and local store notice boards. 15. Walk around a 5-10 block area after dark and bring food and treats. Stop periodically, calling the cat’s name softly. Listen carefully but do NOT make any loud noises or sudden moves. Use a flashlight - cats’ eyes will reflect the light and shine at night. 16. Try to remain inconspicuous and put the food beside you, not in your hand. Rattle a treats bag. 17. Put out his litter box, toys, food and water. Leave some food and water in hidden places near the door overnight and carefully check in the morning for signs he's been there. 18. Rig up a cat shelter with articles of clothing and blankets that smell like home. 19. Notify local vet offices, rescues, shelters (e.g. SPCA) and the microchip company if he's chipped. (Make sure that your contact information is up-to-date with the microchip company.) 20. Alert local feral cat feeders who may spot him searching for food. 21. Check all nearby dark, shaded areas - under bushes, shrubs and trees and places where he can shelter from wind, cold/heat and rain. 22. Check under decks, in window wells and dark corners of nearby porches, yards, garages, sheds and stairwells for places where he could be hiding. Ask neighbours if YOU can check their garages and sheds as your kitty will continue to hide if they check. 23. Thump the hoods and fenders of any cars that have been parked for a while in case he or other small animals are hiding in engine compartments and wheel wells. Ask neighbours to do the same, especially in the winter. Also have neighbours check their ring doorbell and security camera footage. That is how I tracked and found my guy. I hope you find your baby!

Not sure if this will help, but you could try.. Please place its bedding 🛏 outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing👚👖 front and back door 🚪with a contents of tuna can 🐟 on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well...supervise food outdoors. Also vaccumed home 🧹dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home🏡 enterence . You can also add some catnip 🌱in a stocking hanging by your entrances. Show your neighbors 🖼picture of the🐈 cat. 10 houses to the ⬅️ left 10 house🏡 to the right➡️ front ⬆️ and back⬇️ if they spot him to give you a call ☎️ immediately. Also, you can put up a Sign post 🪧with your 🐱📷 picture. In front of your 🏡lawn and to call you or contact you ASAP. Go early ⏰️ in the ☀️morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Tell neighbors to check their sheds and garage.Just in case it's trapped..

Go out around 2AM with smelly food or treats and call softly for him. Have neighbors check sheds and garages. Post lots of signs. Also a good idea to stick notes through your neighbour’s door or mailbox for them to check their properties.

Aw poor guy. He’s probably not far. Maybe they could try putting flyers in the doors of the houses on the street around them asking people to keep an eye out. It draws their attention to the fact that he’s missing and not just an outdoor cat walking around. They can call or text with updates of sightings. . It worked twice for us over the years and many others have commented that it’s how they found their cat. Hope Sirius is home soon ! 😊

Check the Mississauga Animal Services website- found pets section, in case he’s found and turned in to their shelter. Put up posters all over the neighbourhood. Go out and walk the area at night while calling for him and shaking a bag of treats. They can hear you better at night and usually aren’t too far from home. Good luck!
