Hope your Taffy is home soon! 🙂 The best way I know to get the word out in your neighborhood and at and around the location where she was last seen, is to be knocking on doors and talking with everyone, making sure they have your posters with contact information. Let them know that kitties get accidentally locked in anywhere left open for a while. Garages, outbuildings, crawl spaces, in and under porches, cars, campers, etc., etc. Might offer to help check. Check everywhere on your property, too. Go out after dark with a flashlight. One of mine got into a bat that wouldn't have been checked if I hadn't done this. One came home smelling of perfume after this, so there's that. 😉 For both of them it was over a month before I learned to do this!
Make a lost kitty report at shelters. Do check shelters daily. They show photos of found kitties online. After about a week some become adoptable so see adoptable kitties also. Go, call, ask questions. Checking in person is better.
Call all vets, too.
SAVE TIME getting to neighbors: Might spare yourself time for making posters. It's OK to just go knock on doors. Take a little notebook with you and write out the particulars for anyone you talk with. I'd just draw a simple cat picture to make the note easy for the neighbor to keep track of. 🙂 If you are artful, fold the note "artistically" -- anything to keep it in sight! If you have kids they'd have paper-folding ideas. 🙂 🙂 🙂
