First steps if you lose your cat in Airdrie

  1. 1

    Search the immediate area very thoroughly first — a frightened cat usually hides silently within a few houses, not far away.

    Tip from locals

    Start at Centenary Park, about 0.6 miles away, then Dunbeth Public Park, roughly 1.1 miles off, where a frightened cat can stay hidden in the shrubbery.

  2. 2

    Go out again after dark with a torch: cats move once it is quiet, and their eyes reflect the light under cars, sheds and hedges.

    Tip from locals

    After dark, check the banks of Brown's Burn, about 0.9 miles away, and the edges of the Monkland Canal, around 1.2 miles off, where torchlight picks up eyes under the cover.

  3. 3

    Ask neighbours to open garages, sheds and cellars — cats slip inside unnoticed and get shut in.

    Tip from locals

    The A8 and the M8 are the busy roads most likely to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to open sheds and garages first.

  4. 4

    Ask neighbours to check enclosed spaces again and share a recent photo with the last-seen place and time.

    Tip from locals

    Share the photo in Glenmavis, about 1.6 miles north, Calderbank, also around 1.6 miles south, and Chapelhall, roughly 2 miles south-east.

  5. 5

    Report her to the shelter, nearby vets and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
