First steps if you lose your cat in Barnes

  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

    Search Barnes Common, just 0.2 miles away, then Putney Heath, about 1.6 miles off, before going further afield.

  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 waterside cover along Beverley Brook and the River Thames, both within about 0.2 miles, with a torch.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A306 and M4 can box a scared cat in, so ask neighbours on your side of them to check garages, sheds and cellars 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 Mortlake, about 0.9 miles to the west, and East Sheen, roughly 1.1 miles to the south-west, the nearest neighbourhoods.

  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.
