First steps if you lose your cat in Bishopbriggs

  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 the nearest green spaces first: Springburn Park is about 0.8 miles away, and St Kentigern's Roman Catholic Cemetery lies about 1.7 miles off, a quiet place for a frightened cat.

  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 Bishopbriggs Burn, just 0.1 miles from the centre, and the edge of Springburn Park, where a frightened cat can stay low under cover.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The M80 and M8, about 2 and 2.4 miles out, usually keep a scared cat on the town side, so ask neighbours there to open 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 Torrance, about 2.5 miles to the north, and Lenzie, around 3.2 miles to the north-east, 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.

Do East Dunbartonshire Council tenants in Bishopbriggs need permission to keep a pet?
