First steps if you lose your cat in Cowley

  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 Florence Park, 0.7 miles away, and Shotover Country Park, 0.7 miles off, thoroughly first, as the nearest green spaces to the centre.

  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 Littlemore Brook, 0.4 miles away, and Boundary Brook, 0.6 miles off, where waterside vegetation offers cover.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A4142 and the A34 are busy roads that can keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them 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 it in Garsington, 2.2 miles to the south-east, and Wheatley, 3.0 miles to the 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.
