How PawAlarm helps in Edinburgh
This circle is who sees the alert: people who live, walk and drive around the last-seen spot in Edinburgh — not your friends list. A neighbour two streets over, or someone passing through from the next town, is the person most likely to notice your cat.

Frequently asked questions
How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Edinburgh?
PawAlarm turns your missing-pet report into a search alert on Facebook and Instagram. It is shown to the people who live and get around near the spot where your cat was last seen – within 1 mi of Edinburgh, that's about 69,000 people. The alert goes live within 60 minutes. Anyone who spots your cat reports the sighting on your search page, and you get it by email straight away.
My indoor cat escaped. Where should I look first?
Check your home and the area around the escape point carefully. Look under cover and ask the people next door to check inside sheds and garages. A frightened cat may stay hidden without answering your calls.

Can I report a missing pet to the City of Edinburgh Council?
Yes. The council has an online Report your missing pet form so it can check whether it has found your pet. It removes dead cats, dogs, foxes and badgers from pavements, road edges and verges, but will not uplift or dispose of deceased domestic pets, which is the owner's responsibility.
