How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Elgin?

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.
