First steps if you lose your cat in Fort William

  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

    Start with The Old Fort, about 0.4 miles away, then The Craigs cemetery at about 0.5 miles, and Black Parks at about 0.7 miles.

  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 the River Lochy, about 0.6 miles away, and the River Nevis, about 0.7 miles off, with a torch, where a frightened cat can stay low.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A82, very close by, and the A861, about 0.7 miles away, are main roads that can keep a scared cat on one side. Ask neighbours on your side of them to open sheds, garages 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 Camusnagaul, about 0.9 miles to the north-west, Trislaig, about 0.9 miles to the west, and Caol, about 1.5 miles to the north.

  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.
