First steps if you lose your cat in Friern Barnet

  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 St Pancras and Islington Cemetery, about 0.6 miles away, then check Oak Hill Park and Brook Farm Open Space, both roughly 1.5 miles off.

  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 overgrown banks of Bounds Green Brook and Strawberry Vale Brook, both within about 0.6 miles, where a torch can pick out eyes under the hedges.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A406 and the New Southgate rail line, both within about 0.7 miles, 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 the photo in Cockfosters, about 2.5 miles to the north, and Hornsey, around 2.4 miles to the south-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.
