First steps if you lose your cat in Hadley Wood

1
Search the immediate area very thoroughly first — a frightened cat usually hides silently within a few houses, not far away.
Tip from locals
Trent Park, about 0.9 miles away, and Oak Hill Park, around 1.8 miles off, are the nearest quiet green spaces, so search them first.
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 waterside cover along Monken Mead Brook, just 0.2 miles away, and Pymme's Brook, around 0.7 miles off, where eyes catch the torch under bushes.
3
Ask neighbours to open garages, sheds and cellars — cats slip inside unnoticed and get shut in.
Tip from locals
The A111 and the A1000 are busy roads that often keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to check sheds and garages first.
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 New Barnet, about 1.2 miles south, and Cockfosters, around 1.5 miles south-east, the nearest neighbourhoods.
5
Report her to the shelter, nearby vets and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
