First steps if you lose your cat in Kilmarnock

  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

    Search Kay Park and Howard Park first, both within half a mile of the centre, then Dean Castle Country Park, about 0.6 miles off, where a frightened cat can hide in cover.

  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 scrub along Tam's Loup, about 0.4 miles away, and the banks of the Kilmarnock Water, right by the town centre, where a cat's eyes will catch the torchlight.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Busy roads such as the A77 and the A76 tend to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to check sheds and garages 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

    Widen the search to Crosshouse, about 2.1 miles to the west, and Kilmaurs, around 2.3 miles to the north-west, to share the photo.

  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.
