First steps if you lose your cat in Kilwinning

  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 Almswall Park first, just 0.1 miles away, then McGavin Park and Eglinton Country Park, about 0.3 and 0.4 miles out, where a frightened cat can hide close by.

  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 Garnock, just 0.1 miles away, and the edges of Eglinton Country Park, about 0.4 miles off, where a cat can stay low out of sight.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A738 and the A78, about 0.2 and 0.8 miles away, 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

    Share the photo in Stevenston, about 2.4 miles to the south-west, and Saltcoats, around 3.6 miles to the west, 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.
