First steps if you lose your cat in Livingston

  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 Almondvale Park and Froggy Park first, both under 0.3 miles from the centre, then Howden Park at 0.4 miles and Peel Park at 0.9 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 Almond, 0.2 miles away, and Dedridge Burn at 0.4 miles, where a cat can stay low in waterside cover.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Use the A71 at 0.6 miles and the A899 at 0.7 miles as the boundaries most likely to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on that side 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 Mid Calder, 1.6 miles north-east, Polbeth, 2 miles south-west, and East Calder, 2.2 miles east.

  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.

My dog or cat is missing near Livingston. Should I rely on social media, or call the Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home?

The Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home, which works with Police Scotland and a number of local councils to reunite lost dogs and cats with their owners, says you should phone its reception team directly because social media reports are not always seen. If your pet is brought in you are liable for a nightly boarding fee on top of any dog warden or police fees.

What should I do if I find a friendly-looking cat in Livingston?
