How PawAlarm helps in London
This circle is who sees the alert: people who live, walk and drive around the last-seen spot in London — not your friends list. A neighbour two streets over, or someone passing through from the next town, is the person most likely to notice your cat.

Frequently asked questions
How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in London?
PawAlarm turns your missing-pet report into a search alert on Facebook and Instagram. It is shown to the people who live and get around near the spot where your cat was last seen – within 1 mi of London, that's about 62,000 people. The alert goes live within 60 minutes. Anyone who spots your cat reports the sighting on your search page, and you get it by email straight away.
My indoor cat escaped. Where should I look first?
Check your home and the area around the escape point carefully. Look under cover and ask the people next door to check inside sheds and garages. A frightened cat may stay hidden without answering your calls.
How to Find an Indoor Cat That Got OutsideHow much does an alert cost in London?

The price follows how far your alert reaches around the last-seen spot in London: 1 mi reaches about 62,000 people for £64, 1.8 mi reaches about 290,000 people for £220 and 3 mi reaches about 980,000 people for £575. You see the exact price before you pay, and there is no subscription.
Can I use PawAlarm in London for free?

Is there another animal shelter near London?
For London, we list RSPCA Central London Branch. Address: 45 Primrose Avenue, Enfield, EN2 0SZ. Phone: 020 7272 2264. Call before you go and ask about animals brought in recently.
What happens to a stray cat handed in to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London?
If you cannot find the owner of a stray cat in London, you can ask Battersea Dogs & Cats Home to take it in using its online stray cat form, and the intake team calls you back if it can help. Most stray cats brought in must stay seven days before Battersea starts rehoming them, which gives owners time to claim them, and staff check each cat against their list of reported missing cats.
