First steps if you lose your cat in Nigg

  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 Kincorth Hill Local Nature Reserve, just 0.1 miles away, and Loirston Green, 0.9 miles off, thoroughly first, as the nearest green spaces.

  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 River Dee, 0.9 miles away, and the Burn of Leggart, 1.1 miles off, where waterside cover runs along the banks.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A956 and the A92 are busy roads that can keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them 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 it in Cove, 1.2 miles to the south, and Cults, 2.8 miles to the west.

  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.
