First steps if you lose your cat in Perry Vale

  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 Crystal Palace Park, about 1.2 miles away, then Peckham Rye Park and Beckenham Place Park, roughly 1.4 and 1.5 miles off, where a frightened cat can stay hidden.

  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 vegetation along the Ravensbourne River, about 0.8 miles away, and the edges of Crystal Palace Park, where eyes catch torchlight under hedges and sheds.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A205 and A212, about 0.4 miles away, usually keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to open garages and sheds 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 Forest Hill, about 0.7 miles to the north, Crofton Park, about 1.1 miles to the north-east, and Crystal Palace, about 1.9 miles to the south-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.
