First steps if you lose your cat in Renfrew

  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

    Start with Barshaw Park, about 1.6 miles away, the nearest quiet green space, then Knightswood Park, around 2 miles off.

  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 waterside vegetation along the Black Cart Water and the Yoker Burn, both within about 1.2 miles, where cats stay hidden.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The M8 is about 0.6 miles away and the A741 only about 0.1 miles, so a scared cat may keep to one side of them; ask neighbours there 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 Inchinnan, about 2.2 miles north-west, and Hawkhead, around 2.7 miles south, 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.
