First steps if you lose your cat in Ruislip

  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

    Begin with Pine Gardens, about 0.9 miles away, then Roxbourne Park, about 1.5 miles off, where a frightened cat can keep out of sight.

  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 Pinn, about 0.5 miles away, and the Yeading Brook, about 1 mile off, where waterside growth gives a cat cover.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A40 and the M40 usually keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to check sheds, garages and cellars 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 Ickenham, about 1.1 miles to the south-west, and Northwood Hills, about 1.9 miles to the north, 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.
