First steps if you lose your cat in Southall

  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 Minet Country Park, about 0.7 miles away, then Warren Farm Nature Reserve, around 1.2 miles out, where a frightened cat can stay low.

  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 growth along the Grand Union Canal, about 0.7 miles from the centre, and the edges of Grange Park, around 1.4 miles away.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The M4, about 1.4 miles from the centre, and the A312, around 1.1 miles out, often keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side 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 Heston, about 1.9 miles to the south, and West Ealing, around 2.3 miles to the east, plus Cranford, about 2.9 miles 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.
