First steps if you lose your cat in Streatham

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 Tooting Bec Common first, about 0.2 miles away, then Brockwell Park, roughly 1.5 miles off, where a frightened cat can lie low in the undergrowth.
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 Wandle and The Pickle, both about 2.2 miles away, where waterside cover keeps a cat out of sight.
3
Ask neighbours to open garages, sheds and cellars — cats slip inside unnoticed and get shut in.
Tip from locals
Roads like the A214 and A216 run right through the area, so ask neighbours on each side of them to check sheds and garages first.
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 Brixton Hill, about 1.6 miles to the north, Balham, roughly 1.6 miles north-west, and Gipsy Hill, about 1.7 miles east.
5
Report her to the shelter, nearby vets and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
