First steps if you lose your cat in Dún Laoghaire

  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 Dean's Grange Cemetery, 2.2 km away, and Clonkeen Park, 2.3 km out, first, checking the quiet corners of each.

  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 Sallynoggin Stream, 1 km away, and the Stradbrook Stream, 1.1 km out, with a torch along the banks.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The N31, 0.3 km away, and Newtown Avenue, 2.4 km out, can 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 Monkstown, 1.1 km to the west, Sallynoggin, 1.5 km to the south, and Dalkey, 2.8 km to the south-east.

  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.

    Tip from locals

    Contact the 6 vet practices within 5 km and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert for the Dún Laoghaire area.
