First steps if you lose your cat in Finglas

  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 Tolka Valley Park, about 1.1 km away, then Poppintree Park at 1.2 km and Glasnevin Cemetery, around 1.7 km out.

  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 along the Tolka, about 1.3 km away, and the Royal Canal, around 1.8 km, with a torch.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The Midland Great Western Railway Main Line and the M50 motorway, both around 1.8 to 1.9 km away, 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 Glasnevin, about 1.6 km to the south-east, Ballymun, around 2.2 km to the north-east, and Cabra, about 2.5 km to the south.

  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

    There are 8 vet practices within 5 km, so report to them and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert.
