How PawAlarm helps in Galway
This circle is who sees the alert: people who live, walk and drive around the last-seen spot in Galway — not your friends list. A neighbour two streets over, or someone passing through from the next town, is the person most likely to notice your cat.

Frequently asked questions
How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Galway?
PawAlarm turns your missing-pet report into a search alert on Facebook and Instagram. It is shown to the people who live and get around near the spot where your cat was last seen – within 1.5 km of Galway, that's about 19,000 people. The alert goes live within 60 minutes. Anyone who spots your cat reports the sighting on your search page, and you get it by email straight away.
My indoor cat escaped. Where should I look first?
Check your home and the area around the escape point carefully. Look under cover and ask the people next door to check inside sheds and garages. A frightened cat may stay hidden without answering your calls.

How do I report a lost or found pet to the Galway SPCA?
The Galway SPCA asks you to complete the contact form on its website to report an animal lost or found. Once it has received a photo, it posts the animal on its Lost and Found Facebook page. Meanwhile, a found animal should be taken to the nearest vet to be scanned for a microchip, and should never be handed over to anyone who cannot prove ownership.
