First steps if you lose your cat in Aurora

  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 Sand Creek Park, about 1.7 miles away, and Expo Park, roughly 1.9 miles, first, then Lowry Open Space, about 2.3 miles off.

  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 edges of Toll Gate Creek, about 0.4 miles away, and the Highline Canal, roughly 1.8 miles, where waterside cover can hide a cat.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The RTD R Line light rail, about 0.4 miles away, and CO 30, roughly 0.2 miles, can keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbors on your side of them to check garages and sheds 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 with Park View Estates, about 0.6 miles south, Chambers Heights, roughly 0.9 miles east, and Hillcrest, about 1.2 miles north-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

    There are 7 vets within about 3 miles, so report the cat to them and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert.
