First steps if you lose your cat in East New York

  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 the nearest quiet green space first: Spring Creek Park is about 0.9 miles away, with Highland Park about 1.1 miles and Cemetery of the Evergreens about 1.2 miles.

  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 vegetation along Betts Creek and Old Mill Creek, about 1.1 and 1.2 miles out, where a frightened cat can stay low and out of sight.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Busy roads and rail lines such as the BMT Jamaica Line and NY 27 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 in Cypress Hills, about 0.9 miles to the north-west, and Woodhaven, about 2 miles to the north-east, the nearest neighborhoods around you.

  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 2 vets within 5 km and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert covering the nearby neighborhoods.
