First steps if you lose your cat in El Paso

  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 Lower Tom Lea Park, about 1.2 miles away, first, then the Parque Público Federal El Chamizal, around 1.4 miles off, where the grounds give a frightened cat cover.

  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 banks of the Franklin Canal, about 1.1 miles away, and the Río Bravo / Rio Grande, about 0.6 miles off, where a cat can stay out of sight.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The I 10 highway and the Lordsburg Subdivision rail line, both within about half a mile, usually keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbors 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 Mission Hills, about 2.2 miles north, and in Smeltertown, around 2.9 miles north-west, the nearest neighborhoods.

  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 is 1 vet practice within about 3 miles, so report the cat there and to the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert.
