First steps if you lose your cat in Garden Grove

  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 Garden Grove Park, about 1.6 miles away, and Haster Basin Recreation Area, around 1.8 miles off, first, since a frightened cat usually stays close to where it ran.

  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 cover along Haster Retarding Basin, about 1.8 miles away, and the Santa Ana River banks, around 2.5 miles off, with a flashlight.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    CA 22 and I 5 are busy roads, about 0.6 and 3 miles away, that can box a cat in, so ask neighbors on your side of them 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 Colonia Manzanilla, about 1 mile to the south-east, and Oasis Mobile Home Park, around 1.7 miles to the north-east, 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.
