First steps if you lose your cat in Nashville

  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

    Start in Victory Park, just a short walk away, then Fort Negley, about 1.4 miles off, where a frightened cat can stay hidden.

  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 along the Cumberland River, about half a mile away, and the banks of Brown's Creek, around 2 miles off, where a cat can move unseen.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The I 40 and I 65 highways, both within about a mile of the center, usually box a scared cat in, 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 East Nashville, about 1.4 miles east, and in Cumberland Heights, around 2.1 miles north, 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 call it with the photo and report the cat to the microchip registry before a targeted alert.
