First steps if you lose your cat in Norman

  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 Andrews Park, about 0.4 miles away, and Griffin Community Park at 0.8 miles first, then the Bishop Creek edges.

  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, walk the Bishop Creek banks, about half a mile out, and the edges of Brandt Park at 1.1 miles, with a flashlight kept low.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    West Main Street, US 77 and the Red Rock Subdivision rail line may 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 Hall Park, about 2.1 miles north-east, and Goldsby, about 6 miles south, too.

  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

    Report to the 4 vet practices within about 3 miles and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert.
