First steps if you lose your cat in Orange

  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 with Hart Park, about 0.6 miles away, then El Camino Real Park at around 0.9 miles and Santiago Park, about 0.8 miles, all small green spaces to search thoroughly.

  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 Santiago Creek, about 0.7 miles away, and the edges of Hart Park, where the undergrowth gives a hiding cat plenty of cover.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The CA 22 and I 5 motorways, about 0.7 and 1.4 miles away, usually keep a scared cat on one side, 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 Villa Park, about 2.9 miles to the north-east, Panorama Heights, about 3.2 miles east, and Tustin, around 3.3 miles south-east.

  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

    Nine vet practices lie within about 3 miles, so call them and the microchip registry now, then start a targeted alert.
