First steps if you lose your cat in Orlando

  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 the Greenwood Urban Wetlands first, about 1 mile from the center, then Greenwood Cemetery at about 1.1 miles. Both give a hiding cat thick cover close to home.

  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 shore of Lake Lucerne, about 0.2 miles away, and the edge of Lake Eola, about 0.4 miles off, where cats move once the streets are quiet.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Treat the I 4 motorway and the Central Florida Rail Corridor, about 0.2 and 0.1 miles away, as boundaries, and 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 Holden Heights, about 2.9 miles south, and Fairview Shores, about 3.7 miles north, both nearby.

  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.

Frequently asked questions

How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Orlando?

PawAlarm turns your missing-pet report into a search alert on Facebook and Instagram. It is shown to the people who live and get around near the spot where your cat was last seen – within 1 mi of Orlando, that's about 17,000 people. The alert goes live within 60 minutes.

My indoor cat escaped. Where should I look first?

Check your home and the area around the escape point carefully. Look under cover and ask the people next door to check inside sheds and garages. A frightened cat may stay hidden without answering your calls.
