First steps if you lose your cat in Sheepshead Bay

  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 Marine Park, about 0.9 miles away, then the edges of Floyd Bennett Field, about 1.7 miles out.

  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 waterside cover along Shell Bank Creek, about 0.7 miles away, and the banks of Gerritsen Creek, about 1.1 miles off.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The BP motorway, Ocean Parkway and the BMT Brighton Line usually keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours 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 Brighton Beach, about 1.2 miles to the south-west, and Flatlands, about 2.1 miles to the north.

  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

    4 vet practices are within about 3 miles, so report the cat to them and to the microchip registry before starting a targeted alert.
