First steps if you lose your cat in Sunset Park

  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 Green-Wood Cemetery and Shore Road Park first, about 0.7 and 1.3 miles away, then Red Hook Park, 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 vegetation around Sylvan Water and Dell Water, both about a mile away, and the banks of the Gowanus Canal, about 1.4 miles off.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The New York New Jersey Rail line and the I 278 are the boundaries most likely to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours 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 Dyker Heights, about 1.7 miles to the south, and Park Slope, about 2.2 miles to the north-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

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