First steps if you lose your cat in Tempe Junction

  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

    Begin with Rio Salado Park, about 1.2 miles away, and Papago Park - Tempe, roughly 1.5 miles off, since a frightened cat tends to stay hidden close by.

  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 George Ditch, just over 0.2 miles away, and the banks of Indian Bend Canal, about 1.5 miles off, with a flashlight.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Ask neighbors near I 10 and the A Line tracks to open garages and sheds, since the busy freeway and light rail often box a scared cat in.

  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 University Mobile Home Park, about 1.2 miles to the east, and Rancho Rio Vista Mobile Home Park, around 1.6 miles to the north-west.

  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

    There are 8 vet practices within about 3 miles, so report the missing cat to them and to the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert.
