First steps if you lose your cat in Tucson

  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 Gene C. Reid Park, about 0.5 miles away, and Himmel Park, roughly 0.8 miles off, first, the nearest green spaces where a frightened cat may stay close.

  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 growth along Arroyo Chico Wash, about 0.4 miles away, and the Reid Park Lake shoreline, around 0.8 miles off, where cats move once it is quiet.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Ask neighbors along East Broadway Boulevard, right at the center, and near East 22nd Street, about 1 mile away, to open garages and sheds first, since busy main roads often keep a scared cat from crossing.

  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 Covered Wagon Mobile Home Park, about 1.6 miles to the north-east, and Polo Village, around 1.8 miles to the north-west, the nearest neighborhoods to spread it.

  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

    Report it to the 12 vet practices within about 3 miles and the microchip registry before starting a targeted alert.
