A missing cat may be close to home, hidden in a garage, shed or quiet corner. Start with the last reliable location and its timestamp, then search carefully nearby. Ask neighbours to check enclosed spaces rather than assuming the cat has travelled far.

What to check
Indoor reception can be poor and the collar may have detached. If the map shows an unchanged position, consider both explanations. Treat notifications as clues, not proof that the animal is at an exact address. Keep familiar food and the usual return route available where appropriate.
Before you rely on it
Keep identification registration details current and have a clear photo ready. Tell the relevant local services if the search continues. A tracker is an additional search aid; it does not replace identification or careful checks of places where a cat could become trapped.
