Searching for a missing pet in Wellington
Steep sections and undercroft garages give Wellington cats endless hiding places, and the wind means calling carries poorly — search close and search quietly.
Start within 100 metres of where your pet was last seen, then widen out. Ask neighbours to physically open sheds, garages and under-house spaces — that single request finds more cats than any other step.
