Make the location precise
Use Kolkata as the city and add the neighbourhood, road, crossing, park or landmark separately. Precise local details are especially important in busy urban areas where a pet can move between adjacent neighbourhoods quickly.
Combine online and ground search
Check the last-seen area repeatedly, speak with local feeders, security guards, vets and animal rescuers, and share a single current photo and report link in neighbourhood groups. Update the report if a credible sighting moves the search area.
Verify ownership before handover
For a found pet, avoid publishing every unique identifying detail. Keep one or two identifiers private and ask a claimant to provide older photos or matching information before handover.
