First steps if you lose your cat in Alton

  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 The Public Gardens and Alton Flood Meadow first, both within about 0.2 miles of the centre, then Spitalfields Allotments at about 0.3 miles.

  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 along the River Wey (North Branch) and the Caker Stream, about 0.1 and 0.7 miles away, where waterside vegetation gives cover.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A31 and A339, about 0.7 miles out, are busy roads, so ask neighbours on your side of those roads first.

  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 East Worldham, about 2.1 miles to the south-east, and Bentworth, around 3.3 miles to the 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.
