First steps if you lose your cat in Bodmin

  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 Roseland Allotments and Castle Hill Allotments, both about 0.7 miles away, first, then The Green, roughly 2.5 miles off.

  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 the Bodmin Town Leat, right by the town, and the River Camel, about 1.2 miles away, where eyes show under hedges.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A389 close by, the A38 about 1.0 miles away and the Bodmin General railway, roughly 0.5 miles off, can box a scared cat in, so ask neighbours on your side 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 Dunmere, about 1.2 miles to the west, and Lanivet, roughly 2.6 miles to the south-west, the nearest neighbourhoods.

  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.

How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Bodmin?
