First steps if you lose your cat in Boston

  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 Witham Way, about 0.75 miles away, and Boston Cemetery, around 0.8 miles off, first, since both are quiet and close to home.

  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 vegetation along The Haven, about 0.1 miles from the centre, and the edges of Dion's Wood Nature Reserve, roughly 1.1 miles away.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A16, the A52 and the Boston rail line are busy boundaries, so ask neighbours on your side of them to open garages and sheds 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 Fishtoft, about 2.5 miles to the south-east, and Freiston, around 3.2 miles to the east, as well.

  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 Boston?
