First steps if you lose your cat in Bridgwater

  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 Blake Gardens and Eastover Park first, both within about 0.5 miles, then St Matthew's Field, around 0.4 miles away, where a frightened cat can lie low.

  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 vegetation along the River Parrett and the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal, both within about 0.3 miles of the centre.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Busy roads such as the A39 and the A38 can keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to check sheds and garages 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 Chedzoy, about 2.5 miles east, and North Petherton, around 2.5 miles south, the two 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.
