First steps if you lose your cat in Broadstairs

  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

    King George VI Memorial Park and St Lawrence Cemetery are both about 1.1 miles from the centre, so search these quiet spots first, then Ramsgate Cemetery at 1.2 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 the edges of Ramsgate Cemetery and Chilton Lane East Allotments, where hedges and sheds give a cat good cover.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A255 runs close to the town, and the A256 and A254 lie about 1.1 and 1.7 miles out, so ask neighbours on your side of those roads to check 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 Saint Peters, about 1.2 miles to the north-west, and Kingsgate, around 1.4 miles to the north, 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.
