First steps if you lose your cat in Burgess Hill

  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 St John's Park and Marle Place Park, both within 0.2 miles, then Ditchling Common, about 1.2 miles away.

  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 Pook Bourne and the Worlds End Stream, 0.6 and 0.7 miles away, where waterside cover gives a cat somewhere to hide.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A273 at about 0.7 miles and the A2300 at 1.1 miles are busy roads that usually keep a scared cat on one side, 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 Wivelsfield Green, 2.7 miles east, Ansty, about 2.7 miles north, and Hassocks, roughly 2.5 miles south-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.
