First steps if you lose your cat in Burton upon Trent

  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 the nearest green spaces first: Anglesey Allotments and Mona Lands C Allotments, both about 0.6 miles away, then Outwoods Pleasure Ground, about 0.7 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 cover along the Trent and Mersey Canal, about 0.5 miles away, and Shobnall Brook, about 0.2 miles off, where a cat can hide under the hedges.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A38 and the A511 are busy roads that can keep a scared cat on its current side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to open sheds, garages and cellars 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 the neighbouring villages too: Newton Solney about 2.9 miles to the north-east, Egginton about 3.4 miles to the north-east and Walton upon Trent around 3.6 miles to the south.

  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.
