First steps if you lose your cat in Cheltenham

  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 Sandford Park first, about 0.1 miles from the centre, then Montpellier Gardens and Pittville Park, both within half a mile.

  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 banks of the River Chelt and Wyman's Brook, about 0.1 and 0.7 miles from the centre.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Use the A40, about 0.5 miles out, and the A4019 and A435, both about 0.2 miles from the centre, as boundaries, then ask neighbours on each side to open garages and sheds.

  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 Charlton Kings, about 1.6 miles south-east, and Bishops Cleeve, roughly 3.4 miles 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.

I found a stray cat in Cheltenham. Can the animal shelter take it in?

Cheltenham Animal Shelter does not collect stray cats, but you can bring a cat there to be scanned for a microchip.
