First steps if you lose your cat in Chester

  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 Grosvenor Park first, about 0.2 miles from the centre, then General Cemetery, about 0.6 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 Shropshire Union Canal, about 0.2 miles out, and the banks of the River Dee, about 0.3 miles away.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Use the A5268 and A548, both within 0.2 miles of the centre, and the A41, about 1.6 miles out, 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 Hoole, about 0.9 miles north-east, and Blacon, roughly 1.9 miles north-west, 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.
