First steps if you lose your cat in Dudley

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 Grange Park and Bluebell Park, both about 0.7 miles away, first, since a frightened cat often lies low in cover close to home.
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 Dudley Canal, about 0.9 miles away, and the Birmingham Canal, roughly 1 mile off, where a cat can keep to the cover.
3
Ask neighbours to open garages, sheds and cellars — cats slip inside unnoticed and get shut in.
Tip from locals
The A4037 and A461, about 0.4 and 0.2 miles away, usually keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to open sheds first.
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 Netherton, about 1.9 miles south, Rowley Regis, roughly 2.5 miles south-east, and Oldbury, about 2.9 miles east.
5
Report her to the shelter, nearby vets and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
