First steps if you lose your cat in Eastbourne

  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

    Start with Gildredge Park, 0.3 miles away, then Gorringe Road Allotments and Eastbourne Ocklynge Cemetery, both under a mile from the centre.

  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 Lottbridge Sewer, about 1.1 miles away, then the edges of Princes Park, about 1.5 miles out.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A2021 and A2280, about 0.7 and 1.2 miles out, are busy roads that can 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 Old Town, about 0.8 miles to the north-west, Ratton Village, about 1.7 miles to the north-west, and Friston, about 3.5 miles to the 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.
