First steps if you lose your cat in Farnworth

  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

    Begin with Moses Gate Country Park, about 0.4 miles away, then Blackleach Country Park, around 0.9 miles out.

  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 reeds along the River Irwell and the Singing Clough, both about 0.6 miles away, and the edges of Moses Gate Country Park.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The M61 and the A575 tend to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them 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 Kearsley, about 1.2 miles south-east, and Little Lever, roughly 1.3 miles north-east, 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.
