First steps if you lose your cat in Gloucester

  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 Gloucester Park first, about 0.3 miles from the centre, then Estcourt Close Allotments, about 0.9 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 banks of the River Twyver, about 0.4 miles out, and the edges of Coney Hill Cemetery, about 1.2 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 A40, about 0.9 miles out, and the A430 and A417, both within 0.3 miles of 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 Barnwood, about 1.9 miles east, and Maisemore, roughly 2.2 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.

Frequently asked questions

How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Gloucester?

PawAlarm turns your missing-pet report into a search alert on Facebook and Instagram.

My indoor cat escaped. Where should I look first?
