First steps if you lose your cat in Golborne

  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

    Edge Green Common and Ashton Heath are the nearest green spaces, about 0.75 and 1.1 miles away, so search them thoroughly before the larger country parks.

  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 Millingford Brook, about 0.1 miles from the centre, and the edges of Mesnes Park, about 1.6 miles out, where a cat can stay hidden.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A573 and A580 run close to the centre and the M6 lies about 1.2 miles out, so ask neighbours on your side of those roads to check sheds and garages 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 Abram, about 2.3 miles to the north, and Winwick, around 2.9 miles to the south, 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.
