First steps if you lose your cat in Gravesend

  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 the nearest quiet spots first: Dashwood Garden of Rest is about 0.7 miles from the centre, with Woodlands Park just as close and The Warren about 1.7 miles off.

  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 Bill Meroy Creek, about 0.7 miles away, and the edges of Northfleet Cemetery, roughly 1.6 miles off, where a cat can lie low.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A226 and A227 run close to the centre, and the A2 is about 1.8 miles away, so ask neighbours on your side of those roads to open sheds and cellars 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 Chadwell St Mary to the north, about 2.7 miles away, and Istead Rise to the south, also about 2.7 miles off, plus Swanscombe to the west, around 2.5 miles.

  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 Gravesend?
