First steps if you lose your cat in Hastings

  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 closest quiet spaces first: West Hill is only about 0.1 miles away, then Linton Gardens and White Rock Gardens, both about 0.4 miles, and Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve, roughly half a mile.

  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 vegetation along the Hollington Stream, about 1.8 miles away, and the edges of St Helen's Wood, around 1.3 miles out, where a cat can stay low and out of sight.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A259 and A2101 running through the town and the railway at St Leonards Warrior Square are useful boundaries, so ask neighbours on your side of them to check 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 Saint Leonards-on-Sea, about 1.6 miles west, and Fairlight, roughly 3.6 miles to the north-east.

  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.

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