First steps if you lose your cat in Haydock

  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 Lyme and Wood Pits Country Park, about 0.7 miles away, and Sankey Valley Park, close by at 0.3 miles, before you widen the search.

  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 Sankey Brook and the Sankey Canal, both about 0.7 miles away, where a frightened cat can stay low.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The M6 and A58 are busy roads that may keep a scared cat on one side, 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 the nearby villages too: Garswood, about 1.6 miles to the north, and Ashton in Makerfield, around 1.7 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.
