First steps if you lose your cat in Haywards Heath

  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 Muster Green first, just 0.1 miles away, then Denman's Lane Allotments and Borde Hill Garden, about 1.2 and 1.4 miles out, where a frightened cat can hide.

  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 Scrase Stream and West Common Stream, about 0.6 and 0.8 miles away, where a cat can move along the cover unseen.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A272 and A273, about 0.7 and 0.9 miles from the centre, plus the railway, tend to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side 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 Cuckfield, about 1.7 miles to the north-west, and Ansty, around 2.3 miles to the 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.
