First steps if you lose your cat in Hebburn

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 Riverside Park and Campbell Park, both under half a mile away, then King George's Field, about 1.2 miles off.
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 bankside cover along the River Tyne, about 0.7 miles away, and the Monkton Burn, roughly a mile off, with a torch.
3
Ask neighbours to open garages, sheds and cellars — cats slip inside unnoticed and get shut in.
Tip from locals
Busy roads like the A194(M) and A184 can box a frightened cat in, so ask neighbours on your side of them to open sheds and garages first.
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 East Boldon, about 4 miles to the south-east, and Shiremoor, roughly 4.3 miles to the north, the nearest villages.
5
Report her to the shelter, nearby vets and the microchip registry, then start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
