First steps if you lose your cat in Hinckley

  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

    Start with Hollycroft Park, 0.25 miles away, then Queen's Park and Granville Road Park, both about 0.3 miles off, and search their hedges first.

  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 growth along Sketchley Brook, about 0.6 miles away, and along the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal, about 1 mile out.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A5 and A47, about 1.2 and 1.1 miles out, are busy roads that can keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on each 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 Aston Flamville, about 2.4 miles to the east, Stoke Golding, about 2.6 miles to the north-west, and Higham on the Hill, around 2.8 miles to the west.

  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 Hinckley?
