First steps if you lose your cat in Hull

  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

    Begin at West Park, about 1.2 miles away, then Hull Western Cemetery at about 1.3 miles, the nearest green spaces to 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 waterside cover along the River Hull, about 0.4 miles away, and the Setting Dike, about 0.6 miles.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A63 and the rail line at Hull Paragon Interchange, both within about half a mile, are the busy boundaries most likely to 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 Saint Andrews Quay, about 1.9 miles to the south-west, and Dunswell, about 4.2 miles to the north.

  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 Hull?

What happens if a pet is found dead on a road in Hull?

Hull City Council collects dead animals from public highways, adjacent land and areas open to the public within the city boundary, within 2 working days of a request, bank holidays included (not Christmas Day). Every dog and cat it collects is scanned for a microchip so the owner can be traced. Animals on the A63/A1033 (e.g. Clive Sullivan Way, Castle Street, Hedon Road) are handled by Highways England instead.

Can Hull City Council microchip my cat or dog?

Yes. Hull City Council offers microchipping of dogs and cats in the owner's own home for £20 per animal, requested through its online form. The council warns that owners can be fined up to £500 if a dog or cat is not chipped when required (dogs by 8 weeks, cats by 20 weeks), and that the chip must be on a government-approved register with up-to-date details.
