First steps if you lose your cat in Kempston

  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 Great Denham Country Park, about 0.4 miles from the centre, then Everard Meadow at around 1.6 miles and Jubilee Park at about 1.8 miles.

  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 reeds and banks along the River Great Ouse, about 0.4 miles away, and the edges of Great Denham Country Park where cats wait out the night.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A421 and A6, about 0.9 and 0.8 miles out, are busy roads that often keep a scared cat on its own side, so ask neighbours on your side of them 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 Bromham, about 2.4 miles to the north-west, and Wootton, around 2.4 miles to the south-west, plus Clapham, roughly 2.9 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.
