First steps if you lose your cat in Lancing

  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 the streets close by first, then quiet green spaces nearby, such as Beach Green, about 0.5 miles away, and The Brooklands Pleasure Grounds, around 0.9 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 cover along the Teville Stream, about 0.9 miles away, and around the edges of Lancing and Sompting Cemetery, about 0.8 miles, where a cat may lie low.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A27 and the A259, both about 0.5 miles away, plus the railway at Lancing, just 0.1 miles off, can box a scared cat in, 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 South Lancing, just 0.3 miles to the south, and in Broadwater, about 2.4 miles to the west, as well.

  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.
