First steps if you lose your cat in Lewes

  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 Southover Grange Gardens first, about 0.2 miles away, then Boughey Memorial Allotments, around 0.9 miles off, before you widen the 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 growth along the River Ouse and the Papermill Cut, both about 0.3 miles away, where a frightened cat can 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 is a busy road that may keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of it to check sheds and cellars 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 the nearby villages too: Ringmer, about 2.4 miles to the north-east, and Kingston near Lewes, around 1.7 miles to the south-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.
