First steps if you lose your cat in Longsight

  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 Platt Fields Park, about a mile away, then Highfield Country Park at about 1.4 miles, and check the hedges and sheds along each edge.

  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 banks of Gore Brook, just 0.2 miles away, and Platt Brook, about 0.9 miles off, with a torch, where a cat can stay hidden.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A6 through the centre and the A57(M), about 1.5 miles away, are busy roads that often keep a scared cat on one side. Ask neighbours on your side of them to open garages, 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 Fallowfield, about 1.4 miles to the south-west, Burnage, about 1.7 miles to the south, and Hulme, about 2 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.
