First steps if you lose your cat in Mendip

  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 with Mendip Hospital Cemetery, about 1.8 miles away, and Cathedral Green, roughly 2 miles off, since a frightened cat tends to lie low in quiet corners like these.

  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 Keward Brook, about 1.8 miles away, and the River Axe, roughly 2.1 miles off, where a cat's eyes can catch torchlight in the reeds.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A39 runs about 0.3 miles from the centre and can keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on that side to open garages and sheds 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 Wells, about 2.2 miles to the south-west, and Croscombe, roughly 3.2 miles to the south-east, the nearest villages beyond the green spaces.

  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.
