First steps if you lose your cat in Middlesbrough

  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 Albert Park first, about 0.6 miles from the centre, then Linthorpe Cemetery, about 1.1 miles away.

  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 along Marton West Beck and Ormesby Beck, both about 0.6 miles from the centre, and the edges of Pallister Park, about 1.4 miles out.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Use the A66 and A178, within 0.3 miles of the centre, and the A19 about 1.4 miles out as boundaries, then ask neighbours on each side to open garages and sheds.

  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 Port Clarence, about 0.8 miles north, and Haverton Hill, roughly 1.6 miles north, the nearest neighbourhoods.

  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.

Frequently asked questions

How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Middlesbrough?
