First steps if you lose your cat in Mitcham

  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 Mitcham Common, about 0.3 miles away, and Morden Hall Park, around 0.6 miles off, first, since a frightened cat usually stays hidden close to home.

  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 along the River Wandle, about 0.6 miles away, and the edges of Morden Park, around 1.7 miles off, where a cat can move unseen.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The railway at Mitcham Junction, about 0.9 miles away, and the A217 usually keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them 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 St. Helier, about 1.6 miles to the south-west, and Wallington, around 2.8 miles to the south, the nearest neighbourhoods to reach.

  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.
