First steps if you lose your cat in Newcastle upon Tyne

  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 in Leazes Park, about 0.3 miles away, then Town Moor at about 0.7 miles and Hunter's Moor at about 1.1 miles.

  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 the Ouse Burn, about 0.8 miles away, and the edges of Jesmond Dene, about 1.3 miles.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The River Tyne, about 0.5 miles away, and the A1, about 2 miles off, are the boundaries most likely to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on each side 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 Benwell, about 2.2 miles to the west, and Hazlerigg, about 4.8 miles to the north.

  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 Newcastle upon Tyne?

PawAlarm turns your missing-pet report into a search alert on Facebook and Instagram. It is shown to the people who live and get around near the spot where your cat was last seen – within 1 mi of Newcastle upon Tyne, that's about 37,000 people. The alert goes live within 60 minutes.

My indoor cat escaped. Where should I look first?

Where is the nearest animal shelter to Newcastle upon Tyne?

For Newcastle upon Tyne, we list Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter. Address: Benton North Farm, Benton Lane, Longbenton, Newcastle upon Tyne NE12 8EH. Phone: 0191 215 0435. Call before you go and ask about animals brought in recently.

Is the RSPCA Newcastle & North Northumberland Branch currently taking in or rehoming animals?

No. The branch states that it is currently not rehoming animals and does not have the capacity to take animals in, so it is worth contacting other shelters or the council dog warden service for strays.

What should I do about a stray cat or abandoned kittens in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter advises against feeding a cat that comes to your home, because it may already have a home and will keep coming back to be fed. If the cat keeps hanging around, or you find a litter of kittens without their mother, call the shelter for advice. If the cat looks unwell, contact a local vet. The shelter's Claremont Road Centre has closed permanently, and everything now runs from Benton North Farm.
