First steps if you lose your cat in Northampton

  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 Midsummer Meadow, about 0.6 miles away, and Delapre Park, roughly 0.9 miles off, first, where a frightened cat can lie low 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 banks of the River Nene and the Grand Union Canal, about 0.4 and 0.5 miles away, where cats can keep to the cover along the water.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The M1 and A45, about 2.7 and 1.2 miles away, usually keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your 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 Hardingstone, about 1.7 miles to the south, Kislingbury, roughly 3.5 miles west, and Pitsford, about 4.5 miles 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.

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