First steps if you lose your cat in Oadby

  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 Shady Lane Arboretum, about 0.6 miles away, then Brocks Hill Country Park and Knighton Park, both under a mile from the town.

  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 Evington Brook and Wash Brook, both about 0.7 miles away, where a cat can keep to the cover.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A6 is about 0.25 miles away and the A563 about 0.4 miles, so a scared cat may stay on one side; ask neighbours on your 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 Aylestone, about 2.6 miles west, and Great Glen, around 2.9 miles south-east, 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.
