First steps if you lose your cat in Ossett

  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

    Check the nearer green space first, Thornhill Rectory Park at about 1.7 miles, then the larger Alverthorpe Meadows, around 2.1 miles away, before widening the search.

  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 Spring Mill Beck and the River Calder, about 0.6 and 0.9 miles away, where waterside cover gives a scared cat somewhere to lie low.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The M1 at about 0.9 miles and the A638 at about 0.7 miles are busy roads likely to keep a cat on one side, so ask neighbours closest to them to open sheds and garages 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 Horbury, about 1.4 miles to the south-east, and Kirkhamgate, around 1.9 miles to the north-east.

  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.
