First steps if you lose your cat in Plymstock

  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 Saltram first, about 1.1 miles away, then Drake Memorial Park, a cemetery around 1.4 miles out, where a frightened cat may lie low.

  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 vegetation along Billacombe Brook and Pomphlett Lake, both within about 0.6 miles, where cats stay hidden.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A379 is about 0.4 miles away and the A38 about 1.6 miles, so a cat may stay on one side of them; ask neighbours there 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 Plympton, about 2.5 miles north-east, and Wembury, around 2.7 miles south, the nearest villages.

  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.
