First steps if you lose your cat in Pontypool

  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 the quiet spaces nearest you first: Trevethin Community Garden is about 0.7 miles away, and Panteg Cemetery is about 0.9 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 reeds and overgrown banks along the Trosnant Brook, about 0.2 miles away, and the edges of Cwmynyscoy Gwarchodfa Natur Leol, about 0.7 miles off.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    Busy roads such as the A4043 and A4042 tend to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them 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 the wider area too: Cwmbran is about 3.4 miles south and Newbridge about 4.7 miles south-west.

  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.
