First steps if you lose your cat in Rickmansworth

  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 Rickmansworth Park first, about 0.25 miles away, then Woodcock Hill Cemetery, roughly 0.9 miles off, checking the edges as you go.

  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 waterside growth along the River Colne, only about 0.1 miles away, and the Grand Union Canal, around 0.6 miles out, where eyes reflect in the undergrowth.

  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 M25 and the A404 tend to keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side of them to open sheds 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 with Batchworth, about 0.7 miles to the south-east, Mill End, around 1 mile to the west, and Chorleywood, roughly 1.9 miles to the north-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.
