First steps if you lose your cat in Rossendale

  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 Whitaker Park, about 1.3 miles away, Edgeside Park, around 1.4 miles off, and Rawtenstall Cemetery, about 1.5 miles away, first, since a frightened cat tends to lie low nearby.

  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 along Balladen Brook and Scout Moor Brook, both about 0.6 miles away, and the River Irwell, around 0.9 miles off, where a cat can move unseen.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A56, about 1.2 miles away, and the M66, around 1.9 miles off, usually 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 Edenfield, about 1.7 miles to the south-west, and Bacup, around 3.4 miles to the north-east, the nearest neighbourhoods to reach.

  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.
