First steps if you lose your cat in Royton

  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 Tandle Hill Park first, about 0.7 miles away, then Stoneleigh Park and Chadderton Cemetery, about 1.2 and 1.3 miles out, where a cat can hide quietly.

  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 overgrown banks of the River Irk, about 0.5 miles away, and Plumton Clough, just 0.2 miles off, where a frightened cat can stay low.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A627(M) and the M62, about 0.8 and 1.9 miles away, tend to keep a scared cat on the town side, so ask neighbours there to check sheds and cellars 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 Shaw, about 1.7 miles to the east, and Lees, around 2.8 miles to the south-east, the nearest neighbourhoods.

  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.
