First steps if you lose your cat in Rugby

  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

    Start with Caldecott Park, about 0.2 miles from the centre, then Mill Gardens and Lansdowne Allotments, both about 0.9 miles away.

  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 banks of the River Swift, about 1 mile from the centre, and the edges of Newbold Quarry Park, around 1.1 miles away.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A426 and A428, both about 0.1 miles from the centre, plus the M6, around 2.5 miles out, often keep a scared cat on one side, so ask neighbours on your side 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 Long Lawford, about 2 miles to the west, and Dunchurch, around 2.7 miles to the south-west, the nearest villages to share it in.

  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.

How does PawAlarm help if my cat goes missing in Rugby?
