First steps if you lose your cat in South Hayling

  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

    The nearest green spaces are Milton Common and Milton Locks Nature Reserve, both about 2.8 miles away, so search your own street and gardens thoroughly first.

  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 Dip Rithe and the Church Road Drain, both about a mile away, where cats can move unseen along the water.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A3023 road, about 0.4 miles away, and the Chichester Channel, around 1.8 miles off, can box a frightened cat in, 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 North Hayling, about 2.5 miles north, and Itchenor, roughly 5 miles east, the nearest neighbourhoods to spread the word.

  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.
