First steps if you lose your cat in St. Austell

  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 the Alexandra Road Allotments first, about 0.6 miles away, then Caerloggas Downs, a larger open space at around 2.2 miles.

  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 White River and the Gover Stream, both within 0.4 miles, where bankside growth gives a cat somewhere to lie low.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A390 and A3058 are within about 0.4 miles, so these busy roads may keep a scared cat on one side; ask neighbours on each side to open sheds and garages.

  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 Saint Blazey, about 3.7 miles to the north-east, and Nanpean, around 3.9 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.
