First steps if you lose your cat in Stafford

  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 Victoria Park, about 0.1 miles away, then Falklands Memorial Gardens, about 0.2 miles, and Rowley Park Pleasure Grounds, about 0.7 miles out.

  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 Sow, about 0.1 miles from the centre, and the edges of Stafford Common, around 0.9 miles away.

  3. 3

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

    Tip from locals

    The A518 and A34, about 0.2 miles from the centre, and the M6, about 1.6 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 Derrington, about 2 miles to the west, and Acton Trussell, around 3.2 miles to the south, the closest 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.
