Lost Cats Brighton urge people to look out for missing cats

Lost Cats Brighton was set up in 2000, with the aim to help rescue, reunite and rehome cats in the area.

The charity offers a lost, found, and reunited register where people from Brighton and Hove, and surrounding areas, can report any missing cats.

This information is then shared via its Facebook page and website, asking for people to get in touch with any potential sightings.

During the warmer weather over the past few months, the charity has seen an increase in people reporting their cats as missing.

Trustee Jo Hathaway said: “Cats like to stay out more as the evenings are lighter and warmer.

“The risk is that they can get locked in sheds and garages if people are in their gardens more. 

“Luckily a lot of cats return within a few days but sadly some don't.”

The charity offers a range of advice for anyone who has lost their cat including asking neighbours to check gardens, sheds, and garages, and putting up posters for those not on social media.

They currently have a number of cats on their page still looking to be found.

This includes Noodle (pictured below), a young black cat who has been missing from Belton Road in Brighton since May 15.

Keats is one of the cats currently looking to be rehomed. He came to the charity after being found by a member of the public. He is described as an "incredibly handsome" and "friendly" cat, looking for a home with a garden.

They also urge people to support its Facebook page, as well as following the charity's other social media sites.
