Local advice for North Essex cat owners

Roman town old walls

Cats in the city centre near the ancient Roman walls may explore the raised walkways. Ensure garden boundaries near the town walls are secure.

Mersea Island tides

If you live near Mersea Island, be aware that the Strood causeway floods at high tide. Keep cats securely indoors during tidal flood events.

Cats near Highwoods may encounter foxes and woodpigeons. Keep microchipping current and ensure your cat is home before dusk.
