"Missing Cat" Flyers delivered
Walked around the neighbourhood despite the 'flu to do a letterbox drop of
an A6 sized flyer (thats 1/4 of an A4) with Shadow's picture and my contact details on it. I met a few people, but although they were very sympathetic (even the big burley guy with the growling & barking rotties) no-one had seen her. Unfortunatley couldn't get to the front of the big retirement complex that has its back in our street to do the letterboxes there - by the time I'd done my street I was shaking & wobbly and dead-on-my-feet. What gruesome timing for 'flu. There's no roadkill anywhere, for which I am truly grateful. No 'found' ads in the papers, the RSPCA hasn't got her (as far as they know... not very helpful) and she hasn't been handed into the local vet. Thankfully she is chipped but I hadn't thought of getting a collar for her, now I really wish I did. One neighbour did try to cheer me with a story of her cat coming home after three months, no worse for wear, bless her, but there's that growing feeling that she's gone... Yowie -- If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones. |

Me and my crew are sending loads and loads of GYFBH purrs for Shadow.
I hope you will soon see a fluffy white Shadow occupying your doorstep. Hugs, Tish |

Yowie Mega purrs for Shadow and your flu. Collars often get caught in branches and fall off, so don't feel badly about not having one on her. Sonny loses his every few months. Bobble |

Bobble Persia stays inside but she often gets fits of "I don't want to wear this collar!" and I find it on the floor. Of course it's a breakaway collar but she doesn'd do that, she just yanks it off over her head. Cats are devious I hope Shadow comes back soon, Yowie. Jill |

Second, knowing that your situation there rspca/shelters could be entirely different, but I need to tell you what's happened before at our shelter phone call inquiries about missing cats. Once, the volunteer who answered the phone was just too lazy to get off her butt and walk to the other end of the shelter where the quarantined cats were there. We did, indeed, have the lost cat. Second incident, the caller asked about a "stripe" cat. The caller thought she said "white" cat and knew we didn't have any white cats. I guess what I'm trying to say is, from what I've seen, it's better to go to the shelter and look for yourself instead of relying on phone information. I really, really, hope you find her. Please keep us updated. Sherry |

I hope she shows up and you get rid of your flu soon, so you feel better both mentally and physically. -- Joy No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch. - Leo Dworken "Yowie" wrote in message ...

Please keep us updated. Sherry I would never rely on a phone call to a shelter. When our Sam was injured he had been taken to a vet just a short distance away. Their records said they were caring for a gray female cat. Sam was a neutered blue point Siamese but he was pretty beat up and they were more interested in keeping him alive and hadn't really checked out his details. In the interest of all good and kind and decent vets everywhere, and there are lots of them. Sam was hit by a car after 10pm. Someone found him at the side of the road and called the nearest vet. They came in and opened up and took him in. The vet stayed up the rest of the night taking care of him. Dealing with wounds and broken bones etc. That was a Saturday night. On Monday we heard from a friend of a friend about this cat that had been taken in to the vet the same night Sam disappeared. I had to go and look at the cat anyway, in spite of the description. The vets were on the hook for the cost of his care, the folks that took him in had not agreed to pay for it. I took them $20 every payday for a very long time. When my kids mess up I remind myself how glad I am not to be quite that stupid and broke anymore. That young with some money and good sense would be nice however. Jo |
