When you get him back you might think about putting a collar on, if he'll
let you, or if not, trap him up somehow and take him to the vet to have a
microchip in.


I use both for my crew (at least will, assuming Rocky keeps his latest
collar). If one goes missing, hopefully I'll get a call from someone,
either from the phone number on the tag, or if the collar has been
lost from someone who has scanned for a chip. I'll go for anything
that makes their return more likely.

That's the reason I put a collar on my cats, so they can never be mistaken
for a feral. BF arrived with a collar and lost it, and it took me weeks
to get him to allow me to put another one on.
One night he seemed braver than normal, and was on my armchair very late.
I stayed up until 3 a.m., but I got one on him in the end.
They cannot get strung up by them, they have an elastic insert.

What really sucks is this was all the day before I was going to take him to
the shelter (where I volunteer) to see the vet, get microchipped, and get
his annual shots. I bought a collar and name tag for him a couple weeks ago
and I've been trying to put it on him. I never really worried about
collaring him because he's never shown any interest in the door.

Kelly, it sounds like you're doing a lot of the right things to find
him --
I'd also suggest checking with your local shelters and take them flyers,
too. Purrs from us for your success in finding him!

Done, I'm also a volunteer at a local shelter, so I have a lot of people
on the case. I told the local animal control to contact me immediately
if they pick up a cat that looks like him (and I left a flier w/
picture). My fear is that they would mistake him for a feral and put him
down.

My little Antonio, a 1 year old semi-feral, has been missing since Monday.
The front screen door is broken, and we've been keeping it locked to keep it
secure so the cats can't get out, but one of us must have forgotten to lock
it. I had 4 (out of 7) cats get out. The others are all regular friendly
cats, so they got back in right away. Antonio was under a neighbor's porch,
and then he bolted and I haven't seen him since. :-(
I have 4 traps set around, have posted fliers everywhere, and have talked to
just about everyone in our condos. I wish I could at least see him! I am
worried sick. I can't sleep at night. Antonio came to me as a foster
kitten to socialize, but he became Bartleby's best friend, and I couldn't
separate them. He's made a bit of progress since he's been here. I can pet
him, he comes up on the bed with me and purrs. Of course, the past couple
weeks I've been trying to put a collar and name tag on him, but haven't been
able to.
I feel so awful that he's out there, afraid.



Poor little guy. We're sending our best get-home-NOW purrs to
Antonio, and nerve-soothing purrs to you. I hope he shows up asap.

Purrs that Antonio finds his way home. Purrs for you. I know what it's
like to have a missing cat and would not wish that feeling on anybody.
