Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2004Missing cat in Nashville, Tennessee
No, it isn't my cat that is missing. My boss's next-door-neighbor's cat has been missing for about a week. They have posters up on every telephone pole for several blocks around. The cat is a marmalade (orange-and-white) short-hair, missing from 492 Saddle Drive, in the Bellevue area of Nashville, Tennessee. This is about 1 mile east of Bellevue Mall. I don't have the phone number handy, and don't remember the neighbor's name, but if anyone lives in that area and has seen an unfamiliar orange-and-white cat, please get in touch with these folks. This street dead-ends into a large undeveloped tract, and coyotes have been seen in the Nashville area, so I hope that the cat hasn't been caught by one of them.  SignatureJohn F.

You might want to visit some of the sites that have tips on how inside cats that find themselves outside change their behavior, and maybe even print out some of the advice so your boss can give it to the folks missing the cat. Most people are completely unaware of how drastically a kitties behavior can change when it finds itself outside. Dan Big purrs from England that he will return safely.

Unfortunately, this kitty hasn't shown up. The posters are still in place, but rain and sun-fading have made them more-or-less illegible. SignatureJohn F.

Oh dear :( I'm sorry to hear this. -- > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > > Oh dear :( I'm sorry to hear this. -- I'm sorry, too. I'd re-do the posters and put them in those plastic page protectors (is there a reproduction of a photo of this cat on the poster?). I don't know, does Petfinder.com have a lost and found listing? Has he been to all the shelters/pound (don't forget to ask to see animals that might be at satellite locations; those that might be in the intake area (just came in and are in processing); and ask about any that are in the treatment area. Ask if the local humane society has a listing of all the rescue groups and if he could get a copy (that's how I found out about the rescue group that helped me find a home for Pirate). I'd take a poster in a page protector to every one of the rescue groups and to all the vets in the area that will let you put one up. I hope this helps. Purrs for the missing kitty and his family. Christine They also need to keep checking at the local shelters, since an owner can identify his/her cat more easily than shelter staff. --Fil > They also need to keep checking at the local shelters, since an owner > can identify his/her cat more easily than shelter staff. > > --Fil When Sam got out and was injured he was reported by the vet staff as a gray female cat. He was a registered lilac point Siamese. But with the bits missing and with him dirty and badly injured that was all they saw. These were the same vets that took him in and stayed up all night to get him stabilized without even knowing if they would ever find an owner. Really the only reason we went to look anyway was that friends of friends found him at the side of the road close to our place and took him to the vet. Jo |
