Hi. I am new to this forum. We had a friendly stray in my backyard who had kittens in someone else's backyard. We let Miss Pep, the momma, care for kittens in my yard. She became more friendly. We trapped, spayed, neutered all of them. Two kitties were adopted through friends and two were adopted through our SPCA. The winters are cold in PA and we never knew where Miss Pep was and it worried us. We built a cat shelter which she did not use. Long story short....my husband works with a man who owns a beautiful barn with animal loving caretakers who regularly feeds and cares for barn cats. We brought Miss Pep there thinking it was heaven on earth for her. Lots of safe 100 acres of farm land, lots of warm shelter and kind human interaction. She ate well, responded well to the caretaker and stayed in her loft space for 5 days. Now she has not been seen for 2 weeks! We are so upset. We have alerted nearby barn owners, local vets, township police, put up flyers, etc. no coyotes in the area. She is a cute, black cat who is very fast. I guess I am looking for emotional relief that she is ok and knows how to get back to the barn? Can anyone offer advice or encouragement. I have also been diligently praying for her safe return. If I thought she would take off, I would have figured out something else. How was I to know?
