Need help. Missing Kitten =(

kteegirl24 · Apr 9, 2005

another sighting yesterday morning. A teacher at the junior high said that he didn't want to get my hopes up but he saw a cat going into the woods near the junior high with a face that looked just like my poster. He left a message on my answering machine (which I didn't get until today). He said that he wanted to call because his cat went missing last year and he followed every lead that he had so he wanted me to know. I thought that was really great. I put my trap up there near the woods so we'll see what happens. I'm sure I'll catch another racooon =) but we'll see. This is 2 miles from my house, but not far from where a cat of mine was found when it went missing about 6 years ago.

I'll keep you updated,but I do not have my hopes up.

KEEP those hopes up! You never know, this could be your kitty- I hope so anyway-

Really! Kt I had asked you much earlier where you lived as one of my brothers lives 1 hr west of Boston and has 6 kitties....so I didn't know if you were close. You never know! He said if you were even near him at all, he'd help.

Oh I hope your baby comes home soon!

kteegirl24 · Apr 10, 2005

Thank you everyone! Nothing in the trap today. I'm going to go to the school tomorrow and talk to that guy if I can. The pictures of everyone's kitties are SO cute on this site lol, i love it.

Elizabeth, I live about 20 minutes north of Boston, in Reading so I don't think I'm too close to your brother. That is so sweet of him to offer though!! thank you!

Keeping everything crossed for you that this time it is her and that you get her.

laceydf · Apr 11, 2005

Hooray for the possible sighting! Please keep your hopes up high, that this may be your kitty! Please let us know what the teacher says if you get to talk to him.

fingers crossed. your getting closer

kteegirl24 · Apr 12, 2005

I did talk to the teacher. he showed me exactly where he saw her which is where my trap is set up. So far I haven't caught anything, not even racoons, so i keep leaving it there. I don't check it until after school hours so that the jr. High kids don't get curious as to why there is a lady in the woods outside =)

He said the face looked very similar to my kitty. He mentioned that the stripes were really pronounced, didn't seem liek your average everyday cat. My kitty is a tabby, so she's pretty much as average as it gets as far as markings go, but who knows. I'm going to hang a poster in that area and I'm going by the shelter after work today to look in their book. I have been calling but will feel better to see with my own eyes.

31 days and counting =(.....

Don't give up hope!!!
Could you post some sort of sign/picture on the trap?????

ciera23 · Apr 12, 2005

Hang in there, I am praying for you to find him. I have my fingers crossed.

laceydf · Apr 12, 2005

me too! I'm here everyday, several times a day checking in on the progress.

Don't give up!!!

kteegirl24 · Apr 12, 2005

thanks for checking in!!! It's great to know that other's haven't given up for me too. The sign on the trap is a great idea, I wish I would have read this before I went there. I went and there was nothing in the trap but I guess some kids found it because there were all kinds of twigs and sticks inside and it was shut.. so I packed it up and went home. At least they didn't steal it!

laceydf · Apr 12, 2005

aw! silly kids...

I'll keep checkin back on everything! I'm leaving work now, so until tomorrow, I pray that tek comes come tonight or gets trapped and you can bring him/her home!!!

flisssweetpea · Apr 13, 2005

kt! I've just found this thread - I don't know how I missed it so far. I've read it from the beginning - I'm so sorry that your kitty has gone missing and the anxious wait you've had so far. I can't even imagine what you're going through - but I'm sending all the "kitty come home" vibes that I can for you {{{{{{{}}}}}}} and thinking of you

.

Be strong - I feel sure she will come home. She may just be responding to her natural urge to find a mate - once she has found one, I expect she'll just trot on home.

laceydf · Apr 13, 2005

any updates?

amy-dhh · Apr 14, 2005

I'm still sending out good vibes that Kitty comes home... I imagine how hard it is for you!

...patiently waiting for an update...

kteegirl24 · Apr 14, 2005

Thank you all again for keeping up with me!! No new news to report unfortunately. I took my trap back home as I was catching nothing but twigs from school kids up there and the food was not eaten. I have kept up with video taping. The black kitty that I trapped twice and scared to death, is back and eating again. I'm glad as long as cats keep coming because that shows it's a desirable location for food. The racoons were getting to it too though so i put it up on a table now out back behind my house near the woods. None of the shelters or vets have seen a cat like mine in the past month. I still have a couple more signs to hang and am going to pass out the "still missing" flyers this weekend around the 1 mile radius from my house. It's exausting having a missing pet, but i'm still missing her as much now (if not more) as the day she left and still wont' give up.

On a happier note- on the news last night I heard about a couple from (Ohio I think?) who got in a car accident in Florida and their dog was with them and bolted into the woods after the accident. They coudn't find him and of course had to go back home to Ohio and leave him there. They just got a phone call from someone from jacksonville who found the dog alive and well , read his tags on his collar and called the owners. He's home safe now! (he had been hit by a car in his travels but is ok).

I only wish my kitty had a collar or a microchip =(. On a not so great topic, there was a rabid coyote attack on a child in a town about 7 miles from me. The girl is okay, but I guess those coyotes are out there (although I have never seen one).

Any ideas of what to try next? Or just keep doing what I'm doing and hoping?
Thanks everyone!!

Thanks everyone!!

Someone had mentioned that some radio stations will sometimes put out an announcement for lost pets?
You are doing a great job with your flyers and telling everyone you know. The trap out there and the video is excellent ideas. Keep it up and don't give up hope!!! I am praying and praying for you to find her. Lots of prayers and positive vibes your way!!!

DONT GIVE UP!
