There are a LOT of feral cats in our complex. We currently have 4 indoor cats of our own. We have a very nice sized place to keep them. However, no room for any more until we move to our house in September. With all of the feral's here, and the new kittens always coming around, we decided to work with the Humane society in getting them all spayed and neutered.
As the time went on we fell in love with two sibling girls. We named them Wash and Kaylee. Truly the sweetest babies. Very shy, weren't really coming to the hand, etc. After months of feeding them and playing with them we were able to catch Kaylee and have her spayed, shots and tests done, worm meds, etc. All of it. She was still in need of leg surgery as she had a fracture. We were going to have it done in two weeks, along with her microchip. Sometimes financially, we can only do so much at once. Especially considering 2 of our indoor babies are sick at the moment, one with IBS.
Anyhow...we brought Kaylee home and she slept in the crate the night after her surgery. We couldn't let her roam in our home because of our other cats, and we couldn't keep her on our 3rd story balcony as she kept trying to jump over. Yikes!
So, we did what we had to...we took her back to the vet for housing. She stayed 2 days.
When she came home she was amazing. She not only wanted love all the time, but she would come to my door and ask to come in. She would help herself inside my place and she was just addicted to me.
She came home Sunday night, and was home for several days. The last time I saw her was Thursday between 12:30-1pm. I went down to feed them at 5:30pm and only Wash was in sight.
It's very possible that SO many things could have happened and not knowing is killing me. It's not like her to stray, not at all, and I am more devastated than I thought I ever could be.
Wash is so lonely and my heart is so broken. I put up a flyer by the mailbox set up with her photo and info, and my number. I've been looking at the shelter database for new cats arriving and called my 2 vets to be sure to keep a look out.
Tomorrow I will call every other shelter I can and maybe some vets, too.
However, I feel like she is not coming home as she is NOT the type to stray at all. She's 6 months and she only was gone 1 time when she was realllllly young. It's when she hurt her leg originally and she couldn't walk. However, her mom was feeding her back then so I didn't have to worry.
I feel like she was transported somewhere. And I don't know how to handle this situation. Every time I look at Wash I just get really sad. I'm crying right now as I type this. I love that little girl, and I miss her being in my arms.
