Black DSH cat missing from Leicester

[devilish_ushotmail]

Hows the search going? Never give uo hope - I lost my little Maggie last June and still looking - they are out there somewhere xxxxx

Sorry to hear your furbabe has gone AWOL. 

Here are a few things to try:

1. Posters, Posters, Posters ? can?t stress this enough the more posters and flyers the better with a picture and details with contact number.....hand out to neighbours and anyone you see. Put up in local shops, pubs and supermarkets. Stick to all local lamp posts. (If it rains go and collect them and replace - the neighbours and council don?t mind you putting them up so much that way). Also put one in your and friends cars ? it?s amazing how many people see them this way. Make smaller flyers and push through every letterbox on your streets and the surrounding area. Remember you can never have too many posters out there! It is also a good idea to offer a Reward ? of course this doesn?t have to be money, a box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers is just as good.

2. Knock on doors and ask neighbours to check their sheds and garages WHILE YOU WAIT ? it's surprising how many people say they will check but as soon as the door is closed they forget. It is recommended to knock on 10 doors either side of your house on both sides of the street.

3. Register him lost at all vets/catteries/rescue homes within a 20mile radius (remember to keep a record of everyone you contact) follow the link and click on the map to find your local rescues: http://www.catchat.org/adoption/index.html

4. Leave food out and a toy of his

5. Leave out an unwashed item of your clothing

6. Put the contents of your hoover bag on your garden - it?s full of smells that they will recognise and if it doesn?t bring him directly to your door will at least hopefully keep him in the area. Alternatively if you have a litter tray that has used put some of the used litter on the garden as this will have familiar smells in it.

7. Contact the local fire brigade and see if they have had to rescue any stuck cats

8. Ask the local children to look - they are great for knowing all the local hidey-holes and love helping. Also have a word with your local post-person and milk man if there is one that delivers in your area.

9. Ask the local radio station to announce he?s missing and give out a contact number

10. Put an advert in the local paper

11. Contact your local environmental services dept (bin men) they keep a log of all animals picked on the roadside ... I know this is not a pleasant call to make and hopefully it will come back as negative.

12. Go out after dark when it is quieter with a friend / partner and walk round the local area gently calling every so often (give him a chance to answer you). Keep talking as you walk round that way if he is in the area he will hear you.

13. When you talk to vets and rescues, ask them about any known local feral colonies and where they are based. If Kitty has been missing for more than a few days s/he might have wandered further afield and might be ?hanging round? near a colony for security (safety in numbers) and company. If vets/rescues know locations of colonies, these might be useful to get some ideas of where to start looking.

Finally have a look at these sites - they are all EXCELLENT

Good luck and stay positive.

Hopefully your little one has just got itself shut in a shed somewhere.


And finally ??. IMPORTANT NOTE: When you get your furbabe back remember to remove ALL the posters and inform all vets / rescues / websites etc that they are home.

So sorry your Fudge is missing - I do know what you're going through. Have you tried going out very late at night when it's all quiet, walking round the area and calling him? If he's nervous and a house cat I can't imagine he's gone too far. I assume you've put up loads of posters, posted leaflets, gone round the neighbourhood door-knocking etc.
Good luck and fingers crossed. Cats are very resourceful and have been known to come home ages after they've gone awol.

Please help, our Fudge is Missing? !!!

He is a neutered male house cat who's had all of his injections.

He has a little white patch under his chin and a large white patch on his belly. Although his head is completely black, if you look on top it looks like he has stripes. Sometimes when he looks too closely at things, his eyes slightly cross.

He enjoys running around and chasing things, but spends most of his time sleeping. He has a twin brother but Fudge is the larger of the two.

He is a house cat and will be very scared. He may be hiding in someones garden, shed or garage. He is a very nervous cat when in unfamiliar surroundings, but is very affectionate once he has gained trust in someone.

He fell from a first floor flat window and has been missing since Friday 8th September.

Reward For Safe Return.
