On the 20th July I saw a post on the national pet register about a kitty who was missing ... so I sent the list of hints and tips.
Two days later I received the following email:
Good Evening
Thank you for all useful information, done the vets, neighbours, notice in paper, notice in paper shop, notices on poles every where, walking round the sports field and woods every day twice a day, doing the same at night and 2 a.m in morning, asked children, posters through doors down our road the road at the back (where there is 19 year female brown tabby missing same time and we are in touch), rang the council where they keep animals they find on roads in a freezer. Will follow up some of your other suggestions we have not done yet.
I think she has been taken by some one.
Pheobe belongs to my 81 year old neighbour who is very upset. She is thinking about a reward.
A neighbour over the road thought she saw her and we have a CPL trap complete with food for the last 24 hours, so far nothing.
Many thanks for getting in touch.
Kind Regards
Linda
I have been in contact with Linda a couple of times since July and there had been no news or sightings of dear little Phoebe ... until tonight when I received the following email:
Good Evening
Little Pheobe was found by her owner (Joan Fenemore) in a garden the other end of the road (where we have looked many times). Joan was driving by and saw her walking down the lane towards Nationwide. She is very thin and seem very glad to be back home. She seems very tired and weak also very hungry, so whether she was locked in some where or just making her way home we do not know. (there is a fortune to be made for a package that translates meow into english).
She is going to the vet tomorrow to make sure she is ok and to be microchipped.
How long do you think she should be kept in before being let out again? Any advice gratefully received. If she was mine I would not let her out for six weeks but I think Joan is going to let her out soon.
Many thanks for your kindness.
Linda
So for everyone with a missing furbabe please do not give up hope.
