I took in a new foster on Monday night. She's a smushy faced blue and cream persian. She was all shaved because she had been outside all winter and really, they had no idea how long before that. She had just been trapped and was taken to the vet and spayed and given her shots. I picked her up and put her in the room I had Ally in (I put Ally upstairs in the other single room, and put Frankie Baby in with the other two kitties).
So, new kitty, who is as of yet unnamed (I've been calling her Sweetie and Princess), had been hiding under the bookcases in my library, and whenever I'd touch her, or try to anyway, she'd just flinch and growl and bolt to another area of the room. Once she was in the one window and she tried to crawl up into it when I approached her, so I totally backed away and she calmed down.
I knew she was scared, so I figured if I put some of the sweet kitties in with her, one at a time or two, she'd feel better knowing there were other kitties in the room. Last night I went to see how Autumn and Jorgie were doing with her in there, and when I went into the room, I saw Autumn sleeping in the chair, but no Jorgie. So, I'm looking under the bookshelves thinking Jorgie was with her there to make her feel more comfortable. Only, there were NO CATS under any bookcases. NONE!!!! I look up at the window, and see that the screen is torn away at the bottom and has been pushed out!! :eek: :eek:
I look out on the roof to the kitchen and don't see anything, so I run downstairs, and out onto the deck and there on the neighbor's roof is JORGIE!!! :eek: But there's no other cat there. I have no idea where Sweetie went. I don't even know if she left a long time before Jorgie went out the window, or was he following her??? He's so skittish himself, I doubt he'd break out the screen or just wander out alone. I did manage to get him back inside, but had to let him come in on his own, otherwise he would have bolted (he has the same kind of background as Sweetie does.. maybe he related to her in that way).
So, I've put her on Tabby Tracker and Lost and Pound, but I don't even have any pics of her. She was always in the corner and you couldn't see a darn thing except that she was shaved and looked really pathetic. I put out posters with a picture of a cat that has a face like her, but stated that it wasn't her face. I don't know what else to do. She's not friendly, she not going to reach out to anyone. I have no idea where to look. I've been all over the neighborhood, looked in all the nooks and crannies and nothing. I've talked to the kids in the area and they haven't seen anything either. I'm going to check the area vets and the Humane Society, but honestly, if the Humane Society gets ahold of her, she'll be PTS. They won't keep an unfriendly, feral cat. Heck, this Humane Society doesn't even keep great cats with potential. I call them the INHumane Society.
