Well we've all seen them... Lost cat on a sign.
But, on Monday night my husband, Chris, thought he saw the Orangie that was described on the sign. So out we went at 1:30 am with food, flashlight and carrier.
But, after 1/2 hour searching, no orangie.
The lost cat sign was now gone, it had been a couple weeks. So I thought, we need to put up our own sign:
Orange Cat Sighting.
And we put our phone # on it.
The man called and said DaVinci was declawed : ( and had been outside for a couple weeks now.
I told him we may have sighted his cat, and a lot of recoveries start with 'sightings'
Through the things I've learned on Cat Talk, and through the Siamese Rescue group, I told the man, who was very receptive, some things that might bring his cat home. ( you all had a part in this, in a way)
I suggested putting a article with the cat's scent on the porch, as well as an article of his clothing and some food. I suggested he get a trap and go to the area of the sighting. I told him cats sometimes follow a prowling circuit at night. And if he can't find his home, it's because he can't smell it.
The man hadn't tried much of anything except yelling for him. I said that he might be scared and not come to you.
I offered more help if he needed it. But got a call 5 hours later,
DaVinci was home!
:D :D :D
One of my adopters, who adopted Tira, had his 9 year Meezer show up right before they made the trip to FL to get Tira! Jannu, had been outside for over a month.
I had asked him: What are you going to do when Jannu comes home? And he had little hope of that. I said: They DO come home, skinny but they come.
Happy reunions!
Don't give up hope on your lost ones! (right, Donna?)
:p
