We need prayers

[GILL]

I'm sorry to say that still no sign of her. So far 2 raccoons and a opossum have been relocated.
I just keep putting out food and water in the traps.

[phesina]

More and more prayers that she comes back, dear little tortie.

[AvaJoy]

She looks so frail, I hope she gets brave and goes in the trap for your sake and hers. I am also in NJ so will keep an eye out as I do TNR for the ferals/strays.

I also lost a cat on Memorial Day. I am at work right now so can't post photo but he is a robust adult neutered dark gray and white tuxedo male with ear notch. I may start a new thread from home so I can post his picture. Please include him in your prayers.

Prayers and come-home wishes for both Gill's cat and your cat, Avajoy.

[GILL]

I'm afraid that Dee Dee is gone. She was so thin and frail, I posted pictures and talked to all the neighbors. No one has seen her. I am returning one of the traps today, but the other I will still leave out.
So far the only ones trapped were 2 raccoons, 1 opossum, and this week end 2 skunks. All were relocated over 2 miles from here.
We thank all of you for your good thoughts and prayers.

[phesina]

I am so sorry.

Continuing prayers for Dee Dee, that she comes back to you or else is somehow safe and loved and cared for. And if she is at the Bridge, you know she knows how much you love her and will be waiting for you, One Fine Day.

I'm so sorry, GILL. Prayers for a miracle.

Look at your household and see all the lives you have saved and filled with love. You done good.

[GILL]

Thank you, but to have lost one like this is extremely hard. To make it worst I just received news that my first transport KOI was pts because of massive cancer. Not a good month.

Prayers and come-home wishes for both Gill's cat and your cat, Avajoy.

Thanks so much, Phesina.

Gill, don't give up hope yet. Cats are resilient creatures. They have been known to return after months (even years) have gone by. I have a book called Cat Miracles and it contains many stories of lost cats returning to where they were given love.

Thanks everyone.
I had to return the have-a-hart trap, but I still have the drop trap set up. I have rigged it with a treddle board that trips with only 6 oz on it. If she comes by I'm sure we will get her.

Gill, check out Dr. Lisa Pierson's comprehensive website www.catinfo.org about drop traps. Some can injure cat's tails. She builds her own and gives instructions on how to replicate hers. She shares a wealth of knowledge about cats and her website has become my cat care bible. I her.
