Cannot find my Zazou .... UPDATE!!!! SHE is HOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday 12 am
No Zazou yet...................:(



All my hope I still had, is going away rapidly now.... . Staying away that long, it just isn't my darling Zazou :(. My :love: is breaking.........


Thanks for the prayers dear Prayer Pups!!

I was waiting for you to post this morning Lut. I don't know what to say to help at all. There have been tons of greats suggestions and you have done them all from what I have seen. Don't lose hope. There have been animals that have gone of and come back weeks later when no one expected them to come home again at all. I hope that Zazou turns up or is found much quicker than that though. I know it is hard to keep your hopes up but she HAS to be somewhere close. I am thinking the same as most that she is stuck in someone's garden shed or the like. I hope to God I am right and she turns up. Try asking your neighbors to check their sheds and any enclosed places like their basements or crawl spaces under the house even ask them to check the trunks of their cars.


ZAZOU Beautiful baby girl....http://www.mmorpg-zone.net/forum/ima.../i_praying.gifplease please please if you can make some sounds, meow, scratch, knock things over...let someone know where you are. And if you are out on an adventure remember your mommy is worried sick...you need to check in and let her know you are ok. Come home Zazou please for the love of your mommy and everyone's sanity COME HOME!!!!

Lut, I'm so sorry Zazou still hasn't shown up, but don't lose hope! I think a walk around your area is a good idea - when it's quiet. Then you have a better chance of hearing her, and she may not be so scared. Perhaps your children can go and look for her also.

Posistive thought that she'll come home soon and she's safe.

I woke up during the night and said a prayer that Zazou will come home quickly. Try to calm your mind, gather your thoughts, and picture her walking through the door, calmly and confidently as though nothing has happened. If we can see it in our mind, we can see it in our lives. Picture it and even write it down over and over again. It'll help to put you in that mind set. Mega prayers going out for you, Lut, and for sweet li'l Zazou......

Lut, I am so sorry to read this! I do hope that she will be found soon healthy and well. (((hugs)))

More prayers and hugs sent to you.

Zazou... please come home. :(

Do not lose hope! Remember what I told you on msn yesterday (and has been repeated by Medusa here today).....

Lut, my heart breaks for you. I too, was hoping for good news this morning. I will continue praying for Zazou to return.

Above All Lut, Never Ever Give Up. My Moose Was Gone For Eight Weeks, But I Still Went Down And Looked And Prayed That He Would Come Home.
Actually Thats How I Found Out About The Porch Cats As They Were Eating The Food That I Left Out For Moose.
And Then One Morning I Looke Out The Back Window And There Was My Moose Come Home.
Our Pet Angels Are Doubling Thier Search And If You Were To Put Something That Zazou Loves To Eat On The Back Porch That Will Help.
We Know The Terrible Feeling Of Wondering, Of Not Knowing Where Your Loved One Is, And We Praythat She Comes Home Soon, Thats The Worst Feeling , The Not Knowing.

mmmmmmmmmm....As if I don't spend enough energy worrying about Bean when he goes out, now I'm worrying about a cat in Belgium :( :(

I can feel your pain and I'm so sorry you're going through this. I pray Zazou will come home!

ok...you have given a flyer to all the neighbours.

Have any of them been away since Zazou went missing? Could she be in their home or garage or something?

Have you called all the veterinarians? Sometimes found cats are turned in there.

Animal shelter? Does your town office have an animal department?

Try calling the vets etc again...or call if you haven't.

She may have lost her collar, so people who find her won't know who she is.

Is there a daily newspaper you could put a lost ad in? Local Radio? TV?

{{{{hugs}}}}

I have just seen this as I haven't been on the PC for a while...Zazou!! Please come home, I am praying she will return and she is in my thoughts along with the rest of the cats and your family. I will keep my fingers crossed.

*****HUGS***** :( :love:

Zazou, come home!!! :love::love:

I had a talk with all my kitties today & told them all about Zazou & how
sad her momma was that she went missing. I asked them to please help
in getting Zazou back home soon. Prayers she is found safe & soon.

Lut, I have looked up a few vets in Lochristi, as well as animal shelter websites and pets.be (I had to guess the email address).

I attached pictures of Zazou and am sending it out.

Now - with what we call Murphy's Law in North America, you JUST KNOW that after the hour of research, and setting up the email, and finding the right pictures to attach....that as SOON as I hit SEND, Zazou will come home like nothing happened! ;)

Could not find Dr. De Groot, Coene / Robert , Meeuws / Marijke/Dierenarts Meeuws / Marijke

But I got some others!;)

O Lut!!! I have just read the thread and hope that you will find you Zazou OR she will come home soon!! Prayers to St. Anthony and HUGS for you!!!!!!

Lut, I'm sorry I didn't see this thread until now.
Zazou is such a beautiful tuxedo girl, I hope she comes home soon.

Oh no! Have you tried posting a lost & found ad on Craigslist?

I hope you find your kitty.

The first thing I do when I sign in to Pet Talk is check this thread. I am so sorry that she hasn't found her way home yet. I will pray for her quick and safe return.

Still checking, still praying, still hoping, still sitting here with a broken :love:

Try not to give up, dear Lut. It's no secret what Pet Talk prayers can do! And you know they're being prayed in force!

Like everyone else, the very first thing I do is check and see if Zazou has came home. My heart breaks for you and I too pray that your beautiful Zazou returns safe and sound.:(

Mary

Prayers continuing for Zazou's return home.

I am hoping for Zazou's return. I check throughout the day just waiting for the good news.

Lut, I am praying hard for your baby Zazou. This is heartbreaking.:(

Like so many others, I keep checking in to see if our prayers are working.
Keeping you in my prayers and heart.

Yup, I immediately check the title of this thread to see if it has been updated.

Praying for Zazou's safe return, and some calming thought for you, Lut.

I'm so sorry to learn that Zazou is missing. This is the worst possible feeling but don't give up hope.

There have been great suggestions posted so far. I agree that trying to communicate with each household within a couple block radius is an excellent idea. Maybe you could keep a notebook with you and make a note of who was not at home when you tried knocking so you know that you have to try that house again the next day. You could post flyers on the doors of the people that are not home and make a note of their address and go back the next day. If the poster is still there, they haven't come home yet. It's very possible, as so many have already mentioned, that Zazou is trapped inside someone's basement, garage or shed. If someone went out of town the same day she went missing, she could be inside their house or outbuildings.
I can only imagine how dizzy you must be after all this searching and you must also be emotionally exhausted. But if you keep some notes as to what households you've talked with, then you can focus on the ones that you haven't connected with yet. It might help you feel more organized in your search.

I think searching for her in the early morning and early evenings will be good times because the traffic is quieter and will give you a better chance of you hearing her and her hearing you.

Don't forget to look up when your looking. Something may have spooked her and she might have raced up a tree that she is unable to get down from.

Like Catty1, I know of a person who's cat was trapped inside a vacant house that was for sale. She had somehow gotten into the basement and was discovered later on by the realtor. Are there any homes for sale in your area? Some homes are for sale and don't have a for sale sign out front. Maybe you could contact some local realtors to ask if any homes near yours are for sale?

I think Bengalz idea of bringing another one of your cats in a carrier with you is an amazing idea. Do you have a wooded area nearby where she and this other tuxie could be? If you bring your 'loudest' cat or Zazou's closest pal in a carrier, hopefully they will meow and she might come out to that sound. If she is really spooked, you could bring a lawn chair and a cat and just sit for an hour near a wooded area or park and maybe she'll come out.
Also, if her collar is caught up on something, and if she's nearby, she might call out to one of her cats if she hears them.

My other thought is one you had, perhaps someone has taken her because she is so beautiful. This would be awful, but if it is the case, perhaps you should write the word 'REWARD' on your flyers so people know that they will get some money if they return her. Also, a reward might inspire school kids to go out looking for her too. You don't have to put a specific amount on the flyer, just the word 'reward'.

That is good that you contacted the vets. If you can, drop off a flyer at each vet so that they can post it in their offices so their other clients can see it as well while they are in the waiting room. It could be that one of their neighbours has her, who knows. Also, as Catty1 mentioned, if someone has her and finds her soon and if she requires medical attention, they may bring her to a vet. Or if someone has catnapped her, they may take her in for an exam in the future and it would be good for the vets to have an actual photo of her rather than just a description.

Can you post an ad in your local paper? If so, you may want to put the word 'reward' on the ad too. Alot of times when people find a cat, the first place they check is the 'lost' section of the paper to see if it is missing.

When you're looking for her, if you bring a flashlight, you might be able to pick up the glare of her eyes. Even during the day if you're looking under cars or porches.

And as someone else said, clinking a fork on a tin of tuna might bring her out if she is able to come out. The clinking sound really carries and cats have amazing hearing so hopefully she could hear it from even a half block away?

It does seem though that she may be trapped inside somewhere and I think your best bet would be to keep a careful record of which houses you've spoken with and which you haven't. Even if you check with the people you have talked with a second time, it couldn't hurt.

Is she tattoed or microchipped? If so, don't forget to make sure the clinic that tattooed her or the microchip registry has your current phone number.

I know it's hard but please don't give up hope. I run a website for lost and found pets and so many people have been reunited with their cats, some 6 months later. One fellow let his cat out and didn't see her for 9 days. As it turned out, she was locked in his neigbhour's basement. She was hungry and thirsty but okay.
I know it feels like a lifetime but it's day two and with all the PT prayers happening, I'm sure you'll find her. Take lots of breaks and be kind to yourself and keep up the good search.

I am still watching this too, 20 tims a day I come check....

My RB Sambo was missing for 3 weeks and he managed to find his way back to me.. I remember it like it was yesterday and the pain and agony I went through, same as what you are going through. You are not in this alone! (((((HUGS))))))

Hoping and praying for Zazou's homecoming and healing thoughts for you Lut:love: Don't give up, as hard as that may be to do, and don't stop looking for your baby girl.

She needs you and you need her - keep the faith:)

Lut, I was hoping that I would read that Zazou was found. She'll continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers. Please don't give up hope. Please come home Zazou.

I was convinced that Zazou would be home by now :(

I am still sure that she will be back soon - let's hope for perfect gardening weather over the weekend so everyone opens their sheds!

I had a bunch of things to do this morning so I was late checking in. The first thing I didn't when I connected was come to PT and this thread. I woke up about 6:30 this morning and for some reason a feeling came over me like Zazou came home. I was so wanting to see 'She's Home' written in the thread title.

We are sticking with you Lut. You and Zazou are never far from our thoughts. Still praying and sending out good thoughts and vibes.


Come home Zazou!!!!


(((((HUGS))))))
Michelle

I keep waiting to see the "She's back home!!!" in the title. Oh, my heart is breaking with yours, Lut. Please let her just be having a longer excursion than normal, or if she is trapped somewhere, to be able to get out shortly and be back home with you.

So many hugs, good thoughts and prayers going out for Zazou to get her furry little butt home very soon!

I really hope that Zazou is just on a little adventure and finds her way home ASAP.

Fingers and paws crossed for her safe return. :love:

Day 4, lunchtime
Still missing ...... http://users.pandora.be/bernardgabri...yingsmilie.gif

Thank you everybody for your prayers! It feels so good to know that you all care! :love::love::love:

Dear Zazou, where are you sweetheart??? We have been looking everywhere for you, but no luck so far:(..... Please try to yell loudly when you hear humans. Wherever you are, try to get gome, please. Your mommy, daddy, the humans Indra & Jo, and of course your feline sisters are getting desperate. We all miss you soooooooooooooo much, dear Zazou!!!

I love you so much my darling Zazou

Zazou & me at the shelter, day 1

:(

I've been picturing Zazou walking in the door as though nothing has happened. I refuse to give up. (((Hugs))) to you. Hold the thought that soon we'll all be posting "Congratulations! She's home!".

Oh Lut, I was so hoping to hear that she was back home!:(

Still sending positive thoughts that Zazou will be home and safe soon! Poor girl! :(

Keep looking!

(((((Hugs))))

I was hoping to read something else today :(

Zazou, please, come back home now!!!!

Lut I know how you feel, my previous cat disappeared two times for several days (at least 5 days) and we thought we would never see him again. He was trapped in some neighbors' garage. I just want to tell you that you should not give up, there is still a big chance that she is alright. (((((hugs))))
