I'm sure your anxiety over Eli isn't helping you at work, Donna. We can only hope that he will come home, safely, very, very soon. Still praying hard in SC.
Come home, Eli!!!!

Come home, Eli!!!!
Donna, if I wasn't sick, I'd race right over and give you a huge hug.
Eli, please come home baby. You are missed so much!
Donna, I'm so sorry to hear little Eli haesn't come back yet. :( Good to hear have a nice neighbor who will look too. :)
No wonder if you're about to fall apart. You certainly don't need any "situations" at work on top of this!
Have you done the flyers? If there's a good picture of Eli, people may tend to look more - remember to put your phone no. too!
We'll keep our fingers and paw crossed here for you and little Eli. :)
Come out of your hiding, Eli!
Please come home sweet Eli!!!! Your mom misses you so much!!!
And we here at Pet Talk are awfully concerned too!!
I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this right now--and troubles at work--when it rains, it pours.
I will keep praying for Eli, until I hear he is home safe and sound. I'm glad to hear you have such a wonderful neighbor, and everyone looking out for Eli.
Donna, I know you may not want to do/hear this but...
why not GO to the shelters and check for your baby? So-and-so in the reception area may not know that a new cat was brought in or may have a different mental picture of Eli. It's worth a shot...:(
Pleeeeeeasse Eli, come home!!
Donna, I'm so sorry to hear that you're also very stressed at work too. :( Prayers and positive thoughts are still being sent your way for Eli's safe return. Please take care.
Hugs from the UK.
Have you tried ring around the vets. If someone has found Eli and thinks he is a stray, they might have taken him to the vets for a checkup. Worth a try.
Hoping Eli comes home very very soon.
Donna,
I am so sorry to hear you are going through all this. Today I caught, while chasing a fly, pawing at the screen....I was reminded of what you are going through. Thoughts and prayers are with you and Eli.
Yes yes yes! This method helped my friend locate her beagle/boxer mix which was labeled a pitbull and stuck in the far hidden kennels. Only luck allowed her to overhear a worker commenting on the "narrow face" on the new pitbull dog in the back. It was her pup, and she saved him! She never would have found him just using the phone.Quote:

Go in person if you can - take a picture along too - and don't just talk to the receptionist - be brave and be bold when dealing with the humans at the shelters! It is hard, but PetTalk prayers are with you!!!!
Hi everyone,
I took a ride to the police station tonight after work with a picture of Eli, just in case they pick him up.
I've worked with ferals for a long time and know them very well. Eli will not let ANY human get near him. He would always come to me for love :( on his own terms. I got a couple of crank calls from my flyers telling me they saw a cat matching his description dead in the road, then they'd laugh and hang up. :mad:
I don't know how much more of this I can take. I am both physically and emotionally drained. All I can think of is him hurt and hungry.
I put some food and water out in the back yard. I figure the goofy cat that was going into the trap is really hungry, so why not feed him? Maybe if Eli IS around, he'll at least have something to eat and drink. :(
I want my baby back so bad!!!! :( :( :(
It's really breaking my heart you have to deal with all this - not alone with the terrible fact that Eli is missing and the worrying about him, but also with your stressful job situation and these stupid people who give you these weird calls!
People can be so heartless and cruel! :mad:

Donna: I'm still praying really really hard that Eli will come home soon. I'm sure God is watching over him right now and will guide him in the right direction. Hang in there and don't give up. We are all here for you.
I am so sorry that Eli has not yet returned. I hope you find your baby soon.
Dear Eli please come home...your momma and all of us are terribly worried about you...
Hang inthere Donna. We are all praying for Eli's safe return
I am SO sorry that you have to deal with people like that!! It's horrible and they will pay for it later.Quote:

:( :( :(
I know as each moment passes it seems grim, but please believe me that everything can also change in a moments notice and Eli can turn up. You HAVE to remain positive for Eli's sake and for your own mental and daily well being!!!
We are all with you in spirit & will be praying for a quick return!
Shame on some people!!!! I'm still praying your Eli will return! I too am very sorry you are going thru this!
I don't know if this has been mentioned, but where did you originally trap Eli? Do you think he went back to his old stomping grounds?
This thread really breaks my heart. I feel so bad for you and Eli. I am still praying you are reunited soon :(
Oh Moosmom, I'm so sorry that Eli hasn't come home yet. Keep on and don't lose faith.
And I'm really sorry about those idiotic crank calls. Someday it will catch up to them. Do you have caller ID?
Eli, sweet baby, please come home soon!
{hugs}
It's bad enough that you are dealing with the stress of Eli missing and stress from work, but to recieve such cruel phone calls is just too much. Some people can be such idiots and I'm sorry that you have to go through this.
Still praying that little Eli comes home safe and sound very soon.
What goes around, comes around. Keep this in mind about the people who are making crank calls to you. Their day will come.
Just wanted you to know I will continue to pray and hope that Eli will be back with you soon.
I am so sorry to hear about Eli. I am praying that you will find
him soon. A little scared & hungry, but not hurt. I'm sure, as you
said, he must be very afraid. I'm hoping he didn't go far & is
hiding out somewhere close by, just waiting to hear a familiar
voice. I will keep you both in my thoughts & prayers. Please try
to hang in there & not give up hope. {{{Hugs}}} Liz.
p.s. As to the idiot calls, I too hate stupid people. They live such
lame non-lives they aren't worth another thought.
I will be praying for Eli's safe return. Cats have such a good sense of direction. It may take him a while, but I am sure he'll come home!
Aly has a good point! Go to where he came from and put up signs if you haven't already! When I left home, my cat disappeared. She showed up months later at my mom's.Quote:

Oh Donna. :( I'm so sorry Eli has gotten out. :( I haven't been around and when I saw this thread was long, hoped this page would have a happy ending. :(
You must be so upset, you poor thing. :(
We'll be praying he comes home soon. Maybe with the weekend coming up, he'll come around in the daylight?
COME HOME ELI!!!!!
Horrible, isn't it? I really don't get why people would do that ...Quote:

Eli came from Lansing, about an hour and a half away from here. Kimmy (Ramanth) is the one who caught him as he was trying to run into a drain pipe.
I'm on my way to work now. Tried to check the trap from across the parking lot with a maglight. It LOOKED as though the trap was still open.
I'll fin dout in a few minutes when I leave.
You guys are really the best!! I'll post again when I get home. Things at work are back to normal, although I kinda keep to myself. I just don't feel like "chatting" or "socializing" with anyone at work right now. They just don't understand.
Oh my goodness, just found this thread, you must be sooooooooo worried !! Hope Eli is found safe and sound SOON !!!
Still hoping and praying Donna. *hugs*
Donna, when you come home from work, take a nap for an hour, you must be exhausted. :( And then take another round looking for Eli at dusk or when it's quiet out there. Perhaps it would help if you could put a leash and harness on one of your other cats to take along. Both Eli and your other cat may recognize each other. You don't have a dog who could search, do you?
I so hope you'll find Eli safe and sound! Fingers and paws still crossed here. :)
Still hoping and praying for a safe return of Eli.:(
Maybe not, but we DO. You can come to us with/for anything!!Quote:

Donna, I will be praying hard for Eli's return today.
I am still upset over the nasty phone calls you have been receiving.
Tonya is right........all of us DO understand. Come here and pour your heart out. You know that we all care.
Kitties have gone missing for long periods of time and come back safe and sound, if not a bit skinny. You can always fatten them up again. That's what I did with Milo after 3 weeks (I think he got caught in soemone's garage)
Chin up, Donna.
Keeping the faith.

I checked the trap this morning. The same goofy black and white cat with the black nose was in it. I took the trap over to the food and water and showed it to him (someone had eaten some of it). I was seriously thinking of bringing him to the vet to get the dude fixed (if he isn't already). That'll be one less cat that can add to the overpopulation. I'm calling the Michigan Humane Society after I post this.
I know you guys understand. This place understands the stress Michele is under because of her Dad. But I only lost a cat, so I guess that doesn't count. Hummppphh!!!
I love you guys. This is the one place I can come, vent, cry, rant and rave and not have anyone yelling at me. You've been great friends to me and you'll never know HOW much that means to me.
(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))
P.S. I'm going to give trapping until Sunday night and then bring it back to the shelter on Monday. I also plan on putting food out every day. Regardless of which cat eats it, at least they aren't going hungry.
I'll keep you guys updated. You are THE BEST!!!!! ;)
Cats count. Because there is another species that gives so much love to us crazy humans.
Donna, we are with you.
:)

Don't be so quick to "give up" on the trap!
After all - it's hardly had a chance to snatch poor Eli -
what with Goofey grabbin the MidNite Snack every night! :rolleyes:
Good Plan with sending Goofey off to the White Coat for a quick *snip* -
THAT should keep him outta the Kat Snatcher for a night or two and
give Eli a chance to wander in for a bite to eat! :p
I doubt the Shelter has a more important *mission* for the trap -
I'm sure they will let you keep it as long as it takes to find Dear Eli!
Come ON HOME, Eli!!
Wow, Donna, I think Phred is right on the money.
Maybe Eli is afraid of Goofy and that is exactly what is keeping him away from food and the trap.
He might be hiding somewhere close, just watching his back side and staying away from Goofy!
Rest Easy, Folks ~
Lil Mr. ELI has wandered BACK HOME!! :D :) :D
Spotted by Mom from the parking lot --
CAPTURED, {{{Hugged}}}, and Returned HOME!!
READ ALL ABOUT IT >>>>
*** Eli's HOME!!!!! ***
OMG !!!:eek: What a relief!!!!!!!!!! :D :D
