Please spare a thought for this baby....*update :)*

I was at Petsmart tonight to get the boys kibble. I noticed some ladies looking under the racks. I thought maybe a mouse had escaped. One had tears in her eyes. She works for the rescue group there and her 7 week old foster kitten escaped her cage. Her brotfur was sitting in his cage looking forelorn. She's tiny, gray and has half a tail. A customer said they saw her scamper into the stock room (figures!) I spent two hours on my hands and knees looking for the little one. Some customers made an attempt as well. The best lookers were about 4 kids that just crawled every aisle looking for her. Her foster meowmie says she's a hider by nature. We gave up and she went home to get a trap. There's obviously more than enough food at Petsmart for her to survive so I'm hoping she misses her brofur and will come back to the adoption area. Frankly, the employees were less than helpful. I asked them to make an announcement but that never happened. I also asked them to put a sign warning people coming into the store....also never happened. If it had been me I would have moved every pallette in the stock area until she would run out. Some gave a half hearted attempt but frankly on a slow Fri night I would have hoped for more.
Please give a thought to this poor scared baby spending the night in a big scary dark store. I told the ladies I'd come in at 9AM at store opening to see if she's been found. I'll keep you updated. PT prayers work wonders I know.

Awww, she'll be in our prayers.

PT Prayers for that little girl! I hope she comes back to her brother...

Definately prayers are on the way...poor lil baby!

I'm so sorry to hear this.:( I hope that she'll be found tomorrow. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

Prayers from Nebraska coming your way..................................

How scary for that tiny baby. Prayers for her safe and quick reunion with her brother.

Poor little girl. I hope she is found.

I thought all people who worked at pet stores would be pet lovers? Maybe not. Fools.

The employees may not have wanted customers to think that they're careless w/the animals there because if customers don't have confidence if the place, they may not adopt. Sure hope you find the scared little sweetie today.

Hope she will go into the trap so she can be back with her brother!

Is there any news about the baby? Many prayers are being prayed that she will return to be with her brother. Poor little sweetie must be so scared.

The Scary Thing Is How Invisible A Frightened Cat Can Be When She Wants To Be!!!!
The Pet Angel Search And Rescue Squad Is On The Job, And We Pray Soon That They Will Find Her Safe And Sound,
What A Shame It Is When Those Employees Are So Apathetic, These People Want Thier Pay, But Not To Have To Care.

:( Still no sign of the wee one. Her poor brofur is looking very lonely. Scary thing or maybe the GOOD thing is that there's plenty of food and water for her around. I'm worried that if she isn't found by Monday with deliveries and what not that she may escape or get hurt :( I know PT prayers are strong so please keep them coming..
BTW her name is Sterling.

If someone saw her run into the stockroom - why won't they let you and another willing volunteer look in there? Or at least put the live trap and food in there?

And these people operate a PET STORE??? I know they get busy - but there must be one person with a heart who can help out!

PT Prayers for little Sterling!

We didn't even ask permission ...LOL..we went in there and looked in every nook and cranny we could but there are hundreds of hidyholes for a wee one. If you know what pallets look like, they are scraps of wood that are stacked criss cross from each others to hold weight. She could be anywhere...we looked under machinery, inbetween animal food bags..she could be in a million places. Spent another couple of hours on hands and knees with flashlights and nothibng. Any suggestions would be of help. I figure she would have bolted to the far corners of the store...away from puppy training and noise in general... :( I'm so worried for the mite. ...
