Our Butter is missing

[sasvermont]

Logan, years ago, I had a kitty that ran away when I was "ski bumming" in Aspen Colorado. She was gone for over a month. She did have tags and when someone finally got a hold of her because she was so starved and ill, they took her to a vet and I was called. She recovered (she didn't ski much after that) and lived to be 21!

So don't give up hope.

Butter may be hanging out in someone's garage. Who knows.

Right now, Juni-get-down is outside, on the lamb, again. She appeared for a moment this morning but then took off again. She escaped (pushed open a badly secured door) yesterday. I hope she comes back today, before I head off to work at noon.

Once a kitty needs to be outside, there isn't much we can do to MAKE them come home.

Lucy, my black barn cat, goes outside but always comes in when I do!

Come home Butter, your Mom is worried.

Logan, I'm so sorry to hear that Butter is still missing. I'm sending lots more prayers and positive thoughts his way. Please come home Butter we all miss you!!!

[MoonandBean]

Still thinking about and praying for you and Butter.

My very first kitty, Sugar, was gone once for over two weeks. I was beside myself - wandering the neighborhood calling for him.

It was into the third week and I saw him - called him and he came right over to me. I was sobbing - it was a wonder he came to me.

I think he was just enjoying the freedom and Spring!!

Butter - get your little bum home - Mom is so worried about you.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'm so sorry, Logan. I can only imagine how your family has been feeling this past week. Thoughts and prayers on their way!

Butter, please, please, please come home soon.....

[katladyd]

God, please help dear Butter find his way home. His family is so worried about him and very sad.

Zoe, that is one of the best pictures I have ever had of Butter. Those blue eyes were shining brightly, weren't they? I'm so glad you had the opportunity to meet both of my sweet babies, Butter and Mimi. And now they are both gone.
We will keep our faith and pray for Butter's safe return, but it is hard. Thank you all for your support and prayer for him. I think we also have to pray that if he has died that he did not suffer. Dr. R and I were talking about it this morning when I had Honey at the vet and he said it is so common for a cat like Butter to choose to go off alone when they become old and/or sick. He reminded me what a good mom I had been to Butter through thick and thin and all we had been through with his skin problems and bad "cattitude". I know all of that, but I'd much rather have my grumpy old man back at home or at least know what became of him.
If something changes, I'll be sure to update here.

Continued Purrayers that the lil MuttKat wanders back home - soon.

How well have you searched at the Golf Course?
Any chance he got trapped in an out-building? Maybe where they store
the golf carts or the maintenance & mowing equipment?
(He might be hanging out nearby 'cause of the BIG Sand Boxes they have.)

Come on HOME, Butter!

Some things come to mind, and forgive me if I am presuming these were thoughts that you haven't had.

Get neighborhood KIDS involved. Us adults are usually so busy doing too many things to really focus. The kids love to help, and can be the eyes and ears many times over.

Re-poster, re-call, revisit the clinics/shelters and any place you might have put up a flyer. People 'see' but don't really see the same sign day after day. Put up something new and fresh- throw out the reward and 'needs meds' words.

Remember that Butter might be 'hiding'..and dusk and dawn are key times for spottings.

Finally, if there are other homes in your community that have indoor/outdoor cats...go to their houses directly. First, you have their sympathies as a cat owner and more importantly...they would know if a strange cat has come to their door/window.

Good luck. Butter, PLEASE come home.

And don't forget to include the Postal Person and the Paper Delivery Person -
anyone who visits a lot of homes and businesses in the area.
UPS and Fed-Ex drivers are good spotters, too.

Logan, I'm so sorry to hear that Butter still isn't back home yet.
I was really hoping that he would show up again or that someone would find him over the weekend when more people are home and doing yardwork.

I know what a special boy Butter is and I am so lucky that I got to meet him a few years ago when I came down to visit your area.
Here is a photo I took of him during that visit for those Pet Talkers who may not have seen many pictures of him.

I'm thinking of you and hoping that he finds his way back home again soon.

[Catty1]

Butter, come home, sweetie!

[cassiesmom]

Please come home, Butter!

More Prayers from the Found Cat Hotel for Butter!!!
And Our Pet Talkers Search and Rescue Squad is on the job, trying to find him by laying out dishes to lure Butter home
We are praying that Butter shows up soon.
