If I lived closer, I'd go look for him while you're working.

Please little Eli, hide safely, but be waiting on the porch when your momma comes home!!
{{hugs}}

Ditto!!!
You and Eli and the crew will remain in my thoughts until lil Eli comes home.

Eli, I sure hope you are nearby home/inside and hiding well.

Any updates yet ?

[Steffi N]

I hope with all my heart that little Eli is found safe.

(((moosmom))) I'm praying for Eli's safe return.

[feeling frisky]

Our prayers are with you. We pray that Eli will return to you safely. Donna, we can't imagine what you are going through right now. Think positive, never stop looking and remember he knows that YOU love him!! Have you tried to lay some food outside??

[moosmom]

I took an early lunch and looked in every nook and cranny of my house where he might be. I have such a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that he's gone . I walked around the the building looking in the bushes, the hallway that leads to the basement, in the alley. EVERYWHERE! I drove around the neighborhood calling his name and shaking the treat can.

I am so scared for him right now. The street I live on is VERY busy and I'm terrified that he's gonna get hit. He lived the first 3 months of his life with his mama as a feral. I'm worried that he's hurt, won't be able to find food or shelter.

It's my fault for not getting up and investigating the noise this morning!! I was going to but just thought it was the cats getting frisky. This is like a nightmare. I've heard stories about this happening but never THOUGHT it could happen to me.

I just want to cry!!!

I'm so sorry I'll be praying that he returns home safely.

Donna, I really feel for you! I'm getting emotional thinking about it!

If you don't find him tongiht, I would put up posters throughout your building and neighborhood. You should also check local shelters in case he was hurt and someone took him in. Most cats will stay in the immediate area, very close, when they are out of their natural environment. I still would put your scent our there to attract him (ie: sweatshirt) and some food.

Also, look at this website that has tips on finding lost animals:

But that is IF you don't find him tonight. You may very well get him home tonight. Keeping fingers crossed and keep positive!! Negative thoughts do nothing but eat away at the positive ones!!

OHHHH DONNA!! *HUGS*

Can you put out food and water for him near your door?

Oh, I do hope he comes back.

ELI... please come home.

[moosmom]

I'm going to the shelter tonight to see if they'll loan me a trap. I'm going to put it out in the back yard. The way my life is going, I'll probably trap a skunk!!!

[Vermontcat]

I hope you can find sweet little Eli soon!
Keep looking, hopefully he hasn't gone far or maybe one of your neighbors took him in.

[ramanth]

Donna..... on the upside, at least only one cat escaped. I couldn't imagine if half or all of your babies decided to go exploring....

HUGS

I wish you luck with the trap.

Oh no... I know how you feel, just not to the extent. My dog Samantha broke her collar one night last November and took a tour of the neighborhood. It was pitch black outside and we couldn't see anything until I called her name and she ran right in front of a speeding SUV - I saw the light glare her eyes. My family and I had to box her in and my brother carry her back in the house. I will never forget how horrible I felt - sick to my stomach, in tears... I'm so sorry you have to go through this. You and Eli are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope he comes home safe to you.

[Randi]

Donna, I'm so sorry to hear little Eli is missing. If he did fall and hurt himself, he'll probably be hiding nearby.

I so hope hope he's OK and waiting by your door when you get back from work! If not, the trap is a very good idea, and in the evening the area will be quiter I take it, so he may dare come out of his hiding - and he will be getting hungry.

Be OK Eli and give your mom a miaw so she can find you.

I hope you find him soon.

Just a bit of hope, a few weeks after we moved in this house Ripley escaped. He had never been outside before and like I said we had only been here a few weeks so I was very scared for him. We looked everywhere for two days and then finally my husband found him hiding under a row of bushes in our front yard. Like you, we live on a very busy street and our front door is only about 30 feet from the road.

Try to stay positive and don't make yourself sick.
