Lil Eli is missing!!!

[moosmom]

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 !!!

[ramanth]

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!!

I'm crossing my fingers little Eli shows up soon.

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.

Hey Donna!

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!

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!

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!
