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.
