Find out where all the animal "shelters" are in the area: Animal Control,
Humane Society, no kill shelters etc and visit them personally every day.
Ask the people at the shelters if there are other shelters in the area that
you don't know about. You can not just call. You have to go there. A
friend had a dog go missing for 5 days. She went to every shelter, posted
over 1000 flyers with color pictures etc and, thank God, the dog was found
safe and sound (although hungry). This is what you have to do to recover
the cats. Posting flyers on poles near intersections and around parks and
in fast food places helps. The media would be wonderful.
My prayers are with you. Dixie Louise went missing for a few hours on a
farm and I was beside myself. I can only imagine what you and, more
importantly, the cats are going thru.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Francis

Please bear with me here in writing this, I didn't know how hard it would
be to put into words.
I spend my weekends at my boyfriend's house and take the cats with me
(they love him and his dog, and I don't like leaving them). Monday
mornings I pack everything up including the cats, go back in to say
goodbye to Ed, and then drive the 20 minutes home.
This morning I loaded in my groceries, my school books, the cats, go back
in kiss Ed goodbye, grab my breakfast in a tupperware from the fridge and
go back outside to find someone in my car backing it out of the driveway.
The doors were unlocked, but there was no key inside it, so they must have
hotwired it. I ran at the car backing up, yelling, "hey" and "get out"
and banging on the windshield, I in fact, smashed the tupperware against
it, having no other weapons (eggs went everywhere), but they kept going.
I yelled that there are cats in there, but they didn't stop. Ed heard me
yelling and by the time I got back inside, he was on the phone with 911.
As indoor cats they don't wear collars, though both are microchipped.
They ride well in the car as long as they're loose, so they were loose. I
don't know which is more likely, them to get thrown out, or to be kept in.
Satch is probably talking the thief's ear off because he didn't get fed
before we left. I am so scared that they'll have been thrown out. Satch
is a big guy, was found on the streets, he can handle what is likely to
present itself to him, but the kitten....oh you guys, I'm so scared.
I would have thought they'd be a theft deterrant.
He threw my book bag out the window across from a nearby park, I have no
idea why that item of all that he could have (my overnight bag, grocery
bags, etc), and figure that it's God's way of saying that even through
this stress I still have to study. ha. Ironically the 20 lb biology book
was probably the most valuable item in the car, not that its street value
would amount to much.
Naturally, I've spent the morning searching that area to see if the cats
might have been tossed there, too, but haven't found anything. Satch
knows his name and comes to it, so I hope that they at least stay
together.
Pray that the police call ( I have Ed's cell phone, mine was in the car,
but maybe they'll be able to use it's tracking device to locate it ), and
pray that they have good news. Picture Satch and Beatrix oblivious to my
concerns and sleeping on the back seat, or hanging out on a nice porch
waiting for me to find them. Pray that they not be stressed, but get back
to me after a harmless adventure on their end. please pray that I see
them again and that they are unharmed.
Thank you all so much,
Leslie
