Hi
Tumbles our family cat has been missing since Saturday afternoon, she went missing in the Narre Warren area.
its very out of character for her as she is quite old now(she is about 17 years old)
although she is still quite fit and nimble but she is a creature of habit very reliable and always there
at food time, while she is very sweet and loves pats and scratches and kisses she would not let anyone pick her up
she can get quite grumpy if you try so she would not be picked up easily.
Please contact me if you have any information she has been with us since she was a tiny baby and we love her so much
our hearts are breaking

She answers to Tumbles or Tumby...............

Thanks...

What a pretty girl.

Have you contacted the vets and pounds etc? Have you put up a poster pic on the street poles and door knocked the neighbours? Maybe she is locked in someone's garage? I am sending you all the CW magic I can to have Tumbles home.

Go out late in the afternoon and early morning, call her , maybe shake her biccies or tap a tin ,then wait and listen ..often they are close to home but stay under cover in the day ..ask your neighbours and take leaflets around to put in the letterboxes if people aren't home ,ring your local vet, the pound, make sure people know where she lives...
Have a good look around your yard, ask the close neighbours to check sheds and garages.

I hope Tumbles comes home very soon. It is such a worry when your cat goes missing.
Love, Voula

Hope your gorgeous Tumbles comes home really soon. You must be so worried. I hope your beautiful old lady isnt too far away and will come back when she gets hungry.

Thanks for all the lovely warm wishes guys....
well she is still not back yet searched the house again in and out, went and saw all the neighbours and went in their yards etc..
just went and did a flyer drop and stuck some on poles and the milk bar so fingers crossed
I have also rang the Cranbourne animal shelter, the Pearcedale animal shelter, the Keysbourough animal shelter and also
the one in North melbourne... are there any others I can ring? any in pakenham...
I dont understand its just not like her...... so upset, Maybe someone cat napped her and dropped her god knows where
thats why i am trying all the shelters... anyone got any other tips?? or places i can ring?

Have you rung all the vets in your area? Many people take lost cats to the vet. Good luck, and don't give up, many cats have returned weeks and even months after they have gone missing, but I certainly hope yours comes home tonight. Keep trying, once it is dark and quiet your little one may hear you and may be able to answer your calls.

I also put a pic up on my front fence, it was amazing how many people looked as they walked past...and if there is a local noticeboard or a free local paper try putting an ad in ...

did you end up finding your kitty? how old was he/she? how long missing?

[fleabag]

Ruby was missing for a week, it was winter raining and she's a devon rex ..ie bald-ish, I actually found her by asking the Senior citz club to ask around and one of them had seen her in their yard. She was camping on their back verandah to keep warm. But it took another 3 days to catch her..she would answer my call but not come to me..sigh ..so I borrowed a trap from the local vet and my kindly senior cit..Joan..kept putting out small amounts of biccies and water but not setting the trap. Ruby was 4 at the time ..I was beside myself with worry..I door knocked, letterbox dropped and walked the streets in ever increasing areas. She was STARVING when she came home ..and ate for 3 days straight ...We have had fabulous success stories on CW ...don't give up on your girl..we wont!!!

[kat081]

I wont
she will come back to me if she can............

I wouId contact the local schools and see if you can put a notice and picture of your girl in their weekly newsletter.Also any elderly citizen centres.I hope she turns soon.Don't give up keep on looking .
