Please help me find my Cat.

Thank you so much everybody, I have River listed in lookformycat.com now xxx

Hi Lisa,

I'm very sorry to hear about River going missing. Here are my tips:

* Petsearch is a service for people who have lost a pet. They have a website where you can list River as missing. They also have various other services available. The costs start from $10 for a basic service. The website is www.petsearch.com.au

*Try calling radio stations. Even if they won't do an on-air announcement, many radio stations have a "community switch", and will take your details and a description of your cat. If anyone calls to say they've found a cat, they will put you in contact.

* I would recommend that you keep calling the pound, or better yet, keep going in person to see if River is there. Often record keeping and communication in pounds is not very good, so it pays to go and see for yourself if he is there.

*Call local councils to see if a ranger has picked River up.

* When my cat went missing, I called the Council and asked if any dead cats had been picked up from the road. Although this was a horrible thought, I would rather know if something happened to him than always be wondering what happened. Thankfully my cat was just stuck in a neighbour's garage for a few days - I heard him meowing and got him out! I hope River is OK, too.

All the best,
Kathleen.

I forgot to mention, you can also place a notice in the Classified of your local paper, and check the papers daily for found animals.

It's also a good idea to go outside, maybe walk around the neighbourhood with the cat's favourite food, calling his name. He may have been spooked by something and could be hiding under someone's verandah, in their garage, etc.

Here's a webpage with lots of good tips:

Please let us know if you find him!

Thank you so much, yes I am continuing to ring pounds and the vet and I take in all the advice I can get.
I will definately let you all know WHEN my baby comes back.
