Missing Kitten

Posted: Nov 20, 2009

Need advice. My daughter's 7-month old kitten managed to knock loose a corner of a window screen yesterday morning and jumped out! Needless to say, I was home alone, working in my office, so I figure she had about a 2-hour head start before I realized what had happened. Been all over the neighborhood, have many neighbors on the lookout, but no luck yet. We live in an area that has many potential kitty hiding spots (woods, etc.) I'm at a loss and feel horrible not knowing if she is safe or coming home. Any suggestions would be helpful. TIA

I had this happen a long time ago with a feral kitten that I had in the house. I put out food and he came back the next night and I was able to get him back inside using a can of Fancy Feast.

If the food doesn't work on its own, you might look into getting a live trap.

Good luck!!!

flyers, call vets in the area, visit animal services... - clunybrown

I know you've got several neighbors keeping an eye out, but following up with flyers with a picture of the kitten couldn't hurt, posting them around the neighborhood and leaving them in mailboxes. I would also leave these flyers at near-by vets' offices and make a visit to your local animal services. She probably didn't go far. Good luck and keep us posted.

How about an update? - Happy MT Robin

Any luck on getting the kitten back home?

Don't give up. My daughter's kitty disappeared and we did the vet, pound, neighbor routine. No luck. Then about 3 months after that I went to pick up grandchildren, we drove by a house 1 block down from my daughter's house and there she was sitting outside on a porch like she owned it. She was well kept, well fed and had a new collar on. My granddaughter called to Pumpkin, she remembered and came running. She was a gorgeous yellow and white with a huge puffy tail that everyone always commented on. Quite spectacular. I don't know if the people had kept her on purpose or just took her in as a stray, but we sure as heck took her back. I called daughter at work and she broke down in tears. She had given up.

Keep looking and if all else fails hope someone who loves kitties has her in under their care.

Just a quick update. No sign of Evie, the missing kitty. She's been gone for 4 days now, and though we've tried everything (calling shelters/vets, putting food out, searching the neighborhood)--no luck.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'll certainly keep searching for her!

Can anyone give me some help please...we have a cat who was dropped off out here in the country and was pregnant.

Just wanted all of you who responded to my post and were so kind after the death of my cat on Sunday that we have a new addition to the family. I decided to look at our local pet store yesterday on my lunch hour. It must have been fate. I was looking for a tortoise shell kitten (I've always loved the colors) and one was just brought in within a half an hour before I got there. The woman who brought her in was a foster mother to her and her brothers and sisters. ...

the kitten was really a stray that came from my mom's and was living in my garage, but I had been feeding it and it was starting to be a little bit friendly, and it was really cute. Every time my dog saw it he would chase after it and bark but I never thought he'd really hurt the kitten. Last night he grabbed it and shook it and broke it's neck. I picked the poor thing up and held it while it died and told it I was so sorry. I'm so mad at my dog and I ...

We have kittens :-) We don't know exactly when they were born but their size is that they sit on the palm of my hand. We know they are at least 4 weeks old, maybe 5 or 6. They are running around, bouncing, wrestling with each other and just little balls of energy. We're are learning which ones are the trouble makers :-) My question is they are still nursing from the mom. A couple have shown interest in eating kitten food from a can, which is what we ...

We have an 8 y/o dog named Spike who never leaves our 3 acres. Ever. He just is a homebody. Lately, a red pit bull female has been coming up in our pasture to see him. Now, we haven't seen him since Saturday night. The pit bull is back at home, 2 doors down, and her owner says he hasn't seen Spikey. We weren't home yesterday morning and our other neighbors said they heard gunshots at the pit bull's house. I'm sure hoping he didn't shoot my baby ...

I grew up going to church and Sunday school from infancy until I graduated high school. Sis and I were episcopal until about 4th grade, then started going to a Methodist Church til high school, then catholic services. I consider myself of the Methodist faith because I agree with more of their beliefs than other. Many many years ago my sister was visited by a couple of young men (not Jehovah) who talked to her of their faith and so she switched. No big deal to me. It ...

I'm having a bad day. I hate birthdays, just mean that I'm getting older. The bloom is off the rose. Glory days far behind me now. Happy as a mom, though. My cat has been gone for three days and I'm not having a good feeling about his return. Don't know how to tell my 10yo of Pete's possible demise. Then, a simple cheese cracker breaks my tooth -- nice. Just gets better and better. I sort of feel like working to take my mind of ...

Okay, so the parents think this child knows what she is doing so they let her sail around the sea, BY HERSELF???? What is good gawd's name is going on in this world. The girl is a child for pete's sake. She hasn't even graduated high school, not onld enough to drink, just old enough to have her drivers licence and they let her go out to see all alone??? Trusting your child is one thing. We're talking about the ocean where even the most experience ...

I could use some positive thoughts and advice, and since I work at home as an MT, and I'm antisocial (by necessity, almost), you ladies and gents are the closest thing I have to friends and coworkers.

Since I was the dummy who let the cat slip out (I didn't even know she was gone until morning) it's been pretty unbea ...

-run media, which said he gave his condolences to the family of a long-time Communist Party official who died last week." Not to say he's actually alive, but this reminds me of when our Vice President Dick Cheney simply disappeared from view in October 2001, a few weeks before passage of the Patriot Act in November 2001, and reappeared at the State of the Union Address in 2002. The official story was that he had gone to a "safe place" during a time of national emergency. Media speculation ...

work a Sun-Thur schedule and I never get to go to church on Sunday morning. I was wondering what other Christian MTs do for fellowship who have to work on Sundays. Do you go to Sunday evening services? Basically the only day I can attend church would the Sunday evening service. I work days on one job and I work Monday through Friday 3p to 11p on my other job which means no midweek service for me, unless I sneak away, but now that it is softball season, I'm already sn ...

I have listened to commentators, lawyers and jurors in Casey Anthony case and I am unable to understand how if a child goes missing and it is not reported this is not abuse. Wouldn't the primary person providing care for a child need assistance to look for the child at a certain point and if that person didn't get proper help from authorities in a timely manner and the child was harmed or killed would that be neglect/ab ...
