5082.0. "LOST CAT IN MANCHESTER,NH" by SALEM::HEDGES () Tue Nov 26 1991 15:29

    My cat, Boaz has not been home for 7 days now and hoping by chance
    someone lives in the area of Valley and Jewett Sts. in Manchester,
    NH and might have seen him or might have a clue as to his whereabouts.    
    Description: mostly grey, long hair, some white on face and all white
    belly, white paws.  
    I've placed an add in the Manchester paper, knocked on doors, thinking
    he might have got into someone's basement, called the Manchester 
    shelter.  I will be putting up pictures of him around the area in
    the local stores.  I really miss him and hope he comes back home!

    I hope your Boaz comes home soon.  Often cats are away for
    longer than this.  Please let us know how things are going.
    Another thing to try is leaving copies of your posters with your
    neighbors, including your phone number, and alerting the local
    children.  Also posters to local vets' offices.

    My heart breaks for you...but all fingers and paws are crossed.
    You might also want to go directly to the shelter and take
    a look around yourself.  Many times when a person describes
    their cat...there are many cats that might fit that description.
    
    There are some success stories in this file about finding lost 
    cats after months...so please keep your hopes up!   Keep us posted....

    Nancy,  I live around that area, I will keep my eyes open.  
    
    Another thing you could do is ask the neighborhood kids, there are
    alot of schools around that area.
    
    Good Luck!

5082.6a success story!CIMNET::GLADDINGNoters do it with a 8-)Wed Nov 27 1991 11:2321
    My friend, Kathie, just went through what you're going through.
    Her indoor-only kittie, Callie, snuck outside one day, and they
    went through putting ads in the paper, telling the neighborhood
    kids, checking the neighbor's garages/basements, etc.
    
    A whole month went by.  One night Kathie pulled into her
    driveway, and THOUGHT she spotted Callie.  When the lights
    shined on her, she ran away.  The next day, she put a cage out
    and within two days after that - she caught Callie!!
    
    Callie was a little thin and ragged - but pretty much in 
    good health.  Boy, was Kathie glad to find her baby!!
    
    So, don't give up hope!  And the cage idea might not be a 
    bad one.  Some kitties that aren't used to being outside might
    be very disoriented, and don't really know where home is.
    Callie knew what food was, though, and was able to be trapped
    and reunited with her family.
    
    Hoping for the best,
    Pam
5082.7I'll watch for her, tooWECARE::GERMANNWed Nov 27 1991 12:3310
    Nancy,
    
    I am often in that area.  I'll keep a look-out for her, too.
    
    When Madison first came to us, she disappeared more times than I could
    count.  We always found her through the found ads in the Union Leader.
    
    Sure hope she comes home soon.  Our thoughts are with you.

    something.......

    Putting food out might be a good idea, although you couldn't tell if it
    was Boaz or some other cat or animal eating it....
