Lost cat - West Auckland

[Mully]

How old is he?

He's about 4 years old. I'm ignoring the red paint comment....

We're organising a neighbourhood search this evening (when we get home). Hopefully he'll either be at home when we get there, or we'll hear his miaowing during the door-to-door thing and be able to let him out. None of the local vets, SPCA, Animal Welfare, etc places have seen him, but he's on all their lists just in case.

I know just how you are feeling. Our cat went missing for 8 days, was a horrible time. If he went missing in the weekend he could possibly be locked in a neighbours garden shed, garage etc. We think this is what happend to our cat. Seen as he is particularly nosey he may he wandered in and got locked in. Maybe see if you can get your near neighbours to check around?

Have you tried looking on Trade Me in the Pets Lost and Found? Also there is a website www.petsonthenet.co.nz which has a big lost and found section for cats & dogs.

Good luck with your search

Bump for those Westies going home soon.

Thanks for the well wishes/advise people.

Hi all,

It seems Jess got hit by a car yesterday afternoon. He was picked up by a lovely lady and taken to her home in Green Bay for safekeeping until someone went looking for him.

Thanks for all the kind wishes and advice, and a giant Fuck You to the person who hit him and drove off.

glad to hear you have found him kudos to the person who took him in ...


Edit: your post is not clear regarding jess's condition ...

[janno]

Oh no - you mean hit and killed? I'm really sorry to hear that if it's the case. Your post is not quite clear - I hope I'm wrong.

Bummer. Condolences, etc. It's a sad time losing a member of the family.

That sucks dude! You always know when there's something wrong with your pet and you obviously knew eh! Sorry to be so blunt but was he killed?

[Mully]

Hi all,

Just re-read this and realised I was unclear above.

Yes, Jess was hit and killed sometime early Monday afternoon. The lady that picked him up said he wasn't there at lunchtime when she went past. She could tell he was looked after and wanted to make sure we got him back.

She also reported him to Henderson Valley Vet (about 500m down the road) as soon as she got him, who told us that they hadn't heard anything, so good work, you morons.

I guess he crossed the road one too many times.

Thanks from Miss Mully and her brother and myself to those offering condolences. I can't believe how cut up I am over a cat. As cats go, he was a nice one.

And if the motherfucker who hit him reads this; Karma will get you for not stopping, and you better hope Karma gets you before I get you. Accidents happen and he must have run onto the road, but you could have stopped you prick.

Oh Mully, so sad to hear about this.

I'm very impressed with the lady who picked him up and took him home, knowing you would be looking for him. Good on her - she did all the right things.

RIP Jess.

Sorry to hear.

RIP Jess

That is not the news I wanted to hear, so sad to hear that Jess was killed this way. Good on the lovely lady who looked after him for you, but I hope the mongel who hit him dies a horrible death. I could never leave an animal if I hit one, I would have to try and find the owner or at least take it to a vet.

We have someone's much-loved cat in our garden. It was run over near our place and the neighbours knew we had cats so they picked it up and placed it by our letterbox. It wasn't our cat and we rang everyone in the neighbourhood but no one knew where it had come from. It was a large grey cat in very good condition so I doubt it was a stray. We buried it in our garden under a tree even though it wasn't ours. That's what you do when you're an animal lover.

gutted dude sorry to hear this.....
