Title: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: sheryl on November 20, 2008, 15:44:05 PM
Someone I know has lost her 14 week old Siver Spotted Bengal kitten - she escaped on Sunday afternoon and has not been seen since.

She escaped from Biggin Hill in Kent - can anyone in the area please keep any eye open for her and pas any info to me - unfortunately she is not yet microchipped and was not wearing a collar.  I am waiting for a photo and will post when I receive.

It is breaking my heart to think she is out in this awful weather alone and afraid  :'(

Ahhh poor baby ... I assume you have passed on all the advice to your friend Sheryl : http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,305.0.html

As she is young she will be frightened and will be hiding somewhere.  The quicker your friend gets her posters out the better.

I know Dawn - if I lived nearer I would be walking the streets of Kent myself looking for her  :(

I have sent her the advice sheet and she has put posters everywhere but so far only a couple of "sicko" crank calls. 

She is lucky in a way because her 5 month old Bengal escaped at the same time but he came home after about 1/2 hour but there was no sign of the little one.

Michelle - if you hear anything at all it would be great if you could let me know - she is a very distinctive kitten so would be easy to identify.

She is listed on the National Pet Register:   http://www.nationalpetregister.org/mp/11116.htm

Missing from Main Road Biggin Hill ....I wouldnt have thought she has gone far, although i hate to ask this ...has the council been phoned ? That is a very busy road
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: sheryl on November 20, 2008, 22:50:39 PM
The council have been contacted Michelle but said that they have not removed any cats so fingers crossed that she is still safe

I've been thinking about this little one all night
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: sheryl on November 21, 2008, 11:19:04 AM
Me too Dawn - I keep checking to see if there is any good news but nothing so far - I hope that someone is keeping her safe and warm until her Mummy can find her.
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: Michelle (furbabystar) on November 21, 2008, 13:19:58 PM
it really wouldnt surprise me if someone has taken this little one in (being so pretty)

Has your friend put notices through people's doors ?
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: sheryl on November 21, 2008, 15:33:02 PM
She has put loads of posters around but I have to agree with you Michelle she is such a pretty little thing - I suppose it is better for her to be safe and warm with someone rather than outside in this weather but so heartbreaking for the family that has lost her.  Their other Bengal kitten is really pining and not eating properly since Mystie went missing

I would suggest they go out calling her at night when its nice and quiet.
It might also help to put "large reward" on the posters (who says what "large" mean  :evillaugh:) might help if someone doe have her !!

any news on this little one Sheryl
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: sheryl on November 26, 2008, 09:29:00 AM
Sadly not Dawn - there was a false alarm when Foal Farm has reports of a grey kitten in someones garden but it turned out that this little one was chipped and has happily been reunited with his family.  I cant understand why Mystie wasnt chipped - a very hard lesson.

Mysties breeder is going to the area every day looking and calling for her but it is as if she has just vanished.

I cant understand why Mystie wasnt chipped - a very hard lesson.

In fairness I didn't get Tilly chipped until she was spayed so maybe they were waiting for the same thing - I keep thinking about her poor little thing, I just hope someone is keeping her
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: sheryl on November 26, 2008, 10:17:22 AM
I hope so to Dawn, I mentioned the chip because this particular breeder normally chips before rehoming.
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT

really, that is good practice pity more don't

My Bengals were all chipped and registered to us when we collected them.
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: Dawn F on November 26, 2008, 11:21:27 AM
mine wasn't - I don't want to sound too critical because the breeder is very nice and the cats very well cared for but I wouldn't go to them again
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: Flame on November 30, 2008, 01:05:26 AM
If the breeder normally chips before they leave then i am sure there would have been a good reason why Mystie wasnt chipped before she left the breeder. Her owner hadnt had her very long so barely had the chance to get her chipped before she went missing.
Even when a cat is chipped it doesnt guarentee that they will be found so please dont try and find a blame case. This is a very unfortunate and what is most important at the moment is that people keep there eyes and ears out for Mystie if they live in or visit the area not try and point the finger or blame.

I do think it would be good for breeders to do certain things like chipping and spaying/neutering but at the same time they should also be able to trust the new owners enough to do these things themselves.

Chip or not any decent person would have declared they have her, i hope the thief is a nice one. Fingers crossed they soon find out keeping a bengal isnt always straight forward  :evillaugh:

Post by: sheryl on December 01, 2008, 10:52:50 AM
I am in NO way passing blame it was simply a comment that it is unfortunate that the little one isnt chipped!  I am doing all I can from a distance to help in finding Mystie

No, still no news  :( - she is on MYMoggy now so fingers, toes and everything else crossed that there is some news soon.

Reading your posts Flame I gather that you are closely involved with the search for Mystie - please give Kim my love and let her know that I am thinking of her x

Oh poor baby girl  :'( :'(  I hope she is safe.

Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: sheryl on December 01, 2008, 14:15:33 PM
It was Main Road Biggin Hill Gail.

I just hope and pray that she is safe and warm  :(
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: Flame on December 01, 2008, 15:17:50 PM
I'm not closely involved really just doing the same as you in asking people if they are in the area to keep a look out. I will pass on you good wishes though   :)

not being for that area - have no idea where it is - but the breeder I had my boys from is in Maidstone and on another forum there are a couple of people who live down in Kent.

I just hope this beautiful girl is safe. It makes me think if my boys were out all alone how scared would they be. I pray she is safe and warm somethere and that she is home real soon. xxxx

I can't get this little one out of my head either so small - I just hope a well meaning person has kept her

Post by: sheryl on December 03, 2008, 19:54:11 PM
I know Dawn, I hope the same.

We were at a show the other weekend and I had cuddles with lots of Bengal kittens and it made me think of Mystie and made me realise just how tiny a 16 week old kitten is.

I had to go to FoalFarm today which meant i drove down part of Main Road and then Jail Lane and I was surprised that i didnt see any posters for this little one.
It might be a good idea if the owners got some posters up (unless someone has taken them all down)
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: Flame on December 06, 2008, 19:01:14 PM
She has been putting posters up, she recently put some new ones up with a reward on. The breeder has also been putting them up as have a few other people that she went out postering with so is odd that you didnt see any around. I will let her know incase someone has taken them down.
Title: Re: LOST - Silver Spotted Bengal Kitten - KENT
Post by: Michelle (furbabystar) on December 06, 2008, 19:16:46 PM
Yes i wonder if kids are taking them down.
As i say, i only went down some of Main Road but down the whole of Jail Lane and didnt see any (i was looking for them)

I spoke to Foal about her while i was there. They did have an email about her and tend to agree with me that someone has probably taken her in
