Title: LOST - little ginger/white girly cat in Corby, Oakley Vale
Post by: DeanJ on February 03, 2009, 10:47:16 AM
Our wonderful little cat, Holly is missing in Oakley Vale, Corby. My wife and I are expecting our first baby, and so our cats Holly and Berry are being looked after short term by a friend. Sadly, Holly thought she'd go and investigate the area last Thursday and hasn't been seen since.

She is very loving and affectionate, and very inquisitive! We miss her and are worried sick, as is our friend and his family.

Holly is ginger and white and has a chequered blue and white colour and a blue tag with her name written on it.

We want to reunite our family with our expected new arrival and our 2 wonderful cats. Please, please help us find our little Holly.

Thank you Yvonne that's kind of you. Yes, I've read Sam's tips and my friend has done a lot of hard work for us including 180 flyers posted localy and posters around the village. Its distressing as we're 100 miles away and obviously my wife is close to being in labour!!

But we're very positive about Holly and know that she's a real cutey and will have won someone over!

Thanks for your welcome and advice...lets hope for the very best.

Hi Dean

Sorry to hear Holly is missing, just a thought but have you described her as 'ginger & white' on the posters/leaflets?  Looking at her photo I'd describe her as tortoiseshell - it might be worth changing any future descriptions to tortoiseshell or maybe for those who haven't heard of tortoiseshell then 'ginger/white/black splodgy' instead.  I think if I had seen her hanging around and then seen the posters I might not have put two and two together.

Hope she returns soon  :hug:

Great thank you for the well wishes and advice. Actually, the poster our friend has done includes Holly's picture, but I'll mention about the wording.

She's not been found by the local council thank goodness, so as long as that's the case we have hope. I just want her to be safe and warm and hopefully she'll be found or wanders back.

Thank you!

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. Its certainly helping me feel a lot better. I have faith to believe Holly is at least safe. It would be just like her to befriend someone and make herself at home somewhere!

I called the local vets and still no news, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks again everyone.

We've had no news about Holly and we've still desperately missing her.

However, great news in our household that our baby finally arrived last Tuesday! We really want him to meet Holly...if anyone has any contacts in Corby then please please forward the photo on for us. We won't give up!! Thanks so much.
