Post by: Tiggy's Mum on July 28, 2013, 16:16:53 PM: Sorry to hear leo is missing :hug: Have you seen the list of hints and tips here? http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,305.0.html Not all of them will apply as he is missing away from home but there'll be lots that can still help get him back.

Have you leafleted in the roads nearby the cattery? Also worth looking at google earth images to see what the outlying area is like. I know how desperately worried you must be but don't give up hope. On this forum alone there are recent stories of two different cats lost at two different service areas right by the motorway and hundreds of miles from home who were found safe and sound, albeit one cat was AWOL for several months.

Post by: Sam (Fussy_Furball) on July 28, 2013, 20:32:15 PM: I agree with Helen, you need to leaflet every house near the cattery. Leo will be confused and scared and there is a strong chance he will be in the area lying low.

Please follow as many of the hints and tips you can on the link provided. :hug:
