QUOTE (gillian @ Sep 21 2008, 02:11 PM) *
Day 10: Got a promising call today. A woman phoned to say that since Tuesday last week she has been feeding a small tabby cat without a collar, which is nervous and very skinny. Today she was at the vet and she saw a poster we'd put up, and she phoned saying the cat she'd been feeding is exactly like Darcey. She took a photo of the cat, and while I took care of the baby, my fiancé went to see the photo and he says he thinks it's Darcey! But the woman hadn't trapped the cat or anything, so she wasn't there when my fiancé went down, although he did take a walk around and call for her, but with no response ... The woman said she'd call if and when she sees the cat again, so the next thing to do is the put up flyers in that area, which is about 6 miles from our house!!!

She's still not home though ... but maybe ... maybe she will be soon.


Sending many, many intense prayers your way. You know we would ALL rejoice if your girl came home. I believed that she will. I really believe that she will.

Hopes and prayers your way..I hope you can get to her. Maybe she will respond to your voice. If she is taking food from this woman perhaps she will stay close by. Best of luck.. Ann

OMG! So the woman rang to say she'd trapped the cat she thinks is Darcey in her kitchen, so my fiancé went down, but couldn't tell whether it was Darcey or not. It was vicious and attacked them both. When I arrived they had blood running down their arms. So I went down, and looked at a cat which was EXACTLY like my Darcey. I got down and it came to me, and rubbed up against me, got on my lap, rubbed it's face against mine; omg the purrs of this cat which was EXACTLY like Darcey. This cat is her CLONE. And definitely a female, rubbing up against me, loads of attention.

But I never felt it, you know? I didn't think it was my girl. I knew it. I never got excited thinking it was her. There was just something not quite right. Her face was just a little different. So I took the cat to the vet, who ran a scanner over her, but there was no response. Darcey was microchipped ... The vet doesn't think it's her for that reason.

I took the cat home, to compare photos of her with Darcey just in case. And there are some tiny little differences. Although they are SO alike, same colouring, same lines, same size, same sex, same personality. But I'm pretty sure this isn't Darcey now ... Especially as the cat began to growl and attack my dog Nieko, and he showed the teeth at the cat. Darcey would never have done that to Nieko. She loves him. The cat is in my kitchen right now. She was so hungry she ate a whole tin of tuna; no microchip, no collar, not sure if she has owners.

I phoned the woman who had trapped her, and suggested I take her to a humane shelter, as if the cat has been coming to this woman every day for food, and is clearly very hungry, it probably doesn't have owners. But the woman was having none of it. She wants me to return the cat to her this evening so she can set her free again, just incase the cat does have owners, even though I'm quite sure this cat is homeless. I know the woman will feed her anyway, but has said that she doesn't want her. It's sad. I'd rather leave her into a shelter, I mean, if the cat does have owners, they can easily ring all the shelters to be reunited, just like I have been doing ... but ... I feel obliged to do what the woman wants as it was her who had trapped her in the first place.

11 days gone ... sad.gif I look at her and see Darcey. I feel like crying. In fact, I am crying. God ... where is my girl????

Hey everyone,

Not had any news sadly. Had very little calls about Darcey lately, and any calls I do get are from people who don't know what a tabby cat looks like; even though I've put Darcey's photo on all of the flyers, people still call me regarding ginger cats, black and white cats, tortoiseshell cats ... Some woman even called me last week to see if I'd be willing to home a tortoiseshell cat which is hassling her own cats. FFS. sad.gif

Not been searching the past few nights as I pulled a muscle in my back and my fiancé has been working late. Plus our son has been waking up during the night teething and so we're both extra tired.

But planning on going out tonight again.

Thanks for thinking of me and Darcey.

Hi Gillian,
Just to let you know, I haven't given up on Darcy. I've kept you and Darcy in my prayers. It's nice that people are taking the time to call you, even if it isn't Darcy. At least their hearts are in the right place and show concern.

Hugs and prayers,
Beth

Hi Gillian, I was so hoping that cat was Darcey. I don't understand that woman's reasoning for setting it "free". In a shelter it would be safe and fed and well taken care of. I still haven't given up hope. Thoughts and prayers still traveling across the pond to you and Darcey. Ann

Hey everyone,

16 days missing now. I don't mean to despair but it feels like its been so long that I may never see her again. I was full of hope at the beginning, but where could she have gone in over 2 weeks? I don't understand why, despite all my searching, I haven't found her. I worry shes been stolen ...

This is a photo of the cat we thought might have been Darcey, but if you look at her face against Darcey's face in earlier pics, you'll see why I felt it wasn't her from the start. By aren't they so alike?

My fiancé took her back to the woman who had caught her that evening, who immediately took her out the back yard and let her go. Ironically enough the cat came back to my fiancé, rubbed up against him and didn't leave while he were there, which was heartbreaking as he had to leave her there. sad.gif I hope she'll be ok. But I felt I had no choice. The woman was adamant that I brought the cat back to be released. sad.gif

Another pic in the next post.

There is so much hope out here from all of us.

Gillian,


I'm so sorry your family is still going through this. But unless and until, heaven forbid, someone finds her little body, I continue to hope and pray for you to be reunited with her.



Hugs and prayers,
Dayna

Whoever this cat is, is so cute and very attacted your fiancee. I'm really having a hard time again with why she would want that cat back only to release it. Would you concider taking her back or is that out of the question? I guess if you wanted you could put an add in the newspaper about a found cat, discription and in the vicinity of..very strange she would do that. Anyways still hoping for a reunion for you and Darcey...Ann

Ann, I very much doubt it. The cat will be long gone by now. I felt obliged to do what the woman wanted. She was quite adamant that she wanted the cat to be returned to her yard. She insisted.
