Nothing Yet

It’s been several days and I have not caught anything in the trap, not even a rodent. So I’m going to freshen the food and move it to a different spot. Hopefully I will have better luck.

It’s a Trap!

I’ve been wanting to set a humane trap in an attempt to capture India. I haven’t seen any signs that she’s nearby, but I’m going to try it anyway. Yesterday I borrowed one from Bel-West Cat Rescue. Today I baited it with a bit of cat food and tuna fish. I put in one of my old garments so it would also have a comforting smell. Now we wait.

An Adventure

Last night I received a call from someone saying he had a black cat in his apartment and he thought it might be India. He said it had green eyes and looked just like the picture in the Craigslist ad. I asked about the kink in her tail, and he said he was not really comfortable around cats and didn’t want to handle it. We were just finishing dinner so I said I would come over and see if it was India.

Still no Luck

It's been a little more than a week since the last post.  I am moving the trap to a different location, as I had no luck in the alley.  I've also been checking the Humane Society every couple of days, but no India.  I really wish I had had her microchipped.  I had been under the impression that microchipping was very, very expensive, but as it turns out I could have had it done at the Humane Society for $20.  If only I had known (Henna is now microchipped). My posters blew down in the wind.  I will put them back up; and refresh my postings on Craigslist, Nextdoor, and Lost Pets of Whatcom County's Facebook Page.  I'm really hoping a neighbor found her and is keeping her safe, and then she might eventually get outside again and come home. Yesterday was 4 weeks.  Tomorrow will be one month.  I have heard stories of cats randomly coming back after as many as three months, and someone at the shelter said a cat once turned up at the shelter af...
