Update: Rosie has been found safe & well!

Rosie was one of my foster cats who was transferred to another fosterer in Burton on Trent, Staffordshire. She escaped after a week and has not returned.

Missing in Burton on trent after living in nottingham all her life as a stray.

One thing that saddens me deeply is seeing an advert for a missing cat. The pain that the owners are going through makes my heartbreak. I know that pain as I lost my dear cat in Sept 2011. I went on holiday and my cats went to my parents house to be looked after for a week. They had a large room in which they were being looked after and access to other parts of the house sometimes too, but the second to last day, my Mum opened the door and Billy ran out past her. He didn’t know the area at all and disappeared totally.

If your cat is missing, the best thing to do is put up loads and loads of posters on lamp posts and leaflets through doors. I did this and people did see Billy and contact me but he was always one step ahead unfortunately. Do it as soon as your cat goes missing, don’t wait even a few days.

If you have found a cat that you think is a stray but aren’t sure, the easiest thing to do is buy a cheap safety collar and barrel to attach with your details written inside it. You could put something like “if you are the owner of this cat please can you contact me on… to confirm as unsure if this cat is a stray”.

No more than £3 spent on collar and barrel could help a stray cat be discovered and be rescued.
