DESCRIPTION
I haven't seen my outdoor cat Charlie since 9/18. I am very worried about him and his cat friend keeps looking for him. Please send me any information. There is a reward for his safe return. *Update* Hello, I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragement. Unfortunately, Charlie is still missing. Please continue to keep a look out and please check your sheds, barns, or grges if you live in the area. To those who've asked why he is an outdoor cat: We live in the country so there are no super close roads and people often have barn cats running around. Charlie was a feral/stray cat that showed up at our hse one day. We were already taking care of some other feral cats so we allowed him to stay and got him neutered and vaccinated (hence the clipped ear). The outdoor cats have multiple shelters each with heated beds and water bowls. They are fed twice a day and given medicine and care when needed. Charlie wasn't very friendly but over time we developed a bond and he befriended another cat that came along and the two are best friends. I was planning on moving all the cats inside, however our indoor pets made that difficult. Currently a former feral lives inside and she and Charlie and Charlie's friend do not get along. We also took in an abandoned kitten, which pushed back bringing the cats inside. Since Charlie's disappearance, I have brought his friend inside. It's going okay, given he absolutely hates the other feral cat. I am not naive to the dangers of keeping an outdoor cat, but I did the best I could. Perhaps it wasn't enough and I failed Charlie and that is something I'll have to live with. But right now all I can do is keep looking for him and get his picture out there. I know none of you meant to be critical, but I feel the need to explain the situation and I'm sorry if I come across as defensive, but it's been a rough month. Please contact me even if you have bad news. I understand that things happen, the outside is dangerous and it is hunting season. Anyway, thanks again. I really appreciate everyone!
