MESSAGE FROM OWNER

Our Merlin we thought at first could've been trapped behind a box or under something, as we're rearranging furniture & belongings after a move. But there was just absolute silence all weekend, we've not seen him, and we get no response to calling him indoors or out (this makes us think he's hiding and scared). He tends to be active at night, which in a big apt cmplx makes it harder. I'm trying not to think about all the things that could've happened to him, but it makes me more scared for him. He's my baby and I miss him so. I'm disabled due to hip surgery so use a walker and can't move around much, and I live with my disabled son, who needs a lot of care. We do have a caregver who is doing a lot of the searching, and he's worried too--he's the Food Man! Any help or hope for our Merlin is much appreciated.

DESCRIPTION

3 years old, domestic shorthair, neutered, all black except for a few white hairs at his neck, yellow eyes, sturdy body, weighs 11 pounds, soft trilling cry, tiny purr, friendly but maybe disoriented and scared (he's a former feral who hasn't been outdoors in two years), left ear has a slight tip from frostbite not a cmmunity cat tip.

Kathy Virag Sweeney Thank you very much. Unfortunately there have been no sightings of Merlin at all since he disappeared on May 15th. It turns out that he is not chipped, I had thought that the rescue who sent him on to me had had that done when he was vetted for travel, but no chip has been found. The fact that he has not been seen at all, in light of all the efforts made to find him, is the most worrisome thing. But thank you for your kind words.

I hope Merlin is found and is returned to you. Even after missing all this time never give up hope. Does he have a microchip? As an owner of 2 former black fur ferals who are adjusting to being indoors, I understand how upset and worried you must be. I shared this on my fb even though I live in Arlington.
