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.

Why do people continue to let let's outside to roam free? We have had at least 10 days run over behind my house in the ally! Keep your pets on leash or in your home! I hope he's found, learn the lesson!

Bhairavi Dhakras unfortunately the food was untouched this morning and through the day, at least so far. I wish I lived in a place where I felt safe leaving a door open but this place is wide open and no, that's not possible. I've got an order in for posters and flyers so those will start going up. The lack of telephone poles is annoying. Thank you for your support.

That sounds good. If he is Merlin who came and ate food (which is a good possibility), it might help to keep the door or window a little open for him to come in. Alternately, you can borrow a humane trap from the county shelter. I have not done that before but I have always heard people mentioning it. Might want to check that option. Hope he is safe and figuring his way out to come home soon.
