Message from Owner

Fergus is a misc longhair cat with grey and tan patchy coloring and green eyes. She has been with me and my partner for awhile, we got to know her as a street cat at our last home, matted and shivering in the winter. Once unable to relax and ready to retaliate if you got too close, Fergus quickly settled in and knew we were there to protect her. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, my partner and I went on a 12-day vacay and had to leave her home. Cat sitters saw her less frequently in the morning as this went on, and we also hadn’t seen her for breakfast for one of the days after we got back before she was gone for a first full day, but she was usually around, and would come back by lunch. We were working on getting her breakfast routine back when she left on 28 June. We are continuing to strategize how to further support her and her safety when we are reunited. She does not currently have a collar or chip, and may have some new summertime matting here and there, but she keeps herself very tidy. She loves to chat and will always engage with crinkly bags and food/treats that smell good. She prefers to be the initiator of affectionate contact, usually by rubbing up against your legs as she walks by, or jumping up to headbutt an outstretched hand. She has been doing very well in this area, always chatting to herself or anyone around, trying to teach us hopeless humans to hunt lizards, and exploring or sleeping in just about every bush in the yard. We have not seen signs of another animal taking her, it seems more likely she found a new favorite breakfast place that thought she had no home, based on the preceding behavior. Here’s to hoping. If you have any information, that would be greatly appreciated!
