lost pet info

[allli.livejournal.com]

I have a pretty depressing request. Does anyone know if there is a way to get information on whether an animal has been hit on a certain street and possibly picked up by the police etc? Our cat has been missing for 6 days and his collar was found lying on the side of the road...

That's horrible! I don't know the information that you're specifically looking for but what does your cat look like? I'll keep an eye out, there's always hope!

All I can suggest is calling the non-emergency number for the Somerville Police (assuming that's where you are) and asking them if they know who to call, or if they have a record on whether they called Animal Control to pick up a cat.

I hope that someone else here can be more helpful, but that's all I got.

Thin hope would be that the cat slipped its collar and is shut up in someone's basement or crawlspace? Did you flyer around the area?

I'm so sorry for this terrible situation.

I wish I knew how to help, this must be so awful and upsetting for you. If you post your cat's description, I'll keep an eye out (I live near Magoun Square, if that's at all local to you).

Try getting in touch with Angel Memorial hospital, down in Boston somewhere. My cat was hit by a car around Davis, and some kind soul drove him all the way down there! Luckily he had kept his collar on, so I got a phone call. (And amazingly enough, my cat made it through! :)

thanks for the sympathy

thanks for your kind words... here's a description of our cat for those who volunteered to keep an eye out. He was last seen by our house on Medford St., between Bartlett and Glenwood- east of Magoun Square. He's a medium-size black-and-white male named Hernando, with a mostly black face and a paunch. He weighs 14 lbs. He's very vocal.

There are flyers up in the area, you can check those for our number-- the home phone is 617.591.9998.

thanks, guys.
