My cat has been missing since last friday night.. he's 10 months old, tabby (white tummy + legs w/ browny-grey pattern on his back) with a brown smudge on his nose. He is microchipped but currently doesn't have a collar on as he pulled it off the other week! He's never even missed a meal before and is very clingy to my other cat so I'm very worried. If you find a cat like this please take him to cattery/vets/council/me at 38 Coombe road. Has anyone seen a cat like this in last couple of days? Please listen out and keep eyes peeled for me. He may be stuck in shed/ garage or up a tree and can't survive much longer. Thanks.
Here is link for facebook group I made for him with photos...

Hi LauraP,

I have friends that have recently moved in near you so I'll ask them to keep a look out for you.

Hope you find your mew!

Another rainy day and still no Oscar. If he's stuck somewhere he's now going to be reaching breaking point with survival! I have all these images of him dehydrated, starving and scared. He's been gone 5 days now and doesn't normally venture much further than the back gardens along my block + the garden behind me! Please please please tell everyone you know about him. The link to Facebook group with pictures is above. I'm suppose to be revising for medical finals next week and feel like I'm going to fail at this rate unless I pull it together or I get him back. I miss him so much.

In live in Crookes and I am not working today so will have a good walk around looking for the little fella.
Just to let you know, my cat Stimpy went missing for 5 days once while there was lots of snow around and it was very cold. I assumed he was a gonner but he came back covered in cobwebs and starving hungry. Fingers crossed he is safe and will find his was home.

My cat went missing for a few days last month. I leafleted the area which helped as she was stuck in my next-door neighbours attic. I was beside myself with worry but she just turned up right as rain but filthy, ate a little bit of food and made herself at home again :rolleyes: :D

Cats can go for days without food or water without any lasting effects. One neighbours' cat got stuck in our shed for a full week and was fine.

Stick some posters up around the area, leaflet your immediate areas then get on with your revision. I'm sure he'll turn up when he's ready :)

I believe I fed a little cat like this on the 24th/25th April at about 02:00 - this was very unsual for me as I don't like animals at all and I let it in the house. I also remember thinking it was a very small cat. It was staring at me on my step.

This was on Brighton Terrace road. I haven't seen it since.

Thanks so much! He's been missing since May 1st... if the cat on Brighton road you saw WAS Oscar there is a chance he may come back for a feed (that's if he's not trapped somewhere!).. please please keep a look out and if you see it again try keep hold of him and let me know. I am checking this sheffield forum thread numerous times a day at the moment and can be at Brighton rd in minutes to see if it is him!
Ta again.

I live on Townend St, which is further down. But I think I've seen a cat like that before, there's been numerous cats recently. I'll keep a look out.

Hi everyone, Oscar is still missing. Please ask anyone you know in the area if they have seen him. Link to pictures of him are above. 10 month old tabby with no collar. He's microchipped. If you think you've seen him, keep hold of him and contact me on 07788560424. Wondered if someone has claimed him theirs at he didn't have his collar on?? However he's a well kept cat and doesn't look like a stray.. please ask your neighbours. Thanks.

Hi Laura, have you printed out pics of him and stuck them on lamposts around the area? If not, you should.

I might go out for a ride on my bike soon so will head up that direction and have a look around.

I have now registered Oscar with RSPCA on the lost and found register. Please please continue to ask anyone who know to keep an eye out for a young tabby without a collar on. He's microchipped so can be scanned at any vets or cattery etc and relocated with me. He's 10 months so not yet fully grown, went missing in Crookes a week ago but if he's not trapped somewhere he could be anywhere now!.. Do you know of any neighbours feeding a cat/ anyone who's taken one in that sounds like Oscar? Photos of him are higher up this thread.
Thanks.

I think the owner of Oscar has moved to Leeds now - without Oscar I'm afraid...

I lived a couple of doors away from Laura (and Felix and Oscar). Saldy yes, Laura did move away with only Felix. Oscar I dont think was ever found. Really strange because he never wandered far! :(

Just goes to show you how some times as great as micro chips are they sometimes cant help us find our pets :( My cat was microchipped and has been missing for 5 years :(

Aw Blade I'm sorry to hear that. My cat Fudge has been missing for nearly three weeks, it's heartbreaking isn't it?

Lets hope they're sitting on someone's knee being fed tuna on demand :)

I know its awful, my cat went missing but luckily came back after a couple of days. I have seven cats now and spent £800 building a giant cat run in my back garden. They all love it, and have all been in it since being kittens. They still get to go outside and lounge in the sunshine, watch birds ets but I know where they are and that they are safe and well.

Yeah she messaged me. They did move away without him, which is awful:( but I did read a story the other day about a woman who was reunited with her dog after 8 years, due to a microchip!! So never give up hope just make sure to keep address details up to date!!:P
