007 is Missing

007 has not been seen since Friday, October 9th; this is not a terribly long time, but he has mainly been an inside cat who has recently started going outside, and has generally stayed close to home (home is the southwest corner of Branch & Hillsborough). He has never been interested in Hillsborough Ave, so I’m not sure that this is what happened, but one never knows. 007 is mostly black (shorthair), w/white on his bib and paws and a slightly bent tail at the very end. He is part Siamese (and tends to be pretty verbal), and is slim built, but very muscular. There is no collar. I know there is a bunch of these type of cats around, as we rescued 007 from under a front porch in this area, and there were several others who resembled him. 007 is male and neutered. He does not generally come when called and can be a bit shy; he is micro chipped. If you see a cat by this description who is not a “regular” in your area, please call 786-6323. Thanks.

Lost 1 yr old cat found

Just minutes after this was posted Rummy was found, a wonderful neighbor had taken him in to keep him safe.

The original post was as follows:

We just started letting our indoor cat go out on our deck in the back yard and noticed he liked to go under the deck but always comes when he is called. Didn't realize there was a hole in the privacy fence that borders the deck and he apparently slipped out around 2:15 pm today (Aug 12, 2009). Answers to the name Rum Tum or Rummy. He is a one year old Male, neutered, just had all his shots, but didn't have his collar on. He has a gray striped back with white belly. Distinguishing marks: Has a brown splotch on his left nostril and a gray splotch on his front right arm right above his paw. Very gentle and shy. Not use to being around a lot of noise. We live in the 5800 block of 17th street and Idlewild Av. So he may have gone to 16th or down toward Henry. Maybe even 15th street. I have patroled South to Hillsborough Av, North to Hanna, East to 19th street and West to Hampton Terrace and will continue to do so.If found please contact Darlene at 813-545-2518. Thank you.

She is home and safe

This was a simple process and with help from our neighbors every pet can be safely returned or find a new and loving home.

Just email a picture or two to us with a discription (below is a great example) and we will post it asap.

I want to thank everyone in the Seminole Heights neighborhoods for all your help.

EXAMPLE:



Hi there. First- I COMMEND you for running this blog! Secondly, I am doing this for a friend who is temporarily taking in a dog found running down her street in Seminole Heights. She doesn't have email, etc, and can not keep the dog. I offered to do this, as it is what I can do to help...i am hoping this sweet dog can be reunited with her family= or I am afraid this dog will end up in the county shelter (a kill shelter).
The info:
Dog found Saturday, Feb. 14 around 9 a.m. Running down the street (from west to the east in direction); Wellington and Pocohontas
She is (believed) to be Irish Setter/Retriever mix. Beautiful reddish brown coat, golden yellow eyes. Wearing a Pink collar with rhinestones. She is sweet, affectionate, well behaved, seems like an older puppy- guessing 6-8 months?
May be in first heat?
She is in good health, eating well, was mainly thirsty, does not appear ill in any way.
Flyers that say Found Dog are up on phone polls on Florida Ave. They do not have her picture on them.
Attached a few photos of her (was hard to get a good shot with phone camera- she is young and energetic- always moving)
No tags on collar; was taken to Avalon animal hospital who graciously offered to see her and scan her for a microchip- none found, but they said it can depend on the chip. the device they have can not find a microchip.

PLEASE Seminole Heights animal lovers- reach out to your network(s) and help this sweet girl find her way home. I believe she is a valued cared for pet who is lost...my friend can not keep her much longer and will have to take her to County shelter. I can not take her in either= and have asked everyone I know (we are all full up).

The contact number to reach the dog's foster provider is 813-495-6161.
Please let me know if I can provide more photos- and can you let me know when this is posted?
Thank you, Sincerely.
Michelle Cookson, Old Seminole Heights
