My cat Coco came home limping because part of his pad was missing. We immediately took him to the vet where he had stitches and at the vets suggestion we had him neutered too. When we came to pick him up he seemed he seemed dazed but altogether fine.
We waiting outside for taxi when he broke out if his carry cage and ran down the street. I ran after him but lost him after he rounded a corner. This was a week ago and i've been worried sick he's lying in an alley somewhere ill and in pain. I've rung up local vets in case anyone finds him but i'm still so scared. What do i do. I miss my cat so much I've crying every night praying for him to find his way homw. btw we live about a 10 min car ride from where he disappeared but there are loads of busy roads.

Sorry about my awful spelling and punctuation, I was typing this very fast and wanted to post this asap

I'm so terribly sorry to hear what has happened to Coco, when all you were doing was the right thing for him.

If you haven't yet you should put up flyers everywhere. Put them up where he ran away, and near home and everywhere in between. Call all vets and all shelters to ask if he has been brought in, and ask to be called if a cat that meets his description is brought in. However don't wait to be called, call them every day or two anyway.

Call your local radio station many do courtesy advertisements for lost pets.

Post on your local craigslist lost pet section.

Post in your local newspaper's lost pet section. Those ads are often free.

Put something that smells like him and that smells like you in your yard so it will be easier for him to find his home.

Keep looking for him in the area he ran away, and every place i in between that area and your home.

It sounds like he is used to being outside? So there is a lot of hope he will find his way home.

I have a friend whose cat was found two months after he disappeared, and it was right after she moved. Don't give up hope.

I'm praying for your Coco.

have you found him yet ?

aw bless, thank you so much for your prayers and the helpful advice. It has helped me so much. I haven't found him yet but I'm not giving up hope.

I feel terrible for Coco, I hope he will find his way home soon!

So poor Coco, he might be so frightened and trying to free out of danger due to a trauma. Hope he is in someone's care and you would able to find him again, don't loose hope.

any news on coco? I know that feeling after losing a kitty , while I have seen many make it back home, my two boys never came back. But I think since they were so friendly someone just took them in. I always try to think positive. You guys are in my thoughts

sad to read this. Hope you'll find coco soon.
