Our tortie has gone missing 😥

Our lovely 4 year old tortie went out yesterday at 6.30pm and hasn’t returned - we’ve done all the advised things, flyered all the neighbours, notified vets and microchip company, posts on social media and Pets Reunited. We did several sweeps of the area, one at 4am and then every few hours after but she appears to have vanished.

She is however a common visitor to our neighbours gardens and houses (!) and yesterday being a lovely Sunday Mother’s Day, we reckon she has got shut in to a garage or storage area.

worse still we are supposed to go away for 2 nights tomorrow… might just be me and the children and DH can continue to search.

We lost her sister to the road 18 months ago so particularly nervy. Roads are clear and no reported accidents.

A Hand hold would be appreciated and any stories of hope 😞

Brilliant news! I'm so glad there was a happy ending 😻

So glad she is back. I thought your tortoise 🐢 was missing when I first started reading your thread, and then people started mentioning cats I realised what you meant 🤣

So glad she is back! What a relief for you all. 🤩
We now have a tracker for added peace of mind (just AirTag so hoping or will work ok)

@Bert2025we are looking at an AirTag and collar - I’m pessimistic about success as she is a class A collar remover but we need to try! Any tips?

Very early days for us, only been on him for three days now but so far, so good. It doesn’t always locate him though…it seems to work intermittently when it picks up a signal but that is good enough for my reassurance. I don’t want to pay monthly for a subscription. My cat does seem to keep his collar on though 🤞so not sure what you can do about that. Sorry, not helpful! So glad yours is back, is she putting the weight back on?

@Bert2025 that sounds hopeful! We’ll try her on the collar whilst she’s grounded and add AirTag once she has accepted it. She is eating and sleeping well and I hope we will start to see some weight gain soon. Her spine is still very visible though.
