Lost & Found - For Animals Only

[Triple 6]

Edited to add - Owner claimed him yesterday.

This morning I saved this guy from being hit by a bus. He is under a year. Part Rottie and???? Well trained. Sit, lay down, stay. Has a tail and dew claws. He is fixed. The area is Hwy 97N and Ross Road, on the Westside (Very busy). I've called the pound and they have taken him. Looks like an escape artist!

On Wednesday, July 06th my parent's dog, Kira escaped from the Spotted Spa Kennels in Ellison. She is a red Siberian Husky, just over a year old,and has one blue eye and one gold eye. She is very friendly, but likes to get you running after her. She has a blue ROGZ collar on with a dog license on it. Since my parents live on the Westside - she may be trying to find her way back this way.

PLEASE keep an eye out for her and contact 250-769-0585 if you see her or find her!!!!

Thank you!

Wednesday night during the storm: Found a dog running loose in the North End of Kelowna, Richter Street/Coronation Avenue area. Very friendly pitbull-type breed and seemed afraid by the storm. Maybe bolted from his/her yard? He/she is safe now but needs to find his home.

B.C. cat with $5,000 bounty saunters home

The cat came back — all on its own.

In the end, the $5,000 reward, hundreds of missing posters, national media coverage, online and social media campaigns, classified ads, a tracking dog request and 12 straight days of searching day and night were for naught.

Kitty the feline, who went missing from a downtown Kelowna, B.C., home on July 30, reappeared Wednesday in the same spot she disappeared from.

"I have no idea what happened to her and probably never will," said relieved owner Barb Cook.

"She's lost a ton of weight, is really dirty and smeared with grease and is traumatized. My best guess is that she ended up trapped in someone's shed or garage and bolted as soon as she could to come back."

The irony of the extraordinary measures to find the cat to have it simply return are not lost on Cook.

"I know," she said with a laugh. "People have asked me in jest if the cat wasn't here the whole time and I just didn't know it."
Story went viral

Cook's missing cat story struck a chord, not just in Kelowna, but across the country.

She ran a classified ad in the Kelowna paper offering a $5,000 reward.

The story was picked up by newspapers and websites across Canada and Cook was flooded with calls of sympathy, support and tips of where to look for lost cats.

It was Cook's three-year-old niece, Caira, who spotted Kitty back in the yard Wednesday morning.

Caira's mother, who is Cook's sister, won't allow Cook to give the child the reward money.

"I think what I'd do is use the $5,000 for a down payment as originally planned and then save and offer to pay for Caira's tuition for first-year college or university in 15 years time," Cook said.

Cook is a science teacher at North Peace High School in Fort St. John, B.C.

Her mom lives in Kelowna and she is the only one Cook trusts to watch Kitty when she travels.

So Kitty, an indoor cat, was left with mom in late July so Cook could visit her boyfriend in Texas and then continue on to San Diego for a teachers' conference.

When Kitty got outside and disappeared July 30, Cook came home immediately to start her exhaustive search.

"Some people think I am a bit fanatical about this," Cook said at the time.

"But Kitty is part of my family and this is what I would do for any member of my family who was missing."

Kitty in now getting a bath and veterinarian check and then Cook will scour town again — this time to take down all the missing posters she put up and tell all the people she contacted that Kitty has come home.

Did this dog ever get found?

I saw one today in Rona, looked just like it.

I've found a tan & black tabby non neutered male cat (guess at not a year old yet) on Gertsmar Rd. He may have come from the Collison Rd area. Very friendly to people so he has to be someone's pet. He was criss crossing across Gestmar when I first saw him, then later in the evening he was cruising down Tataryn Rd. checking out everyone's yard.

Hopefully someone will see this and claim him. I'll contact SPCA later, and cruise the area for any posters about lost cats.

If he's yours email me lj @ dignatis.com
