The News-Star reports on a missing cat in the Truman Square area.
Stash, short for "Mustache Pete," is a tuxedo cat with black and white markings. The Uptown couple adopted Stash about nine months ago from Felines Inc., a group that rescues feral kittens.
There are signs posted all over the neighborhood. Alexandra told News-Star that Stash has been spotted roaming the alley by numerous dog walkers.
If you see Stash wandering around the alley between Kenmore and Winthrop, please send an e-mail to Alexandra at alexandra_horwitt@yahoo.com, or walk over to the couple's gate on the 4700 block of North Kenmore and call the phone number on the poster.
Read the entire story here, and if you see Stash, help him get home! (The photo in our story is not of Stash himself, who probably has slightly different markings. Please contact his owners if you find any tuxedo cat in the area Stash is frequenting.)
UPDATE: The email address for Stash's owners has been corrected.
Reminds me of the title of a Shangri-Las song: Although he was adopted, Stash's heart is "Out in the Streets."
ReplyDeleteFor a minute their I thought we lost our 23rd District Tactical Lieutenant.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the cat. Is this really news?
ReplyDeleteUU is a neighborhood blog, not just for news, so if it can help spread the word and get Stash home, I can't think of a better use for it.
ReplyDeleteCaring neighbor is right.
ReplyDeleteBesides, if that were my companion, I can promise you I'd consider it news. To many people, pets are family.
I hope they find him. He's adorable.
ReplyDeleteI just hope he doesnt end up "stashed" with 900 other felines, 40 dogs, 30 parakeets, and 15 ferrets in the dilapidated home of some deranged and shut-in "animal lover."
ReplyDeleteAh, something nice and fluffy to worry about for a change.
ReplyDeleteI just saw a cat that looks like it could be stash in the alley on Leland between Beacon and Dover going north... I tried to email the owner but the email address in the post is no good, please pass this on, I saw the cat at about 9:50 pm tonight.
ReplyDeleteDaVE, I'm their neighbor...Email Me at focusexh@rcn.com and I' will call them..
ReplyDeleteI totally feel for the owners and have been looking for Stash! Everytime a cat passes, I go "here Stash..."
ReplyDeleteI hope you find them! Luckily, Stash has some street smarts. If my doggy ever got out, he'd run straight into oncoming traffic!
hi there, stash is our baby, the e-mail address is actually alexandra_horwitt@yahoo.com - or just give us a call day or night at 773-944-0989...we've seen him a few times in the last few days, we know he's out there! thank you all so much for your help and support, you have no idea how much we appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteanon, 11:39... think about poor Stash. Don't you have a heart?
ReplyDeleteif either of my girls (cats) came up missing, you'd better believe i'd be taking similar measures.
ReplyDeletekudos to the people of the world that treat their pets as they should be treated...with respect and care.
there is a sign posted on agatite for a missing orange cat too... i will get the details.
ReplyDeletei feel for anyone missing thier pets... if i lost either of mine, I would be in shambles.
Has Stash been found? I noticed that there are no more signs up.
ReplyDeleteHE'S HOME!!!!
ReplyDeleteJeff and i got a call this afternoon from a vet - someone found Stash - all the way down in the LOOP!!!
A good Samaritan named Todd was coming home from work when Stash came right up to him and started nuzzling his leg, so he brought him home. He and his girlfriend Hillary took him to the vet, and they scanned his microchip and found us!
After almost a month and a half missing, he's sickly skinny and his whiskers are singed off - but he's healthy and he's home.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped and loved us through this - the outpouring of support from the community was overwhelming, and will never be able to say thank you enough.
