LOST

Name:	Toby
Breed & Species:	Domestic short-haired cat
Colour:	Tabby
SimpleColour:
Went missing:	4 months ago (11 December 2024 at around 18:00hrs)
Location:	Japonica Close, Shoreham-by-Sea BN43 6JL, UK
Health:	Healthy
Age:	9 years old (approx)
Sex:	Neutered Male
Collar:	Red with sparkly studs
Microchipped:	Yes
Circumstances:	He was in Japonica Close visiting his regular neighbours that make a fuss of him & I went out shopping between 7pm - 9pm. He always runs to meet me when I return but did not on this occasion. I assumed he was indoors but wasn't so I went out & called him but no response, I continued to call him until 1am but nothing. He disappeared in September for a week & was found in Hollingdean after cadging a lift in a delivery van & I fear hes done the same again as he cannot resist an open door.
Other info:	Has small triangle shape nicks from his ears from a previous attack from a large cat. He also has no tail so very distinctive.

I apologise if you did not receive my message, I am sure I notified all sites that were searching for Toby. He was seen in a garden in a house between Henfied & Woodmancote. He kept re-appearing until the resident of the house was told by a friend that she was sure the cat was not a stray & had been reported as missing. These kind people managed to get in touch with me, sent me a picture for confirmation of it being my cat & then with extreme kindness, drove him all the way back to my home in Shoreham. Toby had obviously got up to his past tricks of hitching a ride in a van which was in our close with the doors left open. He is now wearing a tracker so hopefully he won't be out of our sights for too long again in the future.
