The Other Column

There’s a new easy-to-use Aussie website, for people who’ve lost their pets. And what a great idea it is, especially since joining is free. It even gives links to vets and animal products.

One year and one week ago, my own beloved Burmese, “Mischa” went missing. It took us days to find her. Days of panic and sadness. It wasn’t a happy ending, but then, she was very old and it was her time. I certainly would’ve used the new website if it had been available. Reader Lee, has a cat who goes for long walks and has trouble finding her way back home. Lee’s been letterbox dropping her area (and the gorgeous pictured feline is hers – anyone seen her in the Bracken Ridge area?).

Who didn’t love today’s news story of Timothy the cat, who went missing a year ago from Bald Hills and was found in Townsville, hundreds of kilometers away! Today, he was reunited with his delighted family.

When you’ve lost a pet, you want to know you’ve done everything you can to find it, and now you can.

Paws & claws up! Give www.lostmypet.com.au a go.

P.S. Best wishes to those in the process of finding their furry or feathered companions.
