Mary Shoppmeyer asked that I share the following request. – Lil
“Could you post something asking residents near the intersections of Prospect Hill and School St or Main St to check their basements and barns to make sure that a little gray long-haired kitty with white nose, chest, and mittens is not accidentally shut in? She is shedding and has some large mats right now, one of which has been removed recently leaving a large bare spot on her left side.
She is 12 and has always refused to wear a collar. She has safely navigated this general area, mostly at night, for many years and returns without fail to check her dish but has not returned for more than a day. While this not terribly unusual, I worry more as she ages. So far there is no sign of her along the roadsides.
Her real name is Smokey, but when I call her, I call her Key-Key. She has had many adventures (not all of which she has shared with us I am sure) and is a skillful hunter. Mostly I worry about her being too curious and getting trapped when someone unawares shuts a door.
I doubt anyone would be able to catch her if they discover her locked in, but if they do find her they can call the Schoppmeyers at 756-9242.”
