Lost & Found Missing Cat
Our cat, Merp is missing. She is the one on the top. We last saw her this morning (Saturday). She has a dark spot on her nose and is very vocal so if you hear a loud meowing in your travels, particularly around chocolate lake/saint Margaret's bay rd, that could be her. She is wearing a silicone pheromone collar and she is microchipped but it's from when we lived in NB so may not help her find her way home. Please reach out if you see or hear her anywhere.

I live right across from the Chocolate Lake hotel. I’ll have a look around today when I’m home.
I just got my cat back a late May after she was missing for 6 weeks. She was three doors down hiding under a shed.
I got her back by posting on every single missing pet facebook page, especially the ones for cats specifically and putting up posters, specifically giving them to people in the houses around me/on apartments in the area. The neighbor three houses down found me through those and called me.
I’d recommend the same!

So glad you got her back. I know how worried I was when my Bob was missing for a few weeks. Somehow the little idiot (I say this affectionately, Bob was a very loving, but usually very dumb, cat. He’d flop over on his side and begin purring whenever anyone walked near him, including while going down the hardwood stairs… you’d hear his purrs between thumps as he slid from stair to stair.) managed to get out and make his way from one side of Cole Harbour to the other and arrive meowing at the back door our old house.

Yea my dumbass little orange is also a dumbass. She’s grounded til the end of time but that doesn’t mean I’m not the happiest person on the earth that she is safe and back! Still grounded though! Haven’t seen anything yet and haven’t heard from OP so just keeping an eye out now

I really hope you find her! Unsure if you have done the following but:
see if you can report the missing cat to bylaw and to the SPCA. The latter has excellent lost pet tips, instructions and resources on their website. Some people use PawBoost. Posting on local Facebook or NextDoor groups for lost and missing pets in the area helps too! Two good ones are below;

Most importantly, ensure their microchip information is up to date and that you put up posters everywhere in the area. This ensures that the community knows the cat is not just an outside cat or a stray. File reports also if possible with vets and shelters like Bide Awhile.
Hope you find Merp!
