My husband retrieved the cat, brought him home and we struggled to determine whether he was our baby. So similar! We took the cat to Halswell Vet and they confirmed that he was not neutered or microchipped. Our boy is. So very relieved, but sad to say someones fur baby has died. THE SEARCH for Eddie continues! Thank you all for your messages and kind words. I'm keeping positive Eddie's journey leads him home soon.
MISSING Halswell/Westlake/Longhurst area.
10 months old.
Please keep an eye out for our beloved boy.
