We are sorry to say, we have exhausted our search for Pete and have to end it.

Feral cats can roam an area of 100 acres or more. But being that Pete has been fed at one location for the last four years, he most likely would only roam 5 to 10 acres at the most.

Because we can not find Pete, there are only a few possibilities as to what happened to him. Remember, it was August 31st and we were all preparing for a bad hurricane that was approaching the Village.

Neighbors had their sheds and garages open preparing for the storm by shuttering up their houses and putting away yard items. Pete could have been trapped in one of those sheds or garages and did not survive. A cat could live 5 to 7 days without water but, some neighbors left after preparing for the storm.

Some neighbors left the area in their Campers. Pete could have been trapped inside and then let go or most likely escaped at the location they stopped at when he was discovered.

 Also, there is the chance he was attacked by a coyote or other animal.

The last possibility is that he is on walk about and will return some day.

As afraid of people that Pete was, he would never have gone up to anyone. He could only be trapped. Remember what happened when I tried to trap Pete on my screen porch. He ate right through the screen to escape.

Teddy and Pete were always together.

That void has now been filled by Bandit who is always with Teddy.

Sorry there have not been any posts for a while. We have been  hunting for Pete and working many jobs lately saving money to build the enclosure we started to keep all the Villagers safe and we are almost  ready to get the job started.

Pete, or as we call him Petey, will be missed and we can only hope that he will possibly return one day to the Village. When we finish the enclosure, there will be one access door into the village that can read the micro chip that Pete had been given. The door will open letting Pete in then lock to keep him safe in the village.

Thank you for Reading Kitty Village News.
