LOST CAT: Tortoiseshell and white cat called Molly - Bow area, Tower Hamlets

Hi Rusty. Thanks for helping. Out. No, unfortunately still no sign of her. Have been out looking all around the neighbourhood.

Thanks Rusty for that information. No, sadly no news. Yes, I have posters around the whole area but will go in there to check . Have contacted local vets etc too. Thanks for your advice.

No probs, are you leaving food and a water bowl out, and scented items?

Yes, leaving food and water out. I’ll leave her little bed out there too. Good idea.

Hi Rusty. We heard some very difficult news yesterday. Was going to contact you this morning. Somebody called me who lives in some flats a little further along the canal. Our house , that we very recently moved into also backs onto the canal ( but we fenced it off because of pets). Anyway he saw a cat in the canal the day after she went missing but didn’t know about the posters until a friend showed him them. The cat matched Mollys description so he contacted me. He seemed a really nice genuine person. My husband has contacted canal authority and is awaiting a reply from them. The gardener was there the day she went missing and was clearing something at the back so I think must have left the gate open while collecting his tools so it’s more probable she didn’t go out the front and get lost as I previously thought. It’s been very sad news but because I didn’t see her myself I’m still holding out a tiny bit of hope that it wasn’t her so am not going to close this down for a few weeks. I’m away next week in Africa until the 4 th but should still be able to pick up messages from time to time and my husband will still be in Uk. Sorry to have to tell you such sad news and thank you for caring and helping out.

He saw it on the 12 th . The day after she went missing. He saw her from his flat that overlooks the canal , a little further on from us ( it’s the way the slight current goes). No didn’t retrieve. Iyes, I’ve been very sad. My one solace is that she isn’t trapped in s she’d. Starving , dehydrating to death. That was my worst fear . If it was her. Will let you know when we hear back from canal authority. It as you say , without chip or body I can’t know absolutely 100%. My dog is chipped but Molly came to us in an unusual way, mid life. Her collar with name tag had recently just come undone which hasn’t helped.

Thank you Rusty and thanks again for all your kindness , concern and hard work in this matter and for giving us closure.
