Missing ginger cat [spotted in Kilmorie school, now home]

Our ginger cat is missing from Cranston Road since yesterday morning - it’s first time he’s ever not come home overnight.

His name is Stanley and he’s very friendly - prone to paying our neighbours a visit. He’s micro-chipped, short haired, no collar.

He usually roams around Cranston Road, Kilmorie Road, Vancouver, Elsinore etc.

Please keep an eye out, check any sheds etc. Let me know if there’s any sightings!

Hi @amyj, sorry to hear about Stanley. I have shared on the SE23.life social channels and hope he returns soon.

Thank you so much. Hope we find him soon.

I saw a similar looking cat last night about 10.15pm on the corner of Treviso and Farren Road.
It was dark though so I’m afraid I can’t be sure it was your cat…

Hi Chris, the notice on the SE23.life facebook page appears to have dropped off. Lots of local people I know had shared your Facebook page so this has now dropped off too. Do you know what might have happened? Thanks, Amy

Thanks Lee. We looked around there, but will look again tonight - no luck so far. Amy

Hi Amy,

Unfortunately I don’t know any more than you do

Facebook is sometimes buggy for page owners. One of my pages inexplicably disappeared from my app completely for several days and I was worried it had been hacked. Then, as if nothing had happened it re-appeared.

I’ve checked on Twitter and there are a lot of people complaining about Facebook’s new algorithm changes, which have removed legitimate posts.

I’ll contact them, although trying to get support from a big organisation like FB is unlikely to yield any answers unfortunately.

Hi, you’ve probably had all the usual advice, but when my sister’s cat went missing recently (and found), she was advised to put clothes outside which smelt of her and obviously knock on doors of everyone to ask them to check sheds. That’s the usual culprit. Fingers crossed Stanley shows up soon and will keep an eye out for him.

Looks like it’s back again:

Hi, there’s a ginger cat that roams around my street in Peckham. I’ve put a paper collar around him with my number on it in case he belongs to anyone. He doesn’t look quite the same but posting pictures just in case

Thanks Chris - it’s back up now

Thanks Georgina - yes put some things outside that smell of Stanley and been knocking in all the houses that back onto ours. Really hoping he makes an appearance soon

Thanks Ben. He looks similar to our cat but Stanley doesn’t have a white belly and his paws are a different colour so think he must belong to someone else.

Is there a sign outside the school naming whatever company monitors their security and alarms? There will usually be an emergency phone number there, and that company will either be keyholders or will be able to contact the keyholders.

Thanks all. Security company is on their way.

I am so happy about this! I love a very happy ending to these situations but this takes the (cat) biscuit. Stanley you are a lucky man! So relieved

Amazing! I was thinking about Stanley all weekend in the rain… so happy this ends well

What a great end to this story. So glad Stanley is back home.

@MackemJo @Nadia @Ruth_L thanks so much - we are so happy to have him home. He has been enjoying a good belly rub and some well deserved food.

This has absolutely warmed my heart! I know how I’d feel if mine was lost so I hope Stanley (and you!) recover quickly ️

So glad he’s home. Kudos to whoever spotted him in the school!
