Elbie was stolen from me two weeks ago. She is now two-years old, but she is the kitten that had her eye removed two summers ago that I posted about on this page. She continued to travel around with me after she recovered from her surgery. She was a small cat, and because she was so used to riding around in my shirt as a baby, I could still carry her around like that, and she would remain calm in stores and was completely comfortable in the car. She had become my absolute best friend. But when I woke up last Tuesday morning, she was gone. At first I thought she was sleeping somewhere, or even hiding, which scared me, because we were planning on visiting the vet that day due to a URI flareup, so I was initially worried that she perhaps felt worse than I had thought and had hid somewhere. But she wasn't hiding, and even though the police and others in my life suggested she somehow got outside and away on her own, I do not believe that. I inspected everything and after much deliberation, I do not think there is any way she could have gotten out on her own, and I don't think she would have left me if she could have. She loved me as much as I loved her. I called her my little attachment because of how attached she was to me. Every time I sat down, she was in my lap a minute later. I miss her so much. My phone was also stolen a week after she disappeared, so I lost all of my current pictures and videos of her, since they weren't uploaded to the cloud yet. I am devastated. Just wanted to post here because I will never stop looking for her and believing she is still alive and will return to me. She is all white with just one eye, her right eye. I have had problems with break-ins and harassment in my neighborhood the past three years, and fear her disappearance is related to that. If so, I do not want her with the people who have done those things to us, because I don't believe they would care about her life or well-being. But I am still praying that she is safe and alive.
