LuCrew 0 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi there! Our family was camping at Ft. Wilderness last week (left Saturday march 28)and we believe our 17 year old cat jumped out while we were packing up to leave. He (Spot) is white with black spots, older (17), and very sweet. He has never gotten lost like this before. He is microchipped and we've reported him as lost to the campground, but they cannot- will not post a picture of him like we'd hoped. We are wondering if some kind soul is taking care of him in their camper. We were in site 861 in the Jack Rabbit (800) loop. If anyone is there now and hears anything or could help in any way we would be so appreciative!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are a couple of pages devoted to the fort and you would get a lot of coverage. I hope you find your cat. Familyiseverythingtome and Beckers 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks so much for doing this and welcome to the group! Best bet for contacting Lucrew is to have her PM you her phone number (please don't post it here publicly where the spammers can see). Really hoping Spot is found soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Great! How do you ship a cat? Too bad this wasn't a week ago....I think some IL Fiends were heading north then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Familyiseverythingtome 0 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 OMG!!!!! I have tears in my eyes!!!! I can't believe he's been found!! That is sooooooo awesome!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 So great that he's been found! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Jill's latest post on FB... Yes! I love the hidden Mickey comment! He is currently at the pet hospital at Animal Kingdom. Thanks to all for your concern. He is 17, and the vet I talked to there said he is doing very well and has been very sweet. She said though since he's older she recommended I try to find him a car ride.... I've been working in it all day today and haven't yet found him a ride (still thinking).. As luck has it our town's spring break in Illinois was last week. If anyone reading this is coming north at all is willing to pick up Spot, we would meet you wherever. Anywhere north of Florida is closer than us driving all the way back... We would pay you for any expenses plus hopefully do something else for you to thank you!!! You could pm me or call/txt me (jill) at [please PM Jill for phone #]. Thank you for reading!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, thats why I wrote it. I'm a cat lover and didn't mean anything by it. DIT put it out there so I ran with it. Actually I kept picturing the part in "Christmas Vacation" when the senile aunt wrapped their cat up. Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best Regards,Norm I too am a cat person, having a few in my life including one that lived 17 years and the other almost 15. They are wonderful pets... sadly the older I get, the more my allergies seem to bother me. Having said that, my father has a very "different" sense of humor so I laughed when I read your post. Now, he would NEVER ship a pet... but he did put my hamster in one of the plastic balls and let the cat chase it around for a few minutes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A Fiend behind the scenes has reached out and offered to help in some way. Not sure yet what the outcome will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuCrew 0 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi all - Thank you for your posts and concerns (and even jokes - gotta laugh sometimes when things get rough and I do have to say that the Nat.Lampoon movies are some of our favorites)... Update - My family (including 4 girls!) is very relieved that Spot has been found (he was found at the Fort and brought to their front desk in a golf cart, then transported to the animal hospital)... he's doing great and they say he's very sweet, just I can't believe that Spot is currently at the Animal Kingdom animal hospital! Disney is being so awesome and I am really grateful to all.. now on to trying to get Spot home! I did hear from an awesome Fort Fiend member who is willing to help - great option and so grateful - would likely involve helping to get Spot to an airport...may be our only and best option (with holes of course!)... I am still putting out my plea - if there is anyone out there who is driving north -who is a cat lover... who has a friend who is currently in Orlando...who would be willing to help us get Spot from Animal Kingdom and drive with him north... we live in IL, but anywhere north of Florida will be closer for us - We would be soooo grateful!! - The kind vet at AK said it would involve meeting at the security gate at Animal Kingdom. Again, Spot is a 17 year old cat and the vet thought driving in a carrier would be best for him...Of course I would reimburse you for any expenses and try to return the favor in any way that we could. We are willing/able to drive multiple states to come and meet you - Indiana? Missouri? Tennessee? Also I'm not sure if there is a general forum where I should post this... Take care and thank you for having this forum!

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 This thread is just fine, Jill. It's on our public boards, so anyone reading here at FortFiends.net can see it whether they're logged in or not. Keeping my fingers crossed that you can get Spot sorted out and headed back home soon!

michele j 9 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 So happy Spot was found Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 596 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 So happy your cat was found.Just an FYI as was mentioned this is a public forum so, you probably do not want your phone number posted. The best thing to do is ask people to PM you if they can help out.Hoping Spot is home soon. Perhaps he would even like to write a trip report and share pictures of his adventures both with you and the time on his own. We love Trip Reports here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
