"NT Sweetie" Tortoise shell Manx, Angwin

 

NT was being fostered while her person was in hospice. She is 14 years old indoor only and not wearing any ID. 

She got out of a window that was slightly open for the other cats in the house. There were no sightings until the morning we arrived, four days after she went missing. NT was spotted on a wildlife camera several blocks away and that person remembered seeing a flyer on her road. NTs person confirmed it was her when the video was sent her. 

When I arrived we drove to the home where the camera was. I showed Asia the scent and showed her the area. We also talked to a neighbor and found she had seen NT also that night on her porch, even petting her but had not seen the flyer and didnt know she was lost. Asia picked up the track leading away from the home. We followed the track for four and a half miles around and around the area, crossing and recrossing the track.

At 4 hours the search was stopped and she said she would keep looking. Down the road about a quarter mile was the local fire station.

Two days later I received a call from NTs person that she had been found at the fire station, alive and well!!!

Great job, everyone!!

"Irini" Steppe Tortoise, San Francisco

 

Irini is a 40 year old Steppe Tortoise originally from Russia. Her people have had her for 23 years. They said that Irini had been showing signs of looking for a place to hibernate for the winter. While left alone in her outdoor yard enclosure, Irini managed to push aside a heavy concrete block and wander up a steep dirt hillside in the yard and get through holes in the fence into the neighbor's yard. 

I brought Tacoma in to have him search the area since the vegetation was very thick and on a steep hillside in the Diamond Heights district. Irini's person kept their yard very well maintained and landscaped, but their neighbors did not and the trees and bushes were very overgrown and fences were either broken or missing on all sides. Very easy for a determined tortoise to get where she wants to go. 

What we found was that her scent did not leave the areas of the neighbor's yard to the right of their house. This house has extensive overgrown landscaping, untouched for years and even Tacoma at his tiny size, had problems getting through some of the sections. Plus the houses were built on very steep hillsides, making it more difficult to climb them, even in well maintained landscaping. 

Tacoma indicated that her scent had not left the neighbor's yard, which means two things: that Irini found her way to the yard and is hibernating, exactly what her person was afraid of, digging way below the surface of the earth. The second thing that could have happened, and we did talk about it  while on the search, was that Irini had become deceased while in the yard, and her remains carried away or decomposed and buried. This was a strong possibility with the extensive raccoon population in the area. Despite us being there in the late morning, we saw numerous raccoons awake and hanging out in the local trees. Irini's  person did confirm she had seen the raccoons in the neighbor's yard.
