  I received a lost pet alert on my home phone and have walked your neighborhood twice with no sign of Poppy.  Your posters can’t be missed.  He is clearly loved.   I will keep my eye out although I’m in Roxhill.

      I’m assuming you are checking the shelters.  I saw a male siamese cat on the king county animal shelter site found at 26th ave sw and roxbury (King county site not city of Seattle).  He was UNALTERED.  I believe Poppy is fixed?  I’m hoping so because the above kitty was found deceased.   Here is the animal ID.   I might also suggest you cross post on Nextdoor.  I sometimes find things there that I don’t see on the blog and vice versa. Good Luck. 

      Animal ID# A539833

  I was biking in to work this morning and the the biker in front of me had stopped and was looking in the bushes along the bike path. He said he saw a siamese cat run across the bike path and hide in the bushes. I told him about Poppy and the signs.  He said he would check out the WSblog. I tried calling both your numbers just now. The sighting was on the east side ( Harbor Island)  of the lower Spokane street bridge. It was on the North side along the bike path by the cross walk. There is a large green metal box(probably the electrical  for the street light) that was in the bushes this cat ran into to hide. The biker stayed to see if he could coax the cat out. Good luck.

    Dear Alan,

    Thank you for #savingpoppy!  I found him soon after you called me!  Poppy is happy and safe! Words can not express how I am feeling at this very minute!

  @Alan….  Thanks!  I’m the biker.  That’s the cat I saw.  I’ll try calling too.

  I walked within the bushes looking for the cat.  Poppy ran into the knee high thorny bushes where the “Railroad Crossing” sign is mounted.  Again, this is as you’re going west onto the lower West Seattle Bridge.   The cat was sitting in the sidewalk and ran into the bushes when he saw my bike coming.

  I got ahold of one of them and she’s heading there now.  Hopefully she finds the cat.

    Great news!…  They found Poppy!

    I received a heartfelt “Thank You” voicemail just now.   I have two cats and they mean the world to me.  Yes…I’m a crazy cat guy.

      Dear John,

      Thank you very much for calling and letting me know you saw Poppy this morning!  I was able to go to the exact location you described and find him. Poppy has been missing since Sept 18th. He has lost quite a bit of weight but seems to be in pretty good shape other than that. He is so happy to be home. I don’t think I would have found him without your help. Teresa

        You’re welcome!  I’m glad he’s home and back with his family.

         We got very lucky.

  Wow, that is so awesome! I’ve seen the signs all over and was hoping the cat would make it home safely.

    I know. Teresa and Jess worked very hard. Committed, long hours of sign making, amazing ones at that and walking, walking and more walking. They would drop everything for a tip they woud receive. Thanks to the two bicyclists who saw him and called. This time the timing was just right. If this is anything short of amazing. That cat spent a great deal of time in an area of industry in WS and survived. A very happy ending. I think Poppy is known all over WS.. Thank you everyone who kept an eye out and contacted Teresa with any information.
