This came from our neighbors at 49th & Hazel.

Hi. We are the new neighbors at 4905 Cedar…

My husband and I returned from a work trip yesterday to discover that our cat has gone missing. He is not an outdoor cat, but we fear he may have panicked and run outside when one of our contractors left a door open.

Our cat is a short-haired gray cat with green eyes. He would answer to the name Marcel but is quite skittish. I suspect he has found somewhere close by to hide.

If you have seen him please let us know. We are heart broken to have lost him.

Thanks,
Amy, Chris and Declan

If you’ve seen Marcel please contact Amy Hoover at: ahooverdesign(at)gmail.com

The Clark Park bowl will go to the dogs this Sunday with the second annual Lug-Nuts Weight Pull and a day of protective pooch maintenance.

Low-cost vaccines and microchipping ($20-25) will be available at the park from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event, sponsored by P.A.W.S. Philadelphia and the Penn Vet Animal Welfare Society, will also include advice and deals on spay and neutering.

The highlight of the day is the weight pull, which kicks off at 1 p.m. No prior training is required to enter. No registration is required either. Just a willingness to strap on a harness. Everything from poodles to pit bulls to pomeranians are welcome to give the pull a try. Entrants receive free dog food. Free dog training and gifts will also be available.

This note has been passed around the neighborhoods by e-mail yesterday and today and we thought we should pass it along:

Neighbors,
Our dog was viciously mauled late this afternoon. The dog that attacked (a big, dark, brindle pit bull terrier) was tied up outside  Salt and Pepper at 47th and Chester, but broke its leash, raced across  the street and attacked our dog. As we wait to learn about the extent of his injuries from the good folks at PennVet, I wanted to warn everyone to be especially cautious, especially those with small children and animals. Thanks to the kindness of a few strangers the police have identified the owner. Please be careful.

This info came from City Kitties:

All-black female cat, green eyes, missing from 51st & Cedar since 3/20. Contact Lauren at 610-639-6051 or L.hansenflaschen – at – gmail.com if you think you have seen this kitty.

As always, please pass this along to block groups in that area, and check yards, alleyways, under porches, basements, etc.

Lost beagle mix, answers to Jake. About 35 Lbs, white with black spots and a black face. Last seen wearing a red collar and a blue leash attached.

He was last seen on 47th and Woodland heading north and lives around 47th and Pine.

Please call or text Mia at 915-329-2566, or Drew at 860-805-3779 if found or seen.

My neighbor just found a very friendly male cat. This kitty wandered into his house, near 48th/Baltimore. He’s a skinny guy, pale orange w/whitish chin, long-haired, bobbed tail (actually looks like it could have been cut off). It appears he’s already neutered. If you know of anyone who’s lost a kitty like this, please get in touch w/me. No photo.
