Sweetie has passed away

We just went out and identified her body. Sweetie was hit by a car on Erie in SE DC. We are heartbroken over this, as we were SO CLOSE. We had a time and place that we were pretty sure we could trap her in the enclosure trap.

She is happily playing at the Rainbow Bridge with her dear friend, Buddy, who went to the Rainbow Bridge mid-March. Thank you for all your efforts everyone!

ANOTHER sightiing

One of our volunteers saw Sweetie with her very own eyes! Hanging out at the Senior Wellness Center on the corner of Alabama and 30th SE in DC. It's a shame our girl is so shy, otherwise we could have had her.

We have our enclosure trap out and placed, with volunteers monitoring, so cross your fingers that she goes in this time (we are using a different trap now since she wouldn't go in the other one).

Desperately need help to bring our girl home!!!

Hi, all, we have confirmed that Sweetie's territory stretches 6 miles! We want to make sure those 6 miles are HEAVILY fliered this weekend (Saturday). As of right now we don't have very many people coming to the flyering event and we desperately need more. If you can spare even an hour to help out, please come!

Here's the information about the flyering event from an earlier blog post:

What: Flier the area and search for Sweetie; hand out business cards

What to bring:
- 50 copies of the flier (download at right or leave a comment for us to email you the flier)

If you can't be on site, but still want to help the search effort, please donate! Thank you!

another new sighting!

Sweetie has just been sighted on Insey Street in District Heights . We have someone headed out right now to check it out!

Sighting CONFIRMED!

It appears that Miss Sweetie can't decide whether she enjoys Maryland or DC more, and goes back and forth. The sighting from yesterday was confirmed last night, and it appears she shows herself at that location on and off! We also think we may have found her DC den, so we will keep an eye on that and hopefully bring her home soon!!!
