This beloved cat named Oliver was last seen at his home on the 800 block of Eucalyptus Avenue on or about October 7, 2012. His collar was found on a fence two houses down. He is microchipped.
There have been several sightings of Oliver around Forestview & Oaks.

I got a call tonight at around 8:30 from someone who saw a cat that looked like Sonny (based on my door hanger) while they were driving by the intersection of Tartan Trail and Black Mountain Road. They said he was with another cat.
We drove over there within a few minutes with a can of mackerel and put some near a curb, then sat in our parked car and watched. Lo and behold, before very long, we saw cat eyes reflecting near the mackerel. We shined a flashlight on the cat and it ran away, but at a glance we both thought it could have been Sonny. We went back to the car for a while, then the cat came back. We approached the cat, but it ran away and then after that it didn’t come back. I came back half an hour later, and the mackerel had not been touched.
I will follow up at that location tomorrow with door hangers and will try to talk to residents. I didn’t get as far as Black Mountain with my door hangers over the weeked. The last street I covered in that direction was Marlborough.
Update Dec 11: I went back to the location again last night at around 10pm, and as I was parking, the same light-colored cat ran across the road right in front of me! Again, it was very fast, but it could have been Sonny. We don’t want to get our hopes up too much, but we will be pursuing this lead to try to determine whether it is Sonny or just a similar-looking cat.
Chai is a female Abyssinian who went missing from Black Mountain Rd, Hillsborough, on March 21, 2012.
Chai’s owner Innie has a great blog http://findchai.blogspot.com/ where you can read more about Chai and the extensive search for her.
Shortly after our cat Sonny went missing, I got in touch with Innie for advice, and she has been a tremendous help, for which I’m very grateful.
Blue is a neutered, microchipped marbled grey male. He went missing from Knightwood Ln during the summer.
He has gone missing before but always came back. He is a good hunter.
There have been potential Blue sightings around Summit and Baileyana.

I finally had time to mail out Lost Cat fliers to the 20 closest vets yesterday morning, as recommended by pet search experts. I got the list of vets by going to the Home Again site and searching for vets closest to 94010. The locations range from Daly City to San Carlos. I skipped Pacifica for now.
Today I will drive around to “refresh” my posters as needed, and make my routine visit to the Peninsula Humane Society.
I worry more than ever about Sonny with all the storms we’re having.

I just placed an order for 1,000 Lost Cat door hangers, 4.25″ x 11″. I highly recommend cheapdoorhangers.com, they had the lowest prices I could find, plus the staff was super-helpful and nice, and even gave me a quote over the Thanksgiving weekend when they were technically not open for business.
Sonny on his first day at home, July 5, 2011. Dr. Rudiger had just performed another pro-bono eyelid surgery.
Sonny and Teddy were found as stray kittens in a parking lot in Redwood City in July 2010. They were scheduled to be euthanized by a shelter (not PHS) because they were born with eyelid agenesis / entropian eyelids. Dr. Monica Rudiger, the kind founder of the wonderful Nine Lives Foundation in Redwood City, saved their lives and gave them eyelid surgery.
Because they were “special needs” cats, they were up for adoption for many months, and they were more than one year old when we adopted them in 2011. We adopted Teddy first. Sonny was in the infirmary, so we didn’t meet him. And we weren’t planning on having three cats (we already had a black cat named Max). When I saw Sonny was still up for adoption one month later, I talked my husband into adopting him too. That was in July 2011.
Adopting Sonny was one of the best things we ever did. He is the most affectionate, sweetest cat I’ve ever had. And watching him and his brother cuddling and grooming each other is priceless. We hope we’ll get the chance to reunite these bonded brothers once again. Seeing Teddy without Sonny makes his disappearance even more heartbreaking.
