Psychics and pet detectives help out in worried owner’s campaign.

Radio appeals, handmade leaflets, pet detectives, and even psychic communicators. These are the lengths a Lincolnshire woman has gone to in order to find her missing cat.

Sue Machen’s pet cat, Oliver, went missing on October 24 from his home in Boothby Graffoe.

Now, Miss Machen has made an appeal to the Echo to help find more information on her missing cat.

Oliver is a white and grey tabby cat. He has a white stomach and legs, and is tabby down his back and tail. He also has a distinctive black spot on the left side of his pink nose.

Christmas Eve will mark two months since Oliver was last seen.

Miss Machen, a 56-year-old nurse, is looking for any information on Oliver that may help to bring him home in time for Christmas.

“The last time I saw him was on the evening of the October 24, at around 8.45pm,” she said.

“He was outside in the gardens and I’ve not seen him since. This is the first time he’s ever done something like this, so I’m very worried. He’s a great cat, and I miss him so much.

“I’ll do everything I can to find him. I’m very hopeful, as I don’t think people or pets just disappear into thin air. Someone may have found him thinking he was a stray, or he might be living rough.

“I’ve had so many leads worth following up, but none have led to his recovery as of yet. It’s like having a big jigsaw. I’ve got all the pieces, but I just don’t know where they fit.

“Hopefully, someone can come forward with some information and then all the pieces will fit together.”

Miss Machen has gone to great lengths to find Oliver, which has resulted in handing out leaflets throughout Lincolnshire, local radio campaigns, hiring animal communicators and psychics, and even seeking help from pet detective agency Animal Search UK.

“The psychic and the animal communicators gave me some helpful indications of where he might be,” she said.

“I don’t know how they did it, but they picked up feelings and tuned into his presence to try and find where he is.”

Charlotte House, a spokesman for Animal Search UK, said they were hopeful members of the public would come forward with any information about the missing cat.

“We hope someone will see the posters of Oliver that are in circulation and come forward,” she said.

“Anyone with any information about Oliver can contact Animal Search UK on 0800 4320340. Lines are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Alternatively, anyone with any further information on Oliver can contact Miss Machen directly on (01522) 813891, or 07969 907383.
