Barn Cat Missing

My barn cat, Cleo, has been missing now for almost a week. This is very unlike her as she spends basically all her time in my barn. The longest amount of time she has ever been gone is 4 days. I adopted Cleo 2 years ago because she is strictly an outdoor cat and the shelter was having trouble placing her. She is a lean (very muscular) patched tabby weighing approximately 7 pounds. She is a brown and orange tabby with 4 white feet, a white snip on her nose and a white belly and chest. Cleo is extremely friendly and bold and would most likely approach anyone. She also gets along very well with all types of animals. She was in fantastic health when she disappeared. Her weight was good and she had a nice thick winter coat. She does love her insulated cat house though. I miss her terribly! She has never been gone this long before. I found her collar with tags in my yard (she constantly loses collars) so she is not wearing one now. She is microchipped however. Unfortunately the 2 two feral kittens I have (yes I got them spayed and neutered) were both shot with a beebee gun a few days ago so I am now fearing the worst for Cleo. If you have any information good or bad PLEASE contact me. I miss her very much! I'll attach more pictures once I download them. Thank you!

It seems to be a tough time for the barn cats in the area! We had two go "missing" last month. One we found the next day dead in our barn that had gotten the worst of a fight from probably a fox or coyote. And the other was gone for over a month and showed up one night out of the blue! She wasn't skinny or beat up - she's probably conned one of our distant neighbors into feeding her - I'm gonna attach a note to a collar to let them know she knows where our food dishes are :lmao: Hopefully your Cleo will appear soon! :flowers:

That's what I'm hoping! She's such a fearless cat but unfortunately that works against her!! Especially since she's so small! I'm attaching some better pictures of her. It might make her markings a bit more clear.

Still Missing

Sorry to keep posting cat stuff on the horse threads but you know how important our barn cats are to us and my Cleo is still missing. All the local shelters and rescue groups in the area have her pictures but my signs I've put in the neighborhood continuely blow away. PLEASE if anyone has any information whether good or bad please contact me. Cleo is such a sweet cat and is very sadly missed. I'm attaching a couple more pictures with the hope that someone may have spotted her. Thanks!!
