Lucy ~ Case 408

Our team put boots on the ground and we deployed a camera monitored feeding station in an undisclosed location near her last known location. 

We are using all of the reported sightings to diligently track her movements, patterns, routes of travel, etc. which helps us with our feeding station placement.  Once she is eating at our feeding station we will deploy our corral trap and capture her at her next feeding.

We have encouraged Lucy’s family to pass out flyers everywhere in the area to try and get more sightings.  Someone is seeing her but they don’t know who to call.  To date Lucy has not yet shown up at the feeding station.  We will continue searching for her.  

A new sighting was just reported across Hwy 423 from the location she was chased from on 7/11/23.  We will be conducting a detailed ground search of the immediate area. 

Sweet Lucy was located hiding in the front bushes of a home nearby Monday‘s sighting location and she was safely captured.  She was hidden very well.  Lucy does not have any injuries but she is much thinner and covered in fleas and ticks.  We will be having our veterinarian exam her, perform a fecal test to look for intestinal parasites as well as a 4DX test to look for tick borne diseases and Heartworms. She is not emergent so we will not be transporting to our Emergency Veterinarian.  Lucy will be going home with her family tonight and see our Veterinarian tomorrow.  We have advised Lucy’s family to feed Lucy utilizing our starvation protocol tonight and tomorrow for safety.
