A couple of weeks ago, Mrs Beautiful Face, who i see day in day out, suddenly went missing. When I didn’t see her for two days straight, I knew something was wrong :(
I started going morning and evening to call for her, for over a year she’s been in the same spot so I knew her territory and hiding places, but there was no sign of her. My worry was that she’d become injured or sick and was hiding, so I had to keep looking. On the fourth day, I finally heard the faintest little meows echoing from inside a stupa.
We immediately spoke with the monks and pagoda workers, but no one knew who the stupa belonged to or how to contact the owner. I climbed the fence, slipped my phone through a crack, she was curled up but alive. I managed to toss some food in, and she ate, which gave me hope!
For the next couple of days, we kept trying to find the owner, asking more ajars, moto dops, sellers, etc. We could hear her little paws trying to climb up but she was completely sealed inside. Then, just as we were starting to lose hope, a man appeared at the pagoda who had the master key. After almost a week trapped, Mrs Beautiful Face was finally free.
She spent a few days at for fluids and monitoring for dehydration, and is now back at the pagoda, safe, well, and very happy to be back 😻
សូមអរគុណ for checking her and to the pagoda who helped make this rescue possible 🙏
