sabotabbyMarinetti has been found safe and sound. He's now home. He travelled a mindboggling distance that even I found difficult to walk. A woman out searching for her own cat found him, fed and watered him, and then called when she saw the posters.
Thanks everyone for your words of support. I didn't think I'd get a happy ending.
ETA: More details for those interested (or those who might one day find themselves in this horrible position):
• Marinetti walked at least 2.1 km (assuming he went in a straight line, which being a cat, he probably didn't), which is a 25-minute walk for an able-bodied human. This goes against all of the advice I'd heard, which is that indoor-only cats typically hide close by.
• He then ensconced himself on the lawn of a truly wonderful human being. She put him in the garage and gave him food, water, and a little bed.
• He was found because of the posters. This lady was going to put out posters herself, and then found mine.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chickenfeet2003 and lemur_catta deserve a special commendation for making sure that there were posters everywhere.
• My neighbours are really nice.
• He seems okay now. I'm sure he's lost weight, not like he had much to lose, but he did eat at his rescuer's place and gobbled treats and apparently some food once he was back home. He seems kind of tired but was purring and jumping up to get tap water from the bathtub, which is his current favourite thing. He doesn't look drastically worse for the wear, or traumatized.
