Searching - AURORA PEOPLE PALS Small ORANGE & WHITE STRIPED KITTY CAT

Maryann writes:We did buy the Aurora cat on Ebay. It really was the closest one I could find to my daughter's beloved "Ginger". We explained that Ginger may be on a great cat adventure, and we have checked in with the parks department every few days "just in case".. Kaiah's decided the new cat was Ginger's sister.

Thanks for all your help, and Liza's

This will help make bedtime a little easier on us all.

I stumbled across your website, while trying to find a replacement kitty for my daughter. Her cat was sold by Longs in Dec. of 2003. It's an orange & white striped cat, approx 6-7" long, with blue eyes. I don't know the manufacture, but it wasn't an expensive cat.

She's had this cat since she was 3, and she's devastated. We even put up missing signs in the park.

One of our very dedicated searchers, Liza FOUND the BRAND! I can almost make out the name on the tush tag . It appears to end with Pals or Pets and maybe ...gle at the beginning? Maybe that will be enough for someone to recognize the brand.

Searching - DanDee BIG Loosely Filled FAT ORANGE STRIPED CAT

Hi. I stumbled across this site while trying to find a stuffed cat I had gotten for my daughter back in 2006 ( I think ). I had gotten it from Wal-Mart, and it was the last one they had. Now that the toy is her favorite and has had a few "surgeries", my husband and I have played with the idea of trying to recreate it on our own. I saw your site and decided to give it a shot.

The toy was created by DanDee. It's a fat cat with stripes like a tabby or tiger. The outside material is I believe 98% polyester and 2% spandex. Since the day I bought it for her I have yet to ever see another like it. If you know of a place where it might be found please let me know.

Thank you in advance for any info you can give me,

Danielle

FOUND - SUGAR LOAF White CAT

I sent the eBay items to Susan that Kar had found, and here's her reply:

Wow, definitely a close match. Her doll was so worn it is difficult to tell for sure. I have purchased the cat and can't wait till it gets here. My husband and I are already thinking up a few stories to tell Scarlett about She-She's adventures. I'll send you a note when she arrives (approx. 1 week) to let you know how it works out. THANKS SO MUCH!

It might be fun to try to help them come up with some stories about where She-She has been. Any Suggestions?????

Lost: White Cat obtained from a Sugar Loaf vending machine approx. 1.5years ago.

While on vacation in Florida, my 3 year old daughter Scarlett lost her best friend, She She. She She slept with her and pretty much went with her everywhere. She She was a gift from a stranger a little over a year ago who had won her from a Sugar Loaf vending machine in our hometown, Pittsburgh.

As soon as we realized she was missing (within a few hours) we went back to the restaurant and retraced our steps with no luck. She She is like a member of our family and definitely my daughter's best friend.

We've tried to contact the vendor and gone back to the vending machine without any luck. This simple stuffed animal brought so much comfort and joy to our daughter. Thanks for any help you can give us in finding a replacement is much appreciated. Unfortunately, we don't have any manufacturing information.

Please help, my 3 year old is devastated.

Thanks!
Susan

Searching - 50's?? 60's??? GRAY MAMA CAT Lying Down ZIPPER TUMMY With or Without Original Kittens

Carrie has added this photo:

I think this one from eBay is very similar. It’s a Dakin from 1981 same color with three kittens, only they attach as if nursing with Velcro and do not go in the tummy. That’s the closest I have found so far.

Here's an update on Carrie's mother's condition as of 06/25/08:

She is making incredible progress! Due to a stroke after the surgery she needs physical therapy to strengthen her left side and to help walk but is definitely gaining that strength. She has a speech therapist and is making progress there too! She just had eye surgery which cleared her vision in her left eye. The doctors say she should make a 95-100 percent recovery which is totally amazing!
Thank you so much, I really do appreciate all of your help!

Please help if you can. My mother recently suffered a brain aneurysm and we do not know her prognosis. When she was little her favorite toy was a stuffed cat with Velcro a ZIPPER tummy that had kittens inside. Mom is 55 years old, so I imagine the cat was in production 45-50 years ago.

I think it would help her to have her kitty by her side again.

I don’t have a picture of the cat, but I remember that it was gray and in a laying position. It was one of the more realistic looking stuffed animals for the time (1950’s). I don’t know if that will help.

I have even searched for a cat that looks similar so that I could add the tummy and kittens but I have not had any luck. She lived in the Los Angeles area, San Gabriel I think… if that helps.

Thank you, I really appreciate your efforts.
Carrie

Lost Toy FOUND - Is It YOURS? East Lansing, MICHIGAN

I found in a parking lot in East Lansing, Michigan, USA, sometime around Thanksgiving last November 2007, a small child's toy that I'm sure some sad child is looking for. I put an ad in the paper but no response.

It is a kitty cat in a small plastic cat carrier. The label on the plastic-faced, plush body of the cat says TalentToy Factory Limited. The kitty is brown and beige with a blue collar and the carrier is purple on top, pink on the bottom and has a yellow door (with a heart shape on it) and a yellow handle. It is approximately 6 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches by 3 3/4 inches.

I found it by Sindhu restaurant in Hannah Plaza.

Searching - WHITE CAT with DARK BROWN STRIPES on His BACK

. Hi - I'm the guy from the MSNBC story that also featured your site. What a great thing you have going here!

It's been a month since Gigi was lost, but Simon still mentions him every couple days, although he has taken to his Gigi Bear replacement pretty well.

Still, we would like to find Gigi again, either the real one or a replacement of the same make. He had no tag, so we don't know who made him - and we bought him at Marshall's and have no receipt...so that trail has ended.

Maybe someone out there will recognize his maker?

BTW, we keep Gigi alive in Simon's life by leaving little things "from Gigi", like chocolates, and little things for the Christmas advent calendar magically appear overnight.

My wife's idea - I thought it would traumatize him more, but he enjoys hearing about Gigi and knowing he's around somewhere. He thinks that Gigi is out there on the train having fun, and playing on the elevator in the station.

He's about 10" in length, soft plush white fur with brown stripes, 2 beady eyes, and threads for whiskers. He's more worn looking than the picture indicates.

Thanks -
Kent
