lost pets

An all-black, short-haired male cat has gone missing since Oct. 10 from Darien Lake Theme Park and Campground. It is neutered and microchipped and very much missed by his family and his BFF -- the family dog. He answers to "Phoenix" or "FeeFee."

There is a reward if found. Please call Kathy at 716-472-8968.

Little "Rascal" has been on the lam since about 4:30 p.m. yesterday. The pup was last seen near Terry Hills Golf Course on Clinton Street in Batavia. He has dark fur and eyes, as seen in this photo with his smart red "Petco" kerchief. The owner is Destiny Henning. If found, please contact her friend Jessica Hayes at jessicahayes2001@yahoo.com

Two older German shepherds were found on Galloway Road in the Batavia/Oakfield area. One male and one female. Very friendly and calm. Contact DJ at 585.509.3943.

A reader contacted us about a lost dog last night. It's a young, black male Labrador retriever and it was found on Marsh Road in East Bethany around 6:30-7 p.m.

"He is a beautiful dog," says the reader, "clean, well groomed and extremely well behaved. I would guess he's around a year and a half old."

He stayed with the finders a couple of hours until an officer came and took him to the Genesee County Animal Shelter on West Main Street Road in the Town of Batavia.

(We have pictures of the pup, which I'm having trouble posting, but they should be up later today. It shows him wearing a brown leather collar without tags.)

Two dearly loved cats are missing after a car accident that occurred in the Town of Batavia on Aug. 15.

"Albert" and "Sophie" fled the scene following the smash-up on Route 63 at Sheppard Road that Thursday morning.

Owner David Hess hopes our readers can help.

Albert is a 6-year-old male, black and white short hair, neutured and microchipped. His right ear is flattened and scarred due to a past ear mite infection.

His constant companion, Sophie, is a 3-year-old female with medium length black fur.

If found, contact Kathy at (716) 472-8968 or e-mail David at dmh3@bell.net

UPDATE 3:30 p.m. Sept. 2: The owner of Albert and Sophie contacted us today via e-mail to let us know the cats have been returned safely by the Volunteers for Animals at the county shelter.
